William Lee Golden's "Behind the Beard" autobiography is an amusing, poignant, and brutally honest memoir.

In his own words, William talks about his memories of his childhood and teenage years and how he went from the cotton fields of Alabama to singing on stage with his favorite musical group. You'll read about William's vision of turning a gospel group into one of the biggest acts in country music history. William also shares his wife's one-of-a-kind reaction when she learned he had been unfaithful and the reason he was fired by the Oak Ridge Boys. Find out how he made his "Prodigal Son" return to the Oaks and what the future holds for William Lee and the Oak Ridge Boys. Plus, William answers the questions of when and why he started growing his beard and whether he will ever cut it.

This deluxe, hard-cover book includes over 200 rare, never-before-seen photos from William's collection!
