The country world is still reeling from the death of the Oak Ridge Boys’ singer Joe Bonsall, who passed away on July 9 following a long battle with ALS. The country legends have paid a tender tribute to their late bandmate with a new music video for “Promised Land,” which was originally featured on the group’s 2021 album, Front Porch Singin’. The touching clip features a series of memories from throughout the celebrated history of the Oak Ridge Boys, who are now made up of Richard Sterban, Duane Allen, William Lee Golden, and the group’s newest member, Ben James.
“‘Promised Land’ is a great example of Joe Bonsall’s ability to capture the message of a great song and communicate that message to the listener,” says Sterban.. “[The video] is so very moving,” James says. “It makes me smile to think that Joe is now with the one he loved to sing about. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again — nobody can get the message of a song across like Joe Bonsall.” (People)
