NAMES IN THE NEWS : Tenn. Honors Oak Ridge Boys

February 09, 1990| From Times Staff and Wire Service Reports

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Oak Ridge Boys, whose hits include "Thank God For Kids," got a thank-you themselves from the state's lawmakers.

The Legislature passed a resolution Wednesday commending the country music stars for their success and for their charitable work.

The four band members appeared on the House floor to accept the award, and lead singer Joe Bonsall thanked the House members. He said the band loved the state and "always felt like we should give a little back."

The resolution cited the band's two platinum and nine gold albums and praised their service as national spokesmen for the National Committee for Prevention of Child Abuse and the Boy Scouts of America, as well as for the Tennessee Department of Transportation's "Adopt-A-Highway" program.
