THE OAK RIDGE QUARTET

Talk about some major changes!  This group seemed to change members about as often as some people change socks.  The old Oak Ridge Quartet was formed in 1958 and consisted of Smitty Gatlin (tenor), Ron Page (baritone), "Little" Willie Wynn (first tenor), Herman Harper (bass), and Tommy Fairchild (piano).  There were other members over the years, including William Golden, Gary McSpadden, Duane Allen, and "Big" Jim Hamill (who was also with the Rebels and the Kingsmen).  The Oak Ridge Quartet was one of the most popular Southern Gospel quartets in its day and still enjoyable to hear.
