I'll tell you, Reva is a horrible accompanist, but she has some major chops and can really play. She never seems to use sheet music either, is she just improvising her own accompaniments? And she never seems to use any pedal either! A legend!
Honestly, George isn't that bad a singer. I think the main problem is that Reva is blazing through each song and not giving the poor guy any leeway. And yes, his hat is awesome. :)
This was the timeframe she was into sniffing Peruvian boogersugar. When she ended up on horse, it was a complete 180, dragging tempo all the time and playing in minor keys constantly.
He seems like a very nice man and singing his songs very nicely as well. I don’t know why people constantly criticize individuals when they themselves are certainly flawed and more than rude . I say, Great job , dear Sir 😃🎶🎵🎶!!!!😄
He's right at the start that he's doing a Jolson impression. That's why he sounds like that. His showmanship has a lot to be desired, but he does sound a bit like Jolson.
@@taids made that comment 8 years ago! LOL! Actually he isn't that bad when compared to the real Al Jolson! It works! Wonder if he is still alive? Probably a wonderful man! And I mean that...
But they'll live forever. Reva Unsicker died in 1995 and George Stanton died in 2013. John Daker is still alive, and there are videos of him watching his performance on TH-cam. He's an adorable human.
At least he didn't drop down on one knee to sing "Mammy", the microphone wouldn't pick it up. I guess his next song was not "Step By Step" by New Kids On The Block. Next up: "Hello, my name is John Daker."
Somewhere in the afterlife Irving Berlin, Al Jolson, and Billy Rose are sitting around jabbing ice picks in their ears while pleading for this to stop.
Sorry to say it so bluntly, but it's true what they say, some people got it, and some people ain't got it. This guy could practice eight hours a day, he'll never be a John Daker.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure I'd leave my boyfriend, too, if George Stanton came a long. I'm fairly certain its the hat, but who can say, really, where George's sexual energy radiates from?
Something that seems to stand out about Reva Unsicker's playing is that she's not playing to accompany a singer, she's playing to show off her piano skills without any regard for the singer. I played bass and acoustic guitar in two different bands, and one thing none of us ever did... and were told not to do... was to play the melody of the song that the singer was actually singing because it drowns out or overpowers the singer, and it prevents the singer from having any leeway to do anything different than the melody that's being played without clashing with it, and Reva is always playing the melody. So these people, including the legendary John Daker, could've had great performances if Reva would've played to accompany the singer as the main focus rather than forcefully upstaging the singer with music that included a melody that no singer can keep up with.
Dude is pretty great... But Reva is a Sadist. She's driving those songs a bit too fast... Purposely, I'd say. Makes this fella sound like Kissel from the Jerky Boys.
The gloves and hat is a great touch.. But Reva waits for no man
Pretty good, but he's no John Daker.
I imagine his confidence was sky high following Jon Daker
The snow miser called. He wants his hat back.
LOL!
"You're good kid but ...my name is John Daker..." - John Daker, probably.
I'll tell you, Reva is a horrible accompanist, but she has some major chops and can really play. She never seems to use sheet music either, is she just improvising her own accompaniments? And she never seems to use any pedal either! A legend!
shes on the piss thats why
She was trained in the saloon
She made 55 years teaching on that town I goddamn hope she'd be good
@@stefs7141It was a nice *bwaaag* time for her
This is the pride of First United Methodist Church. A true talent.
But it's more like "F.U.,M.C"
Honestly, George isn't that bad a singer. I think the main problem is that Reva is blazing through each song and not giving the poor guy any leeway.
And yes, his hat is awesome. :)
Atts notta hat. Itsa Easter Bonnet!
This was the timeframe she was into sniffing Peruvian boogersugar.
When she ended up on horse, it was a complete 180, dragging tempo all the time and playing in minor keys constantly.
0:39 "The photographers will slap us, and you'll fuck a jar in the Port of Graffar...." I miss the version with the subtitles.
1:00 “Reva picking up tempo. George is ready for anything!”
I've been SCOURING for the subtitled version!! I'm so sad it's gone now!
th-cam.com/video/j70TFJBSbZw/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for that, now I can't un-hear it... 🤔
@@TripleThreatCommaThe He put it on private unfortunately. I cant find it anywhere
Bob Spencer, Michelle, Casey and I all go to First United Methodist Church, okay?
@Dan Finnegan
Yes... But apparently Reva does it after a few nips off the bottle.🤣
lol
John Daker blew it, but George Stanton absolutely KILLED it!!
MY MAH UH-HAMMY!!
I concur
By far the best performance of the night.
blessings to the person who found and shared these special treasures with us...
these clips
and my ancient cat
give me the will to live another day
I keep waiting for him to say "On the dubba dubba dubba-ya Beee!"
The lack of expression on his face says it all and that says “put me back in the ground where you dug me up from!!”
100 xs better than anything on tv
The choreography in this is just fantastic
@Evan Pitchers
Yes... They must have rehearsed for seconds upon seconds to get these shows as tight as they were!😁
The only fast thing about Reva is her piano playing. Poor George.
George is a ball of fire!!!
Reva tickling’ those ivories like a master of the craft!
No ballad can’t be improved by doubling the tempo.
Back when we were classy and had a Easter Parade
George went on to voice the WB frog.
Reva has managed to incorporate Lars Ulrich’s sense of timing into her piano chops. Amazing.
He seems like a very nice man and singing his songs very nicely as well.
I don’t know why people constantly criticize individuals when they themselves are certainly flawed and more than rude .
I say, Great job , dear Sir 😃🎶🎵🎶!!!!😄
" I know where the sun shines best" lol he doesn't move at all at first
George and Daker needed a duet, that would have been a show to see!
He's right at the start that he's doing a Jolson impression. That's why he sounds like that. His showmanship has a lot to be desired, but he does sound a bit like Jolson.
"The pho-tog-raphers... will slap us..." The paparazzi were tough even then.
1:51 Talk about a bad key...OUCH!...LOL!
He reminds me of someone who would be an old Vaudeville entertainer.😁
I wondered what happened to Lynn Sheldon from channel 43 in Cleveland...you know, Barnaby!
These Revafests are what John Waters would have referred to as "good bad taste."
Alright who put the hat on him?! LOL Was that you Clyde? Genius!
Those effing white gloves though! Ahaha
@@taids made that comment 8 years ago! LOL! Actually he isn't that bad when compared to the real Al Jolson! It works! Wonder if he is still alive? Probably a wonderful man! And I mean that...
he does have a voice...but the moves are classic...adorable
Watching these make me sad, knowing that all of these quirky old people are probably dead now :(
I don’t think John faker is
But they'll live forever.
Reva Unsicker died in 1995 and George Stanton died in 2013. John Daker is still alive, and there are videos of him watching his performance on TH-cam. He's an adorable human.
Jon just passed away.
@@ZachGood You’re telling me this guy made it to 2013???
At least he didn't drop down on one knee to sing "Mammy", the microphone wouldn't pick it up. I guess his next song was not "Step By Step" by New Kids On The Block.
Next up: "Hello, my name is John Daker."
George nerds to step it up and forget half his words, then he's Daker level.
I love this so much :)
Never watch this when eating LOL I'm choking on my food.
I love the info. LOL.
Aside from the lols, he's not bad!
Wow, he’s a natural born singer!
There was a hilarious version of this one with subtitles too! It’s gone! Where did it go! I used to cry laughing to it!
With that hat....I could rule the world! Oh, and the gloves too.
*YOU'RE GOING TO HOLLYWOOD, DOG!*
I’m George Stanton and I’ll sing ya the Jolson song.
he back handed me and stole my girlfriend! george stanton you are one smooth bastard!
If only George had put on black face, it would’ve been the best Methodist minstrel show ever…
if only this guy had a voice like daker. he has the fucking looks...hat, white gloves...oh man.
oh come on, he's good even with that scarry hat !!
ULTIMATE GEORGE!
The photographers will slap us? Maybe it's the hat.
pretty good - but nothing beats the great daker!
Have another drink, George.
He must be facing south
0:34 Yabadabadoo!...a-Glavadoo.... The pataga post for snipers, and you'll fuck a jar and a porter therefore.
lol !
Lazy Masquerade Ello lazy, disnt expect to see one of my fave youtubers here lol. How big were you six years ago lol
I read this JUST AS he sand that line and I totally came apart at work, everyone looking at me. Thanks….😂
@@royalorphanmetal I did too OMFG
Where are the JazzHands???
The white gloves do it for me.
Buster Keaton cosplay
I think this is Andy Capp....
2023 still watching this
1:48 until the end is the best part~
Anyone know what happened to the subtitled version?!
George might be just fine if she had a damn metronome or something.
Daker could learn a thing or two from George.
MAMMY!
Not John Daker. Nothing else needs to be said!
Bob Spencer is hung like a Komodo dragon
thats a scary fuckn hat
He says I'ma comin' at 2:19
white gloves. nice touch.
He's no John Daker.
HAHAAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
"George Stanton Has A Scary Hat"
greatest ever...
EasTAR parade!
With a shirt like that what do the drawers look like?
this is so fuckin funny
Good Ga-fief! Who are these people? And get a load of the pianist. She seems to only know one tempo - wired.
Somewhere in the afterlife Irving Berlin, Al Jolson, and Billy Rose are sitting around jabbing ice picks in their ears while pleading for this to stop.
George Stanton Has A Scary Hat
He sounds sooooo drunk! Lol
This man is no John Daker! D:<
Daker was the maaaan!
Nice gloves.
Sorry to say it so bluntly, but it's true what they say, some people got it, and some people ain't got it. This guy could practice eight hours a day, he'll never be a John Daker.
@GeneralOlde AGREE. I blame Reva for this.
made my day xD
I think his bonnet is broken.
@swirlyhorse best ever
@sbv7 must have something to do with Ben Roethlisberger...
Yeah, I'm pretty sure I'd leave my boyfriend, too, if George Stanton came a long. I'm fairly certain its the hat, but who can say, really, where George's sexual energy radiates from?
Piano at 1:52 and 2:35! Hahaha! Wrong notes, subliminal messages, or aliens!

@Chitarra 10
Yes, exactly.
And she was also racing them... I wonder if it was on purpose?
His dies for a second at 0:19
He's been wearing that hat since the Civil War.
My moms friend hooked up with daker
on a serious note---anyone talking about Jolson being a racist is CLUELESS
or very very young
19917 people wear ruffled dickies under their jackets.
When is that?
His upper palette is too big for his mouth...but can't he do a great Jolson?
"Back yard" lol 1:43
at 2:19 thats pretty good ...
"my..g-d damnit"
Dude is pretty great... But Reva is a Sadist.
She's driving those songs a bit too fast... Purposely, I'd say.
Makes this fella sound like Kissel from the Jerky Boys.
He did "Mammie." Somebody needs to have a serious talk with the event planning committee at the Firsh Unay Methduss Church.
