It is likely Noel Fox, one of the best bass singers in my view. He sang
with the Tennesseans from 1959-62 and then with the Harvesters from 1962 to
1964. He retired from gospel music but returned with the Oak Ridge Boys in
1969 until retiring again from gospel in 1972. He was replaced in the Oaks
by current bass Richard Sterban. He died earlier this year at the age of 62
I believe.
