Joseph Sloan Bonsall Jr. (born May 18, 1948) is an American singer who is the tenor vocalist of the country/gospel vocal quartet The Oak Ridge Boys since October 1973.[1] He is also an author. Besides charting numerous hits as a member of the Oak Ridge Boys, Bonsall has a solo chart credit alongside the band Sawyer Brown in their 1986 single "Out Goin' Cattin'", on which he was credited as "Cat Joe Bonsall".

In 1997, Bonsall released a four-part children's book series titled The Molly Books[2] and in 2003 published GI Joe and Lillie,[3] a book about his parents' lives during and after World War II.

He was born in 1948 to Joseph Sloan Bonsall Sr. (1925–2001), and Lillie Maude Collins (1924–2001). Both are buried at Arlington National Cemetery. His younger sister Nancy Marie was born on August 24, 1953.

Bonsall was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2015 as a member of the Oak Ridge Boys.

As of September 2023, the Oak Ridge Boys have been on their "American Made Farewell Tour". On January 3, 2024, Bonsall released a statement announcing his retirement from touring with the Oak Ridge Boys, citing a neuromuscular disorder as the reason. For the rest of the tour, Bonsall has been replaced by Ben James; however, Bonsall is still a member of the group and will be recording another album with them in 2024.[4]
