Thanks for watching and commenting,good comment, but this is what our country and the whole world needs right now. ua-cam.com/video/1Rdj1BKy1qw/v-deo.html
I woke up with this song in my head this morning and had to hear it. So happy to see the comments on here and how many people feel the way you do. 💚 Everything IS beautiful and it's all God. Sending out love.... always.
You're so right, Elizabeth... it just seems to be getting worse... but some day "righteousness will flow like a mighty stream". It will surely happen...🙏
I was 8 when this song came out this song by Ray Stevens helped this nation heal after the assignation of Dr King and Robert Kennedy it was a message to the country a good one.
NO fear, NO shame!! Don't be ashamed how you look to other people on the outside. Its what inside your heart that REALLY counts!! And that's beautiful!!!
My grandad used to sing this all the time, they played it at his funeral, I miss him so much, but this song always brings back those beautiful memories.
Wonderful song! I wish people would live together in total harmony without any animosity or hatred...the planet would be a much better place to live on.
Still watching and loving your beautiful video.❤️❤️❤️❤️ Still trying to figure out why people are still hell bent on hurting and killing each other, all the animals even our wonderful planet.
I listen to this 5 times. .#Now I have to ground myself before I #Fly Away. #IllFlyAway later.#FlyWithTheDove! #RiseUpInLove to that #Beautiful #DivineFeeling.
This song should be played on the radio everyday but it's not, one reason the world is so full of hate now days. I was a kid when this came out and I loved it then and I still do.
Beautiful song--beautiful video. Today, I woke up with the words in my head saying, "Everything is Beautiful" which brought me to this song. Thank you.
This is one of the many song hits of the 20th century that touches the heart! Its a damn shame this song did not make the top 5 or the top 10 greatest songs of all time! At 2:13, "We shouldn't care about the length of his (or her hair, or the color of his (or her) skin. We must not worry about what shows from with-out, but the Love that lives with-in"!! Think about that. Peace to all!!
Beloved Ray, God sent you into the world to do a million things, and to Bless The World With Love, Through Music. The world is needing you now more than ever yes, NOW!!!
I've always loved this song since I first heard it when it was a little girl and in 58 yrs. young today . I love the lyrics the way Ray Stevens sings it and the pics. Especially the way way he starts it with 🎤Jesus loves the little Children..🎶 Bottom line , Its a beautiful song all in all. Good Bless you Ray Stevens📀💝
Not only a beautiful song, but also a beautiful video! I would say it gave me goose bumps, but it has nothing to do with any geese. They were GLORY bumps!
Thanks for posting. Going through billboard top 10 from 1970 reminiscing yesteryear. I was 7 when this sound was released. Friend of mine next door raided her older brothers 45's that summer and cranked out the tunes all summer their back yard screened in porch. This was one of my favs along with Edison Lighthouse, Vanity Fair, Ocean among many other classics. Ray could write following the keep it simple philosophy and it worked.
🥀Beautiful Song Brilliant lyrics, vocals and music with meaning of unconditional love within and Ray Stevens has so much love for everyone I should know because yrs ago he and my Dad were friends in the music industry. I love this song and this Man. God Bless you Ray Tommy Heddens baby girl🥀✌🥀☝️
Ray Stevens is beautiful A gifted musical genius who's music will be loved a hundred years from now! He put glory in his performances! I love him more than words can say L.Russell Brown
My favorite Ray Stevens all time song. Brings back sad memories of my dad's passing October 17,1969 just before song released following year. It also brings back wonderful memories of my best friend in life he opened his heart to me and made me his best friend late 1969-1974 when he joined the Marines. It was the last time I saw my best friend in life and the only letter from the marines I recieved from him Donald Tivis Horger of then Hampton Va. This song brings back memories when life was sweet, I was 15 years old and I had a friend who was the essence of what the song says. A friend only people could hope to have. Last I heard he had committed suicide at only 39 years old. A call my mother made to inform me of the bad news. Donald was special to me and my mother saw something special in him. We both went to junior high school together and we both help to get through some rough times in that period. This song says what life meant to me in 1970 and how blessed I was to have a wonderful friend and that we both appreciated our time together in those special years. Everyone is gone now but I have my memories of what was and what will be in the after life of God's Love and promise. Rest in peace Donald who was biried in Maricopa County, Phoenix,Arizona. I miss my friend and brother in Christ. Will see each other again soon. My best to his wife son and daughter. Hope you found hapinness in life but don't forget Donald, visit his grave and for me, he knew me by the name Wilson, mention his friend from Hampton Va. says my thoughts and prayers are with him daily and memories and the love and appreciation I had for him, that time can't and won't erase. He left his markand made my life a much better place. As the song says everyone is beautiful in their own way!
I loved this song went it came out and i still love it today . It's so sad to see how bad the world is getting , and how the good old America is going down hill .
How did we go in just 50 years from this (and we really believed it then) to where we are now? God have mercy on us.
You said what I feel... so extremely sad... only the Lord can help us now! 😭🙏🏼
I know exactly what you mean. I get emotional when I hear this song now. We as a country, have lost so much. 😔
Amen, brother! 😞🙏
You can say that again.
The 70's were great.
God bless us all
Nice... Brought tears to this Marine raised Christian's eyes.
This song should be sung in every corner of world today
Thank you our Country needs this now!
Thanks for watching and commenting,good comment, but this is what our country and the whole world needs right now.

My grandad used to sing this all the time, they played it at his funeral, I miss him so much, but this song always brings back those beautiful memories.
Ray could make us laugh with 'Bridget The Midget' and 'The Streak' and could also touch our souls with excellent stuff like this. What a talent!
Totaly agree with you my friend
This song has always been a favorite of mine, ever since I first heard it in the summer of 1970.
Bring this Song back into the mainstream now Pse. Needs to be heard...Again

So beautiful AND instructive. Believe it people, it is not an antidote but it is a good lesson to live by
Ah, the original version! There are several re-makes scudding about on here and although they are close, they don't quite hit the spot.
Love this song and the words ring so true - wish everyone felt this way.
Thank you for posting. I love the words and music of this song.
My Grandfather RIP loved Ray Stevens. I was blessed to grow up a millennial who listened to ray Stevens.
