∙ Talk About the Good Times earned the band their first of five Grammy Awards—this one for Best Gospel Performance—in 1970.
∙ “I’ll Be True to You,” from their groundbreaking 1977 album, Y’all Come Back Saloon, gave The Oak Ridge Boys their first of 17 Billboard Hot Country Singles chart-toppers.
∙ Their 1981 No. 1 Country hit “Elvira” not only won ACM and CMA Awards for Single of the Year, but it also won the 1982 Grammy for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal.
∙ Along with The Fisk Jubilee Singers and Edwin Hawkins, they were inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame in 2000.
