George Jones
George Jones’s struggle with alcoholism didn’t stop him from producing hit after hit such as “The Grand Tour” and “The Door.” Jones passed away when he was 81 years old in 2013 and his impact on country music brought many legends to pay their respects, like Governor Mark Huckabee and even the Former First Lady Laura Bush.
The Oak Ridge Boys
Now The Oak Ridge Boys started out as a gospel quartet up until the 70’s when they re-branded as country. Hits like “Elvira”, “Bobbie Sue”, and “American Made” gave them tons of country and crossover success. Currently they’re still a group that continues to tour and record.
