"He lives in the jungle and hangs by his knees as he swings through trees without a trapeze" #55thAnniversary In 1969, the hilarious Ray Stevens single “Gitarzan” reached #8 on the Hot 100 Billboard chart! Even though it was 55 years ago, the song is still a fan favorite which has been passed on to newer generations. This live performance is from "The Ray Stevens Show" in 1970. 🐒🎸 #gitarzan #onthisdate #otd #onthisday #todayinhistory #musichistory #60smusic #1969song #comedymusic #comedysong #

#TossbackTuesday to this video of Ray Stevens performing "I'm Moving On" live on his 1970 "The Ray Stevens Show"! "I'm Moving On" is a 1950 country standard written by Hank Snow which was a number one hit. Several other artists including Ray Charles, Elvis Presley, Don Gibson, and the Rolling Stones also released versions of the song. Ray never recorded it for an album, but there is this live performance. So give it a watch and enjoy! #raystevens #immovingon #hanksnow #tossback #tossbacktuesdays

Today would have been the 91st birthday of one of Ray's all-time favorite musicians, Ray Charles! Ray was born on this day in 1930 and would go on to be one of the most respected and inspirational artists ever. To celebrate, here is Ray Stevens paying homage to Charles by performing "I Got A Woman" (with some "Hi-Heel Sneakers" mixed in) live on his Ray Stevens Show in 1970. #HappyHeavenlyBirthday Ray Charles! #raystevens #igotawoman #raycharles #raycharlessong #liveperformance #raystevensshow #
