Ray Stevens is alive and entertaining folks in Nashville TN stay healthy Ray stevens great song and so true
What a beautiful song I love this! how're you Melissa?
Mr. Stevens. You are the soundtrack of my youth, and you are a national treasure. I pray I get the chance to hug you in person and thank you one day.
One the best of all time Ray Stevens is truly one of the greatest and still cranking out the hits.
Like I said when the greatest of all time
Love this man--he has given his fan so much joy and many laughs. His wife of 60 years died on December 31, 2021, and his only brother John in 2020. However, here he is still going strong--God Bless him.
What a beautiful song I love this! how're you Barbara?
He’s a legend. May God bless him .
Wow his voice is still in REALLY GOOD shape! This is fun to listen to.
One of the few veteran performers who is still with us and seems to be doing well at 81, I remember when the streak was a hit in the seventies,
He IS a treasure.
Yes. And God Bless him and AMERICA!
AMEN❤🤍💙
DON'T LOOK, MA! ROFL
@@traceyreed4885 It was too late.
Its me again Margaret is his best song.
Wow! Finding 1) that Ray Stevens was still _alive_ and 2) that we haven't heard the last of his songs just MADE MY DAY!!!! Love you, Ray!!!
He has never stopped!! He has stayed up with the times and artists to boot!!
J k
Glad to see and hear him!
Still on the right side of grass th-cam.com/video/hEIER1xHyLw/w-d-xo.html
OMG I was like dude, is this THE Ray Stevens? Yay! 👍
"Washin' my hands like a raccoon with OCD." Love ya Ray!
Right lmao
😂 love it!
I was in the floor!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That is my sister BEFORE all this Coronavirus crud started.
OCD? You mean CDO...it's in alphabetical order that way!
Once again, Ray has a way of pointing out lots of little truths with humor and music.
He is just a very talented guy
That so true 👍
Stay safe Ray, the world needs you, At least the country still does.
The world needs Jesus. Ray Stevens cannot save your soul.
He is the male version of Betty White.
@@JohnSmith-uy7sv I agree. But hey, one step at a time. Not everyone is Christian ya know. Start with opening the eyes of the democrats and then they might start getting better and getting morals and then they’ll start noticing Jesus. Might take awhile but u know how stubborn ppl can be but I’ll still be praying for them
This Man Is A National Treasure.
Ray was one of the biggest recording stars back in the day.
It’s good to see he’s still got that great sense of humor.
First song was with his camel clyde
Took the words right out of my mouth, Painter -- a PRICELESS TREASURE.
That shall never die!!!
Yep, and a good voice, still!!
I loved ray as a kid. My parents got a kick out of him. I’m glad he’s still around! We need him during these tough times!
Had his own TV show and picked Steve Martin as his main writer/performer.
That is so true. I grew up listening to his music as well.
HARD WORKER yes ur right!
melanie zirixa right? He’s just as refreshing now amongst all the fake annoying stuff as he was when good music was abound.
I remember & miss the days when Ray would come up with something & real people on radio stations would play it. All the way back to Ahab the Arab.
The people who don't find this good, need a sense of humor. He's just as good as he ever was and has aged well!
"PARDON ME RAY! ARE YOU THE GUY THAT SIGNS THE PARDONS OOOOH OOOH OOOH! SINCE YOU'RE AN OLD FRIEND OF MINE, JUST PUT YOUR NAME ON THE LINE" ( BACKUP SINGERS GO) "PUT IT ON THE LINE") DOUBLE MURDER AND RAPE, THAT'S ALL THE JURY'S GOT ME IN FOR...AND I'M SURE YOU'LL AGREE ..THEY TOOK ADVANTAGE OF MEEEEE" "TAKE A HUNDRED 1000 DOLLARS SLIP IT UNDER THE DOOR DON'T MENTION AND NAMES AD I WON'T SAY WHAT IT'S FOR" DA DA DA DA DA DA YOU'RE NOT THE ONE WHO'S CRYING I GOTTA GET MY MONEYS WORTH FOR WHAT I'M BUYING" YADA YADA YADA...
IT'S HARDER TO FIND THE ORIGINAL RADIO VERSION WHICH BUSTED OUT IN MARCH OR APRIL 1979
*IT HAD A NICE BEAT AND YOU COULD DANCE TO IT*....
*GOV RAY BLANTON TENNESSEE PARDON SCANDAL 1979"....NO LONGER GOVERNOR BTW..
ITA!!! (from a bonafide Liberal) This is good stuff
And he is cute too.😊💙💙🎄
He has for a man thats almost 83
@@mollybamburg7439 Merle Haggard aged well, too well, sad to say Goodbye but really We'll Meet Again, cos God Loves Me and has made a Universe for me to enjoy.
My heart is singing because I know that Mr. Ray Stevens is still singing. He's always brought joy to my life.
This just in - Ray has made a record amount of people in 50 states test positive for a sense of humor again today
You can say that, again!!
🤣😄😂😅🤣
Lets not forget 🇨🇦 and our provinces and territories
@@joethornington6875 Thanks for remembering us here in Canada.
@@crywalkr i am canadian
@@joethornington6875 I figured that. And a proud Canadian too, no doubt. :-)
Thank you all so much for joining us on Memorial Day 2020 to watch this new video!
💞💉🎶💯👍
Will this be appearing on any future project or is it video-only?
God bless you, Mr. Stevens. Stay well and safe.
Ray Stevens has been making me smile for decades and here he is in 2020 and he's still doing. Thank you, Ray. Smiles seem to be in fairly short supply right now so it's nice to have one gifted to us by another crazy Ray Stevens song!
Thank you, Mr. Stevens, for all these years of laughter and helping us get through this. Been listening to "Come on Home to Baseball" for weeks, rather wistfully. :-)
I Have never gotten tired of Ray Stevens songs, they have provided humor in many circumstances over the years and lightened the mood.
I want for a ringtone
@@donaldsmith6304 by
Last year we caught him live at the CabaRay, his own place in Nashville. He is as funny as ever! If you get a chance, go see him. I'm going back! They tell me that some nights he mingles with the crowd at the piano bar. We had other tickets for a late show that night, but next time I plan to spend the whole evening there. Food was good, too.
@@jimmgrimm9665 lucky you
We must have humor, laughter, something to lessen the tension and craziness in our world today. His manner and delivery are just the ticket. Go. RAY!
i don't care what anyone says Ray Stevens is the best
I agree with you
Hear, hear!
A great singer besides being a great story teller.
Amen to this. He has always been tops.
That CAN NEVER change, @Luslie Kruft
This guy at the least, has had a 58 year career doing music like this. His hey day might have been between 1962 to 1974, but he's as good as ever.
I hope and pray that we can hear more of Ray. All of his songs are down to earth. Can give you a wonderful day and laughter. We have lost so many entertainers over the months and years. We're blessed to have you Ray thank you 😊❤
I had to break out my old "The Streak" LP to show my wife and son's the Ray Stevens I grew up with.
LMAO
I had mono and was stuck at home for 2 weeks, but my mom loved the Streak'. And it seemed to be on the radio every hour! So I love it too.
Oh yes....I loved "the streak". Old enough to remember that...lol
I still have the 45
Don't look Ethel!!!!
We all love you Ray Stevens my grandpa introduced me to your music 37 years ago when I was 6 years old he played me that song I'm My own Grandpa and Ahab the Arab...
I love you Ray! I grew up listening to your music and you still make me laugh. It's time to find a squirrel and have a revival.
A squirrel with a mask. I'm willing to bet he would try!!!!! LOLOL
I went to a small church as a little girl and @ Christmas my cousin got a “Creepy Crawler”maker and made all sorts of spiders and bugs. Sister Ida would get filled with The Spirit from time to time and would run up & down the isles of the church screaming and stomping her heels against the floor and waving her handkerchief and get others to shouting along. Well,after we sang one Sunday morning after Sunday School the pastor asked us to bow our heads. My cousin had laid a black “Creepy Crawler”spider on Sister Ida’s purse that was on her lap.As she bowed her head she began to scream and shout.Well other members were already joining in and my great uncle saw the big hairy looking spider which is in the floor by now so he jumps up and starts stomping,well more people start to shout and praise the Lord. Every time he stomped the spider it bounced since it was rubbery which caused him to stomp it again so by now half the church is having a Sunday morning “Come To Jesus “ praise service and my aunt realized about that time what was happening and snatched my cousin up and out of church they went.All the kids are thinking he’s getting the spanking of a lifetime but my aunt was outside bent double laughing so hard she couldn’t spank anybody,so my cousin got away with the whole debacle. It was one of the funniest things that happened in that little church. Every
Every time I think of Ray’s song about the “Mississippi Squirrel “,I think about my cousin’s spider on Sister Ida.
This man is and always will be a legend of comedy music and facts.
So hysterical. Washin' my hands like a raccoon with OCD just slayed me.
THE GREAT RAY STEVENS NEVER CEASES TO ENTERTAIN!!! One of the MOST talented people on the planet!!!!!!!
I have always loved Ray Stevens since I was a child and heard my Daddy singing along with "The Streak". I made sure our kids grew up listening to him also. They are adults now and still love him.
Amen

I just love RAY!!
Was a dj for 14 years; played at least one song of Ray's EVERY single week...you were and still are The Best. Too bad people don't have the good taste in music we once had....Glenn Campbell, BJ Thomas, Roy Clark, Jim Stafford, Jose Feliciano, Elvis, Ray Charles, Petula Clark, Frank Sinatra, Englebert Humperdink, Beach Boys, George Jones, John Denver, Johnny Cash, Eric Clapton, Steppenwolf, Eric Burdon, Tommy James And The Shondells...ANYBODY but CardiB, etc, ad nauseum!
TexaCommtech Petula Clark? WTF is she doing in that list?
TexasCommtech 👍👍👍👍👍👍

@@lancepecchia4773 Ha! As I said, WTF is she doing on the list?
Elvis is bad tho
I started school in 1962. While the other kids were singing the Star Spangled Banner I was singing Ahab the Arab. I have been a fan of Ray's since then and am delighted to see that he is still out there making his great, comic records. Ray Stevens is the greatest novelty recording artist there ever was. Keep it going Ray, we need you.
I needed this so much more than I thought I did. I'm a nightshift Hospice nurse and homeschooling a 14 yo.....I needed this laugh. Thank you, good old Ray!
A hospice nurse has to be the most heart breaking job on the planet. Your a brave lady to be doing a very difficult job. Good luck with your home schooling your teen.
@@oddievandijk4252
Thank you so much. I won't lie.. It's been so difficult to find balance... But this is why I come for the laughs.
@@lilwing6969 Just keep laughing, as the Dr. says, it's natural medicine, so it's good for the soul!
@@oddievandijk4252 I try so hard. Thank you for this.
Why am I getting the lyrics to Dr Dr stuck in my brain? Dr your cure is worse than my disease. Bless You my friend
There is no one like Ray!!!
Ray Stevens is one of the greatest comedians of all time!
That Mississippi squirrel should have been made Attorneys General. At least it knew how to get confessions out of people.
YEAH, and get people to volunteer too. :D
lol
Send a squirrel to your congressMAN or congressWOMAN and be sure to send a big bag or nuts to pelosi otherwise all those squirrels are going to ravage her as she is the biggest nut in DC.
That so funny! Love it...
@@kayjay9383 I am a Democrat and don’t care for her.
Should be number one this year, he is singing ,what we feel.
Ray Stevens has finally given me something to smile about with this COVID mess. Thank you!

Mississippi squirrel, Sitting up w/the dead, Hello Margaret; It me again , The streak, THIS quarantine song, & sooooo MANY more. Thanks Mr. Ray Stevens😁
He had to phone Margaret because of social distancing. That's his story and he's sticking to it!
I wonder how ppl got that.
though Ethel may still see the streak at the store
Brilliant :-)
I LOVE it!
But I love a lot of things nowdays... Finally getting the new roof put on, the lawn manicured, and all the attention I didn't want! 💋
What happened to social distancing when you need it?
OK. I get the Ethel jokes, but who’s Margaret?
You have put a smile on my face for many years. God Bless You.

When turning on a Ray Stevens video you know you will always get a laugh...Ray should have been an actor as well...
Ray is still making new music! How cool is that? What a legend.
Glad to see we have 706 people with no taste of good music! Love me some Ray Stevens, I remember growing up in the 90's listening to him.
Ray, my dad raised me on your music. He tragically passed when I was a little girl and I miss him dearly. He would have loved this one! Good to see you doing well 🙂

Who doesn’t love Ray Stevens!
Hello Sherry, how are you doing today?
Ray, I have ALWAYS loved you! All 67 years of you!
When I was a cocktail waitress in a club, they were singing the Streak, and some guy got naked and thought he would run through the club real fast like The Streak, but all the tables and chairs slowed him up quite a bit.. He looked more like a red faced drunk naked man than the Streak! True story!
: ) It's me again Ray! : )
So glad to see ya taking care of yourself and making us miss you so much!
Counting the minutes to see you and laugh again, thank goodness we have your channel to keep us sane!
We love you Ray!

Ray has been entertaining us and making us laugh for many years. He's brilliant and one of a kind. Thank you, Ray!
All these young folks commenting. As for me, I saw Clyde sportin' a mask. Thank you for making me laugh all these many years.
Ray, just stand firm and keep hangin' in there. As a kid, I never stop watching your hit songs and acts from your home video releases my parents own. To me, you are a national treasure to my childhood and to those who followed your heart warming and hilarious hits.
Only Ray Stevens can take a horrible virus problem and make a beautiful song out of it. Love his music. Long live you Ray, keep those songs a coming people need the laughter.
GOD BLESS THIS MAN! I have listened to him half of my life!
You're a genius Ray. I love all your music. God bless you today.
Mr. Stevens is a national treasure.
My mother's name was Margaret. You can guess her favorite song. Of course she loved you. We lost her to cancer in 2000 after being a 19 year survivor. She fought a good fight for 8 more years when it came back. You never heard her complain or feel sorry for herself. She loved it when someone would say "It's me again Margaret."
Not to long ago, someone mentioned about me losing both of my parents & I told them... Hell, I didn't lose them, I know exactly where they are buried at ! I know my parents got a laugh out of that. Our family kidded around so much, no one ever took us seriously. I've lost both of my parents, two brothers & now, I'm the elder of my family & I'm only 70 yrs old ! I'm so sorry for your loss ! God Bless & keep a smile on your face & God, Jesus, & the Holy Ghost in your heart !
@@cajunsheepdog5025 lost both of mine as well. Its hard to watch them die right in front of you tho.
@@bonzogoTrump My condolences Bonzo & yes, go Trump!
@@bonzogoTrump Our beloved Mama had a excruciating 45 years extremely slow torturous death. Those are the worst deaths to be witness to.

Still the King !
U go Ray happy your still with us my friend 🦅🦅🏝
Had the pleasure of seeing Ray in concert twice at the Great Frederick Fair in Frederick, Md. With the range of his music he could take the crowd from laughing hysterically to almost in tears. The tickets to both of those concerts were birthday presents from my dad, whom I just lost back in April. I'll never forget the great times that we had at those 2 shows.
I remember seeing him perform and meeting him a few years back in Nashville.
I always love to listen to Ray. Puts a bright spot in my day. I would really love to see Ray and Weird Al" Yankovic get together and do some songs. I'm sure that would be a "wild and crazy" thing to hear. Bless you Ray keep up the great work.
Ray Stevens has made me laugh all my life…And yet touched all of our hearts with: Everything Is Beautiful and Misty! Love ‘ya Ray Stevens!
Love you Ray, keep on keeping on! we need you!
Such sweet memories looking over videos of songs of my youth. I bought tickets for Ray Stevens' Show in Nashville on Saturday for my Mom, son and his wife. I will be babysitting and will make the show next time. Thank you for making life better for the rest of us by sharing the laughter. Cheers to you
What a beautiful song I love this! how're you Linda?
I loved Ray when I was a kid. Harry the Hairy Ape, Ahab the Arab, Guitarzan, etc.
This man is still going. My dad's favorite. I love you, dad!! I miss you! 🤗
And Ray scores another great one! Hits the nail right on the head once again. Ray Stevens needs to be declared a National Treasure. Thank you for lifting our spirits, sir, "in these unprecedented times". Love ya Ray Stevens.
Sir you still make me LoL!! You still have the way to get people to laugh and look at things in a humourous way. Bless you!! ❤
I heard this song the week it came out and i came back to listen again in January 2022. Going on two YEARS now, not two weeks. Thanks for a good chuckle, Ray.
GOD BLESS YOU SIR❣️❣️❣️❣️. You’ve brought my parents, my brother and I so much laughter and Joy through the years. Clean jokes are funnier than those with curse words. We have to creat more like you, and our favorite red head comedian to just name a very few.
Again, GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS
Are you talking about LUCY???

When I was a kid, back in the 60's, my new Cuban friend's father had one of your albums with your classic songs. So good! I'd go to her house after school to listen to it, sing and dance my butt off. I loved your music then and still to this day. God bless you, Ray!
Love your songs keep up good work
