No one can sing a comedy song like Ray Stevens. I first heard "Harry The Hairy Ape" in 1963 (?), and was instantly hooked. He also had a great non comedy song in the 70s called "Everything Is Beautiful"

I went to high school with Ray. His name was Ray Ragsdale then. That was in the late 50’s. He was headed for success then. It’s been fun to follow his career.

I remember in the 60’s Ray would come out to Monument Records, sit down at Fred Fosters piano and play and sing all those crazy songs and all the folks at Monument would gather around and listen. Ray has a section of his club CabaRay in Nashville dedicated to my uncle Fred Foster. They were lifelong friends.

I was reading a magazine at the magazine stand by the back isle across from where the dairy cooler was . well here come Ray Stevens pushing a shopping cart and nobody noticed him except for me . as he got closer to the isle I was in I just looked up and the same time Ray looked over at me and in a low tone I say hi Ray . He just gave me a look like was a stocker stocking him or something ? then he just kept walking . I thought ok and went about my buisness reading then left the store . Sorry Ray didnt mean to freak you out . just a fan 😎👍✌🎶🎵

Yes, it's from his former Branson, Missouri theatre. It originally appeared on a 1993 VHS called 'More Ray Stevens Live!'. Ray uploaded all of the performances from that VHS and it's predecessor, 'Ray Stevens Live!', last year during the 20th anniversary of the VHS's original release. He has also uploaded the music videos that have appeared on all of his projects in the 1990s and 2000s due to the original VHS and DVD releases being long out of print. Also, select performances from his 1970 summer TV program have been uploaded onto You Tube. They're all available at his channel.
