About The Record:

Steve Sanders began singing gospel music at the age of 5. By the age of 6, he was the sole support for his family. His father played piano, and "Little Stevie" would sing, mostly at church appearances. Although he lacked formal education — Sanders did not graduate from high school—he was a natural on stage. Upon turning 18, he learned his father had squandered all of his money. Disillusioned and broke, Sanders headed to London, began a band called Pyramid, and was known to jam with the local scene, including Mylon Lefever and 10 Years After. Years later, upon his return to the United States, Sanders made his debut with The Oak Ridge Boys band in 1981 as a rhythm guitarist. When William Lee Golden left, he moved to the front and sang baritone with the group from 1987 to 1995. In that position, Sanders kept the Oak Ridge Boys on the charts by providing the blue-eyed soul on the classics - Gonna Take Alot of River, No Matter How High, Beyond Those Years and Bridges and Walls, the last No. 1 single they had was with Steve Sanders.
