    He sounds the same as he first sang it. Great to hear it. My friends and I used his song for a school concert....mimed it of course. We were a real hit with the crowd!! Haven't heard it for a long time. I still have the single.

    On this day in 1966 {July 5th} Ray Stevens performed "Freddie Feelgood (and his Funky Live Five Piece Band)" on the ABC-TV week-day program 'Where The Action Is'...
    Eleven days later on July 16th it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart for a two weeks stay, peaking at #91...
    It reached #22 on the Australian Kent Music Tracks chart...
    Mr. Stevens, born Harold Ray Ragsdale, celebrated his 74th birthday seven months ago on January 24th...

    Certainly discovered his place in life! I have been a big fan since I purchased my first "Ray Stevens" album in 1974. Still have it. Just looked at the vinyl LP label and it indicates the album name was "Boogity Boogity". Featured "The Streak", Freedie Feelgood" and more. Hmmmm, is that a picture of Ray streakin' on the album jacket!?!

    Plays the bass on a cello. This is great.

    • @ACcountryFan
      @ACcountryFan Před 7 lety

      Not to get too in the weeds but technically that's considered a Stand Up Bass...even though it physically resembles the Cello the differences are in the tone/pitch/octaves etc. etc. Also, the Cello is aligned with classical music and is played, historically, while seated and the Cello situated between a person's knees and a bow is used rather than your hands. The Stand Up Bass found in a lot of jazz bands of certain era's is played exactly as Ray's demonstrating in the music video...plucking the strings with your fingers.

    all the instrumental stuff, minus the piano, and drum interludes, were supplied by ray's voice. cool huh?

    • @ACcountryFan
      @ACcountryFan Před 8 lety +5

      Actually the drum is also Ray's voice...he's scat singing...as he does for Freddie Feelgood. The piano is the only thing not vocally mimicked.

    • @ultimatdanklin1473
      @ultimatdanklin1473 Před 3 lety +1

      I'd say this song works a little better as a funky little four piece band. Cause then you can vocally mimic all the instruments. Although, I'm biased because I first heard it as a barbershop quartet.

      All this came from God. Ray Stevens has lived a life that proves one doesn't have to be evil to have fun and get rich at the same time. He's a shinning example of how good guys don't have to finish last. If one works for it first place is an attainable goal. I love this man in the purest of all Godly ways. I know there will be laughter in heaven, because Ray Stevens will be there. I can picture him holding regular Saturday night sock hops on that street of gold with Old Gabe leading the band.

      It's from his album "The Streak". My family used to have it on 8 Track. It also included "Bridget the Midget, Queen of the Blues" and "The Moonlight Special", which was a parody of "The Midnight Special" and even had an emcee called "The Sheepdog", who was a parody of "Wolfman Jack"
