Ray Stevens

 


You hear jungle drums, exotic bird calls and a Tarzan-like yell! An amorous sheik rides in on a camel, a berserk squirrel runs up a church-goer's pant leg and that prank caller is on the line again!

Is this a double-pepperoni pizza dream??? No, it's just Ray Stevens!

Musical funnyman Ray Stevens is an American original who has dominated the novelty record genre like no other...but WAIT!! Stevens is also an extremely talented songwriter, arranger, musician and singer with a Grammy for Pop Male Vocalist for his self-penned standard "EVERYTHING IS BEAUTIFUL" and another Grammy for his creative classic bluegrass arrangement of "MISTY" and numerous other Granny nominations for the gospel song "LOVE LIFTED ME" and many others!

Then just when you think you've got him pigeon-holed...Look out, here he comes again...Boogity, Boogity...Streaking to over five million sales with "THE STREAK".

Ray Stevens grew up in Georgia listening to Lefty Frizzell, Kitty Wells and Eddy Arnold and then discovered Ruth Brown, The Clovers and The Drifters and what resulted is a wonderfully confused musical mind that is sort of like 'Ray Charles Meets Spike Jones'.

Whatever the mystery behind Stevens' unique approach to music happens to be, his enduring popularity and success is no mystery to his fans who voted Ray Stevens "Comedian Of The Year" nine years in a row at the popular TNN/Music City News Awards.

In 1992, Ray Stevens took his outstanding musical talent and wacky sense of the absurd to another level by offering the first ever music video album with his "Ray Stevens Comedy Video Classics". That collection of eight hilarious video productions of songs like "IT'S ME AGAIN MARGARET", "THE MISSISSIPPI SQUIRREL REVIVAL" and "THE STREAK" immediately went to #1 on Billboard's Music Video chart, sold over two million copies (that's 20 times platinum if you're counting), won Billboard's Video Of The Year and stayed on the chart for 115 weeks.

Ray Stevens followed that with a video of his popular stage show titled "Ray Stevens Live" from the theatre he owned in midwest entertainment mecca Branson, Missouri. At last peek, it was still in Billboard's Top Ten after 77 weeks. During Ray Stevens' 17-month stint in Branson, he performed to over 1.6 million enthusiastic fans!

Ray Stevens recently released the ultimate music video...a music video movie titled "Get Serious" that Stevens describes as ten music videos woven together into a story. The videos are all new productions of new material like "THERE AIN'T NOBODY HERE BUT US CHICKENS", popular Steven's near-hits like "THE DOORIGHT FAMILY" and classic Ray Stevens'songs in music video form for the first time like "GITARZAN" and "AHAB THE ARAB". And the story?? Well, a record company wants Ray Stevens to...you guessed it..."GET SERIOUS"! Not very likely, but Stevens is very serious indeed about his songs, his records and videos and his stage shows.

Comedy is not easy, but Ray Stevens makes it look that way. Maybe it's because he has that unique ability to touch our funny bones and our hearts at the same time or because his humor plays as well in a Las Vegas showroom as it does at an all-family fare date.

In a word, you can trust Ray Stevens... Trust him to be original, professional, zany, insightful, exciting and... Trust him to deliver outstanding music and comedy entertainment that the whole family can enjoy.
