wheres the Oak Ridge Boys home town?
cause i used to live in Oak Ridge NC but i was wondering haha if you know id appreciate it!:)
The core group that would eventually lead to the Oak Ridge Boys was a country group called Wally Fowler and the Georgia Clodhoppers, formed in 1943 in Knoxville, Tennessee. They were requested to perform to staff members and their families restricted during World War II at the nuclear research plant at nearby Oak Ridge (the birthplace of the atom bomb). They were asked to sing there so often that eventually they changed their name to the Oak Ridge Quartet.

The Oaks represent a tradition that extends back to World War II. The
original group, based in Knoxville, Tennessee, began performing Country and
Gospel music in nearby Oak Ridge where the atomic bomb was being developed.
They called themselves the Oak Ridge Quartet, and they began regular Grand Ole Opry appearances in the fall of ‘45. In the mid-fifties, they were featured in Time magazine as one of the top drawing Gospel groups in the nation.
