The Oak Ridge Boys were invited to join the Grand Ole Opry on July 8, 2011. The legendary country music group made up of William Lee Golden, Joe Bonsall, Richard Sterban, and Duane Allen will be formally inducted into the Opry family on Sat., Aug. 6, 2011.
After the Oaks performed their hit "Y'All Come Back Saloon," 62-year Opry member Jimmy Dickens surprised the group by walking on stage dressed as a 4'11" William Lee Golden, including long beard and sunglasses. "All my life I've wanted to be a little bitty Oak Ridge Boy," Dickens announced to raucous laughter in the Opry House. "On August 6th, I will become the newest member of the Oak Ridge Boys, and at that time, you will become the newest members of the Grand Ole Opry!"
Joe Bonsall responded for the group, saying, "Jimmy, that's the funniest thing we've ever seen, first of all. This is a brotherhood and sisterhood unlike any other. We have been friends of the Opry for a long time. ... We will get on our bus later and let this process, and I guess we have until August 6th to let it sink in."
The group concluded its set with the classic "Elvira," now being celebrated for it's 30th anniversary. They later returned to the stage to join Larry Gatlin on "All the Gold In California."

Well done Pete Fisher, maybe this is a trend that we will see more of. Long time artists being recognized by the Opry would be a good move! Oaks, congrats on a magical career and keep doing what you're doing! See? Perseverance does pay off...
