Summary of An American Journey: Over 30 Years o the Road to Memories, Music & Legend

Follow the incredible long-lasting career of the Oak Ridge Boys, the singing legend that started as the Georgia Clodhoppers, the only outside group ever allowed to entertain within the WWII secret government installation at Oak Ridge, Tenn. Their history is varied and amusing, from the lean years of the early 70s (including a stint at the Nugget Hotel in Vegas, with the opening act of two elephants named "Bertha" and "Teena") to the glory days of the early 80s (including the five-million-record-selling "Elvira," Grammy awards, and appearances on "The Tonight Show" with Johnny Carson) and on to special private concerts for the president and his family.

The versatile Oak Ridge Boys has been called "a Gospel quartet singing country music with a rock and roll attitude" and is as American as baseball or apple pie. The group still sings and tours, pleasing their longtime fans, and making many new fans every day.
