Lyrics:
Girl I can't let you do this
Let you walk away
Girl how can I live through this
When you're all I wake up for each day
Baby.
You're my soul and my inspiration
You're all I've got to get me by
You're my soul and my inspiration
Without you baby what good am I
Woh, what good am I.
I never had much goin'
But at least I had you
How can you walk out knowin'
I ain't got nothin' left if you do
Baby.
You're my soul and my inspiration
You're all I've got to get me by
You're my soul and my inspiration
Without you baby what good am I
Woh, what good am I.
Baby, I can't make without you
And I'm telling you honey
You're my reason for laughin' for cryin'
For livin' for dyin'.
Baby, please I'm beggin' you baby
I can't make it without you
If you go it'll kill me
I swear it I can't live without you.
You're my soul and my inspiration
You're all I've got to get me by
You're my soul and my inspiration
Without you baby what good am I
Woh, what good am I...

Man, Richard could serve as the voice of God in a church drama play or a movie! Perfect!

[@thewildgoose1979]

Not many realize Richard Sterban was with JD Summner and the Stamps and sang backup with Elvis for a couple years before joining the Oak Ridge Boys.

They had really good luck with Righteous Brothers covers, as their 1979 remake of "Dream On" was also a major hit for them.

Not sure how I've never heard of this version before but I can't stop playing it. I play this at least 20 times in a row. I've always loved hearing the Righteous Brothers do this and now I love this one the most. The bass is just incredible.

[@TonyM132]

There are two blonde Steves from my personal short list of favorite bands of all time who died long before their time due to their life struggles: Steve Sanders of the Oaks, passing on at age 45 in 1998; and Steve Clark of Def Leppard, leaving us at age 30 in 1991. We still miss them both... May they rest in peace.

[@Hydra830]

Re musicians who passed away too soon, there is another among my favorites who left us the same year as Steve Sanders from this video. That is Carl Wilson of the Beach Boys, the second greatest Beach Boy in my opinion after brother Brian, went on to his reward just four months before Steve Sanders, in Feb 1998 at 51 years old. RIP

[@janetnazer4709]

Eddie Rabbitt, a long time friend of the ORB, and others, and some of my favorites, also died the same year as Steve--a month before Steve passed away. Eddie died of lung cancer.

[@TonyM132]

Hello Angelica..

[@74Spirit1]

One of the last songs with Steve Sanders as baritone.

[@TonyM132]

This single was released in 1990, before the movie in 1991. The Oaks made 6 studio albums with Steve Sanders (including Country Christmas Eve in 1995), 3 before this and 3 after. So it was actually almost dead center of the songs made with Steve, not at all one of the last.

I'll say one thing for the Oak- s; they're on the same wavel engh as their contemporarie s, the Statler Brothers. Both groups kept their language clean, stayed away from the cheating & drinking songs, a nd both groups sang an occ asional gospel song.

[@paullarue2010]

Amen! Oak Ridge Boys is a Country-Gospel group.

[@rustyheindselman8879]

[@WillBravoNotEvil]

Have you listened to their albums? Which ones?

[@islandhopper7614]

I'm not trying to be a jerk here, because I love the Oak Ridge Boys, and know pretty much all of their songs by heart. That being said, they did 'plenty' songs about drinking and cheating. The group was also riddled with suicide and drugs (especially for certain members). Doing an "occasional gospel song", was just to keep people like yourself, believing that the group was "wholesome". Apparently, it worked lol. Anyway, the ORB were/are awesome, but the humanity/struggles of the group, was where they often got their sound. Love them for who they are, not what you recreate them to be in your head :)

[@SweetHeartHolly1982]

I love Steve SO much!!! (burying my head) God bless those who have loved him longer than me always!!! Holly in East Tennessee (forever wishing that I had discovered him sooner) P.S. I pray that the rest of his Oak Ridge videos are up here soon!

[@tinaholman956]

The Oakridge Boys did him Wrong!!!!

[@TonyM132]

Not to discount at all Steve's life or the struggles he went through during his time on earth, but I love the idea of a blonde member of the Oak Ridge Boys. If they ever need to add another member, I hope they choose a blonde! Though as old as they are now, anyone else their age will probably have gray hair... Hard to believe this was a full 30 years ago now.

[@bonniewells9208]

It’s great to finally have a good clean clear version of this video on KZbin. Even if it took 3 years for me to find it. Before the only version had horrible picture and sound quality.

@@tomstoffelsen8575 back in the late ‘90s I think it was CMT that did like a biography episode on them, and it was the first time I had ever seen the video for the song.

[@AmericanWoman1]

Richard's speaking part, he should have sounded serious but instead he sounds too much like he's joking. Would have been perfect had he sound like he meant the words, which you should do in a song. Maybe he wasn't in love at this point of his life to feel more for the song. I remember his girlfriend in tne latter 70's.
