I STILL shed a few tears 😢 when i hear this MAGNIFICENTLY done song about the birth of the LORD JESUS CHRIST!!!!!!!!!! 😲 IT'S done VERY REVERENTLY and with a touch of comic timing!!!!!!!!! 💘 it❤❤❤😊☺ 😊 🎄
This is the first time I've heard this, & I love it! I grew up listening to Ray Stevens' music, & it always made me smile. Thank you Mr. Stevens for the musical magic you make.
I got hooked on this sweet song last Christmas and I'm back again for some more listening. This is such an adorable song and Ray is an absolute national treasure!
I've been watching some of his first stage performances lately. Its hard to believe this is the same guy I had such a crush on when I was 16. But its nice to know he went from a cuit kid to a good looking old man. I still have a crush on the old fella. God bless you Ray.
We saw him in August. We took a chartered bus the first part of December. He has a good, funny show. Yes, he sings well. Plays piano. His show is worth going to see. Fabulous band and backup singers. Our food was good both times. 🎄
I have adored him since Ahab the Arab...I'm now 69 and adore him still. I wish I was Mrs. Stevens...........I'd love to be his 80th birthday present this Jan 2019.
Yes! MARY AND JOSEPH AND THE BABY JESUS!! JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON. PRAISE BE TO JESUS. THANK YOU JESUS FOR MY SALVATION. THE BEST GIFT EVER. MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE ✝ ✝ ✝🎄🎄🎄
He's an OLD man. And look at that face. Good looking. And so honest. Still with a touch of kid like innocents. That's what a clean man looks like. Clean from the inside out.
@@patriciaschuster1371I'm 71 years old and he's 13 years older than me. He was a grown man when I was still a teenager and heard him for the first time.
WoW!!! This is a great song and fun video. I have always loved Ray Stevens. My dad and I would listen and sing along and laugh for miles and miles to his songs as we traveled across country moving furniture for Allied Van Lines. Dad passed away this September and I will always cherish the times we had singing Ray's songs. Ray, thank you for some of the best memories I have of my dad with your music.
Thank you. He's in a much better place. People say "He lost his battle with cancer." I say he WON the battle. All cancer wants to do is tear you apart and make you suffer. The Lord too him home so he didn't have to suffer anymore.
An Italian story tells the story of the Cat at the manger. All the animals made such a racket Mary could not get her baby to sleep. The cat [evidently on mouse duty] lay on the manger close to the baby and purred, soothing him to sleep. Mary was so grateful she marked the tabby with an' M ' on her forehead. Now all tabby cats have an M on their foreheads in rememberence of a grateful Mother Mary.
2017 is going to mark Ray's 60th year as a recording artist. He made his first recordings for a subsidiary of Capitol Records, a label called Prep, in 1957 in his late teens. His first-ever recording, "Silver Bracelet", arrived in 1957 and from there he recorded for Capitol (1958), NRC (1959-1961), Mercury (1961-1965), Monument (1966-1969), Barnaby (1970-1975), Warner Brothers (1976-1979), RCA (1980-1982), Mercury (1983), MCA (1984-1989), Curb/Capitol (1990-1992), Curb (1993-1996), MCA (1997-1998), recorded music for his own label, Clyde (1999-2000), and lastly, Curb (2001-2002). Since then he's recorded and released music through his own record labels (Clyde Records, Player Records, and most recently CabaRay Entertainment Records). Notable exceptions being a couple of gospel CD's (one in 2014 and another earlier this year) released on labels owned by Bill Gaither.
@@ACcountryFan : Thank you so much for sharing your Ray Steven's info for all of us to enjoy!! Merry Christmas!! to you and yours! God Bless America!!! God Bless President Trump!!!
Omgoogness lol 😂 I'm sooooo happy I found this. I've never heard it before. I love this man. I remember seeing him many years ago in Branson when I was a kid. Sweet memories. Anybody here in December 2018 looking for Christmas music to make you smile? If so I wish you a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!! 🎄
Awesome Mr. Ray Stevens! you are one of the most talented men in the music industry and I love all of your music!! God bless you always. Lisa Fitch, a fan for life!!
We went to Skagway and there was a Memorial for the 1000s of Pack animals that died on the Yukon Trail In Washington DC , theres a War Dogs Memorial and on Ground Zero of the 9/11Rescue Dogs Theres a WWI Memorial for all the horses that died in the conflict .. This is Right up there as wonderful tribute to this little Donky that carried the world on his shoulders
Should have known if anybody could have come up with a song like this and make it work so well, it would be the GREAT RAY STEVENS. Thank you for all the hard work you do to put the videos ( all of them) out for the world to enjoy. Thank you VERY much for sharing
Of course, the Great Ray Stevens - not his real name -, could pull it off. He can't sing about booze and prisoners for that you need someone like Jhonny Cash - Ray's words not mine -.
Mr. Stevens,you are just too silly for words!! Never quite heard the Christmas story like this. Thanks for your talent,humor,& good natured fun attitude. God blessed you with a wonderful talent...thanks for sharing.

Beautiful! Christ works in miraculous ways to touch the hearts of men. This is a prime example of that.😊💞
