RAY STEVENS - COMEDY VIDEO CLASSICS (VHS, 1992) - in great condition
Ray Stevens is a great singer and he's a wonderful pianist of all types of music. This home video is hilarious and it closes with
the serious "Everything Is Beautiful". Four of the eight music videos were made prior to 1992: "Sittin' Up With the Dead" and
"Help Me Make It Through The Night" were released in 1990 and "Santa Claus is Watching You" goes back to 1985 (his very
first music video release). "Surfin' U.S.S.R." was Ray's second attempt at a music video in 1988. The remaining four music
videos are first runs: "The Streak", "Everything Is Beautiful", "It's Me Again, Margaret", and "Mississippi Squirrel Revival".The
most elaborate video is 1988's "Surfin' USSR". Ray added the opening sequence, which isn't part of the 1988 recording,
involving a meeting between Reagan and Gorbechev, both voiced by Ray. In the background the two wives get in a fistfight!
Buddy Kalb, one of Ray's songwriting partners, played the part of the Russian woman chomping on a cigar. The home video
release of COMEDY VIDEO CLASSICS (1992) was #1 for nearly a year and Billboard named it 'VIDEO OF THE YEAR' for 1994.
