Kennedy went to Paducah, Kentucky to play a few gigs with Brenda Lee, then one-nighters with Little Richard, Fats Domino, Jerry Lee Lewis, Wilson Pickett, and many others. Encouraged by friend Otis Redding, Kennedy shifted his focus back to singing and moved to New York in 1963. He was signed by Ahmet Ertegun to Atlantic Records,.
He was featured on the soundtrack to the Brian DePalma cult sensation Phantom of the Paradise. Kennedy sang "Life at Last". In the movie, the song was lip-synched by Gerrit Graham as the character Beef, who performed the song as a Frankenstein-type transvestite constructed by the members of The Undeads while they themselves performed "Somebody Super Like You (the Beef Construction song)". .

In 1965 Kennedy recorded his first single as vocalist with then-unknown Kenny Gamble, "Number 5 Gemini" on Guyden Records. That year Kennedy also auditioned for and received a gig playing tenor sax with Gerry Mulligan, one of the top baritone jazz saxophonists in the world. That led to Kennedy leaving his home in New Jersey, playing various jazz clubs and making his way south. .
You were so lucky to see all these great bands, I saw MSG with Gary but his voice was real bad ! :(, before they came to Japan finishing the tour with Ray Kennedy, ( RIP )
Kennedy spent the next several decades writing, recording and touring with and for musicians including Sly and the Family Stone, Brian Wilson, Dave Mason, Jeff Beck, Barry Goldberg, Maurice White, Aerosmith, Michael Schenker, Engelbert Humperdinck, Wayne Newton, Tanya Tucker, Bill Champlin, Willie Nelson, Mick Fleetwood and many others.

Johnson, Buddy Rich and the Gene Krupa Jazz Group, until he decided in 1962 that the lifestyle of a jazz musician was simply not for him.
Kennedy's first solo album, "Raymond Louis Kennedy", was released in 1970. That year he befriended Dave Mason of Traffic, and toured with him in support of Mason's solo album, "Alone Together," also collaborating on a song "Seasons" that ended up on a future Mason solo album, "Let It Flow." During this period, Kennedy also co-wrote the Beach Boys hit, "Sail On, Sailor".
There were no singers to finish up the Built to Destroy Japan Tour, Gary Barden had vocal cords shut & so Ray came in to save the day! BIO of Ray Kennedy : Kennedy began playing saxophone at age nine; he sang in a cappella groups in New Jersey and Philadelphia before becoming a dancing regular on American Bandstand in 1960. Dick Clark eventually offered to pay him to pantomime playing saxophone with groups such as The Platters, The Drifters, Chubby Checker, Little Richard, and many more. .
thank you for all these video and this information..i adore Gary Barden..my favorite song is "Lost Horizons" ..but this here this singer is phenomenal ..his movements and singing is pure magic ..for his singing i really go off on the song "i gonna make you mine" ..absolut well on the point ..it is like Richie Falcon Faulkner came in for KK Downing in Judas Priest ..one can not say this one is better thn the other one ..it is like it is ..each one of them are absolutly highest frequency !! ..and i love to get "entertained" by them ..i am happy that this exists !! my absolut favorites is the concert Super Rock in Japan 84 (pitty someone ruined the audio) and 81 Rockpalast and of course soe other videos of Michael Schenker ..whom i got recommended by Richie Falcon Faulkner ..
even for 1984 not sure how they let Ray hit the stage dressed and un-dressed like that. great Schenker era here I'm guessing he was brought in to replace Bonnet for the AA tour...not sure.
Это уж бесспорно. В небольшом, не таком уж и красивом, голосе Могга какие- то невероятные интонации, краски, чувства,, что песни , которые он спел, ни у кого уже не звучат лучше .
これ大阪で見たけどこの時のロックボトム最高だった。絶対聴きたい。トラック無いのかなぁ
ロックボトム演ってたんですね。このビデオがきっかけでエレキギターを始めた者です。うらやましい限りなき、いや、うらやましい限りです。😅💧
ブートでDVD
売ってるよググってみたら?
西武球場行きました
レイさん急遽来日させられ歌詞を見ながら歌っている事等が色々言われてました。でも依頼を受けてマイケル・シェンカーグループの来日公演を成立させて頂き感謝でした
レイさんはハードロックシンガーではないのに本当に頑張っていた印象に残ったパフォーマンスでした
band of brothers Scorpions with Michael Schenker group 🤘🤘🤘
I saw Schenker about a year after this in a small club in Oakland. By then it was McCauley Schenker Group. I was like 5 feet from them.
いや、3年後でしょう。それまでマイケルは活動休止してました。(T_T)
*-GOD BLESS YOU ALL U.F.O FANS,ROCK NOT DIE,ROCK FOREVER🇨🇴😎🤟.*
I love the marshall stacks and the cranking guitar solos, got to have some of that stompy riffage 🎸✌️🇦🇺😊
Who’s this lead singer ?
@@user-kt5jf1st3x what does that mean ?

アンビィル、ボンジョビ(初来日)、スコーピオンズ(全盛期)、ホワイトスネイク(タイコはコージーパウエル)、MSG。 現場に居たけど夢の世界だったな。

For me, this song can only be sung by Phil.
Yeap !!
Let tell you, you are right, and this one, has such energy. Greetings from Argentina South America 🤘🇦🇷
Indeed!
Gary Barden does it well also🎸
I dont know this kid,but to my ears he's doin a good job
There were no singers to finish up the Built to Destroy Japan Tour, Gary Barden had vocal cords shut & so Ray came in to save the day!

Madre mia que nivel!!!!!!!
Уровень Скорпионс не больше.
Оригинал послушай
行きたかった所沢球場・・・
交通費もチケット代もなかった少年時代
This Kennedy dude makes the guys in Steel Panther look like hippies. This was ridiculous dress ever for the 80's!
He's awful...looks like Gary F*cking Glitter
Lol. Great comment.
nope that was normal for the 80's
You're very welcome!
Only in my personal opinion ..... this time, this song was played on stage a bit too fast, loosing the RIGHT PULSE of it !!!! Sorry Gregory !!
I agree plus this lead singer changing the words is a bit much !!
@@davidday8417 That's right - thank you bro !!
Exelent musician's
カッケー!🎉
MSG - DOCTOR, DOCTOR
even for 1984 not sure how they let Ray hit the stage dressed and un-dressed like that. great Schenker era here I'm guessing he was brought in to replace Bonnet for the AA tour...not sure.
Looks like he was channeling some early 80's David Lee Roth atire, there....lol
LOL I thought the drummer was Herman Rarebell. Had me really confused for a second.
Is this the camp version 🤣🤣
Guys, go listen to “Doctor Doctor “ by Iron Maiden
yep not bad. paying hommage to their heroes. Still always makes me go back to THE version on UFO's LP strangers in the night.
コメ見るとこれは日本公演なんだ。
これ1984年のビデオでしょうか。違うような気がします
1984年のスーパーロックだと思います。
レイ・ケネディがいたのはこの時だけだしね。
here for Klaus... 😩😩
That was HARDCORE
Кто этот вокалист?
Ray Kennedy
@@nathaliemasson607спасибо! Голос мелодичный.
Klaus Meine is the original ass kicking version of Pauley Shore🥴
What the hell is the singer wearing lol. I know it's the 80s but even then it's still ridiculous looking
This sh*t is straight a*s. Rock solid proof that most fans think "greatest of all time" meams merely playing in key 😂
Ну песни UFO никто лучше Фила Могга не споёт, даже Клаус, несмотря на то, что он действующий рок- голос планеты номер 1!
Не ковер,показуха😢
Вокал так себе.Мне не нравится.Лучше оригинал послушай 🎉
Это уж бесспорно. В небольшом, не таком уж и красивом, голосе Могга какие- то невероятные интонации, краски, чувства,, что песни , которые он спел, ни у кого уже не звучат лучше .
Phil did it better but love Michael's TONE!
