@knightryderrwn ----i heard the same-----guessed they wised up and wanted him back---but also heard their was going to be a law suit by the mountain man
Which goes along with what I said about WMG's turning to the "mountain man" life.....it didn't fit with the image the other members were going for. I'm sure there were other circumstances, too. It's just too bad that Steve Sanders (WMG's replacement) committed suicide -- I don't think there was any reason for that.
That's interesting....I read in a story of the Oak Ridge Boys (official) that the reason they kicked WMG out was because of his devotion to the "mountain man" lifestyle -- including the animal skin clothing, which tended to smell on the tour bus. The rest of the group didn't feel that this new image of WMG's went along with the rest of the group, so they voted for him to leave. I don't recall the circumstances of his rejoining the group, though.
one of the greatest country groups ever!!!!!

@knightryderrwn I done some research on this: William Lee Golden was fired in 1986 when the other members wished to change the country band's image.
