  • William Lee Golden's solo video from 1990 on Mercury/Polygram Records. This video was the number one video on CMT for two weeks in 1990. This song was recently re-recorded by The Oak Ridge Boys (with Golden on lead) on their 2011 Cracker Barrel exclusive release, "It's Only Natural."
    Later rerecorded on "My Life's Work."

    It's a damn shame that William Lee Golden didn't get more recognition as a solo artist. I've always thought he has the best voice of all the Oak Ridge Boys.

    Now I'll tell ya what... this is what ya call true Country Music! Dadgumnit.. I don't hardly even turn on the raydyo anymore because of all that mess they play now. Once a week, Me, Peggy, Bobby, and Lou Ann invite Bill over and we sit around the old stereo, and play some real country music on Albums. Boy Howdy, now that William Lee Golden feller , when you think of The Oak Ridge Boys... well you just have to think of ole Bill Golden and that long beard. Ya know, that's his trademark. You see.. here in Arlen, Texas we love Bill Golden and that beard. God Bless Texas.. God Bless America.. and God Bless The Dallas Cowboys !! RIP Tom Landry.

      @@MrHenry1876 Now I'll tell ya what Mr. Henry... we definitely believe in social distancing and wearing our mask. Me, Peggy, Bobby, Lou Ann and Lucky, wear our Dallas Cowboys mask's anytime that we go into public. I've told Bobby, to be careful around Minn, that little Chinese girl next door that he hangs out with. Jiminy Crickets... Ain't no tellin' what her Daddy Kahn might put her up to...That China Flu ain't no joke. Me and Bobby went to the Mega-Lo Mart just today and he didn't want to wear his mask. I tell you what... that boy can be hard headed sometimes. Anyway, I'm glad that you enjoy Brother Bill Golden's music. He's one of the Hill family's favorites too. Yes Sir .. Trump 2020 all the way. We've got to keep America great!

      I’d rather just another four years of the Catholic man with the Hebrew surname of Biden because to get Trump re-elected is like trying to re-elect Herbert Hoover!

      America might have to wait in line to become great again. Meaning, we’ll just have to hold out until November 2028 when we write-in the name of Rocky Adkins of Kentucky for the White House.
      Afterall, he’s a decent man for a Dixiecrat, and he would sooner see Trump in solitary confinement in the federal penitentiary in Leavenworth, Kansas, alongside of Putin.

    Bill Golden.. The Pride of Brewton, Alabama. This Song should have been a number 1 Country hit. What a great Video. The Video was filmed in, and around Brewton and Dixonville, Alabama. I remember when the crew came to Town and filmed it. Great Memories. Thanks Kyle Boreing for sharing.

    William Lee did NOT beg the Oaks to take him back. He was asked to rejoin when the Oaks let Steve Sanders, his replacement, go. Steve had some serious problems at home and otherwise and committed suicide not long after. I lived in Nashville for about 3 years playing music and I have been to William Lee's house. He did not live in a teepee but had one on his property that he would use for native American ceremonies. Trust me. He didn't need the Oaks. They needed him. Of the four, he had been there the longest and wasn't hurting for money.

      It is my understanding that William Lee and Joe ran up on each other in the grocery store and decided to talk. The ORB needed William Lee. If it ain't broke don't fix it. Everybody got their heart right and thank goodness. I want a job in that grocery store.
