William Lee Golden

After a lot more than two decades using the Oak Ridge Boys, baritone vocalist William Lee Golden was fired in 1986 when the other members wanted to change the united states band’s image. He previously became a member of the group in 1964, when the Oaks had been a gospel/folk group, and he followed their rise through the united states charts through the ’70s. In 1985, Golden documented the solo recording American Vagabond for MCA with help from Booker T. Jones and Joe Walsh. Two singles, “Like Is the Just WAY TO AVOID IT” and “You Can’t Consider It With You,” made an appearance on the united states charts, but the Oak Ridge Males let him proceed. He submitted a 40 million buck lawsuit, that was resolved out of courtroom, and then started to record along with his sons Rusty and Chris. They relocated to Mercury in 1990 and documented the solitary “Louisiana Crimson Dirt Highway.” Four years later on, Golden released an recording for North/South, a department of Atlantic.
