- Founding member and infamous guitarist of the rock band Black Oak Arkansas, Rickie Lee Reynolds, passed away Sunday Sept 5, 2021 at the age of 72. RIP Rickie. Black Oak Arkansas achieved great success in the ’60s and ’70s with three gold-certified albums. The band was best known for the raspy voice, long hair, and wild, sexually-explicit stage antics of their frontman Jim "Dandy" Mangrum and often coupled with the incredible vocals of Ruby Starr. Ruby had quite the stage presence of her own with her sexy dancing and beautiful long curly red hair. Combine these 2 with a great band and the awesome guitar works of Rickie Lee Reynolds, Black Oak Arkansas was a force to be reckoned with and a concert favorite. Here is a great live performance of one of their big hits.
