![Ray Stevens - "Ahab The Arab" (Music Video) [from Get Serious]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/tYn_6NjcopY/mqdefault.jpg)
I remember hearing this on the radio in my father's car...my father tapping the steering wheel as he drove "this is a good one!"
we sang this on my 8th grade gradation I am 75 years now loved that song
First time I heard this song, it was recorded by Sonny James. Ray Stevens did a fantastic job on this song and made it his own.
I love this song. My father taught it to me as a child. So sad, but lovely.
Love this classic hit song
As old as this song is it still has a message from two lovers.
I remember hearing this song as a little girl
How lovely and poetic
I never thought I would hear this after so many years.
Mr Stevens your music and tactics has gave millions a smile thank you
So much to this eclectic man's career. The country version of Misty; the gospel of Everything Is Beautiful; and of course, the comedy. When I first heard The Streak over forty-five years ago, I laughed and laughed. And I'm still laughing.
I have always loved this song but it has always made me cry when I listen to it, it is so sad.
I believe that Ray Stevens is the very best song writer /singer / entertainer that America and world has ever had . God bless him and pray he will continue to bless us with his music .
Wow....Big statement man...tho ,I think you maybe forgetting a few (Hundred) people!!....Fool!!!
Whoa there Willa......not sure if that statement is as true as you would like it to be :)
@@huwjones1762 Absolutely !!!
Ferlin Huskey song
IFIN HE THINKETH TAYLOR SWIFT STALK HIM?
LMAO
SHE A DECOY, LMAO, IZ STALK HIM LONG.
LMAO ❤😅
I love this song, true love blocked by parents, just like Romeo and Juliet, parents need to let go, true love is wonderful, sad what children do today because of broken love, we had a young man blow his brains out at our town hall, his girlfriend dumped him, a broken heart knows no reality or future
I love Ray Stevens. He is so talented, just an amazing funny man and Serious. Awesome
Beautiful. I am so glad to hear this song.
These sad love songs always make me cry . Poor Running Bear and Little White Dove ;/......
I guess I am old. But remember having this song on my (dare I say it?) 8-track player. I am not native,
this man can sing ANYTHING!!!!
for some reason when i was a kid i loved this song on the original 45. No idea why i liked this song.
Johnny Preston and Ray Stevens both have great versions of this song. I didn't even know Ray did a version of this.
I loved this song at school dances when in Primary school about age 9-10 yrs old. Still like it.
Remember this from my youth. Love it
This song used to make me cry as a young teenager.
Still does and im 67
Absolutely beautiful and very beautifully done!!👏👍🛐✝️🌹❤️💕💓💗🇺🇸🕎🔯🌄🎆
Ray Stevens singing it straight and doing a great job. Who wouldathunkit?
Good way to start 2020 , listen to RAY.
the song is great but the singer is refreshing, why can't there be more artists like this. I remember Ray Stevens whenI was in high school. in the 70's
I was in high school in the 1970's when Ray Stevens came out with The Streak.
Always thought this was one of the sweetest songs.
Me too !!!
These Are So Good Can't help But pass Along. Don't hear Songs like These Hardly Anymore
First heard this from my grandpa's 78. It isn't the original but it make me think of him.
My favourite song as a child .. 🦋
Yep! We need this again 😇🙏🤲
a good song that tells a good story but also sad ! but i love what was done here .
This man puts on one hell of a show, well worth the money
That is absolutely the truth!!! Seen him many years ago, it is unforgettable, it is really that good!!!

Omg this was always my favorite Ray Stevens song as a kid.
Ray stevens never recorded this one until 2009 I think on the box set Encyclopedia of recorded comedy music. He's been one of my all time favorite singers since I was about 4 years old lol
@@JesusNeverChanges you are right - I remembered the song from childhood but it must have been Johnny Prestons version. My parents listened to Ray Stevens when I was young and I loved all his songs. Thanks
Not many remember Ray...
Those horns...flutes.
George Jones I think did this same arrangement with his version
this is a beautiful song about true love and how nothing could kill it ray got it right
This song is nothing special many singers sang before Ray. The montage was great sans the Ray Stevens images it could be a good montage for any version
Some people enjoy Ray Stevens. To them, it just may be special.
Tracy Humes this song has been done a couple of times in country music
Tracy Humes. Hang in there be strong our Lord will come and SAVE us. PEACE

Wonderful song and musical performance !
I love that song
GASP! My mom held poker games for a bunch of us on Friday nights after drum corps practice. I'd sit in the game just so I could hear this song! LOVED IT!
I loved this song the first time I ever heard it. Of course I heard Ricky Nelson singing it. My mom had all of his albums. I was ten years old, so that would have been 1979. As a young girl, this song and story brought their love to my imagination. I love this video though, with all of the pictures.
I may be wrong,but Johnny Preston sang that song,I have a lot of Rickie songs,never saw one of him sanging Running Bear.
Sad, sad day.
Johnny Preston from Port Arthur Texas .
Love hearing these
That is the first record (45 RPM) that I ever got. Sung by Sonny James. I am 71 years old so that had to be around 1960.
Live long and prosper Larry.
Lovely song and wonderful musical performance !
this is true love song. and i love it
I like all of ray Stevens songs my dad got me to liking his music i will be really sad when mr Stevens go to the big house in the sky i hope that i get to see him and my dad and my grandmother and grandfather and dale Earnhardt and Jerry Reed and burt Reynolds and Jackie Gleeson

Running Bear is a beautiful song.
I like all of ray Stevens songs the one that are funny and the songs that make people think about the song
Not a curse word could be sited anywhere! The art work is amazing too!
I remember hearing this song as a kid. Never knew it was Ray Steven's
It wasn't
Another version of Romeo and Juliet. True love.
The Jungle Book in Rio version brought me there because of "Say You, Say Me"!
Brings back memories
Ray Stevens is awesome. With all of his humorous songs out there. This song has always been my favorite (non-humor) songs. I do not know who put this video together. But the pictures are just beautiful also. Thank you for sharing this. I remember having this song on my (dare I say it?) 8-track player in my car. Was always playing it. I also had a lot of Ray Steven songs.
The original was, I believe a #3 hit for Johnny Preston in 1959.
Sonny James also did a version in circa 1970
Don't remember the exact year though.
I just love everything you choose to record , great/.thanks ray.

ray stevens is one heck of a singer and if you don’t believe get up infront of thousand of people and act like he does
Beautiful! 😃👏🏻
Regardless, this is a true story passed down by my Ancestors. It's the explanation of two mountains.
Kinda like Big Spirit Lake here..
Gracie G Carson Doughty I'm Caddo my grandparents had this type of love affair
My Grandparents were Cherokee n Blackfoot and they had a Love that surpassed all and at 50 I have found the one and only man who makes me feel like this and we are Running Bear and White Dove! Myra Eagle Sutton
What a beautiful implication. I know there is more symbolism in Native Legends then our history.
Would love to hear more about this story. Oral history is so easily lost
A CLASSIC
Love this song.
GREAT ENTERTAINER!
È da tempo che non l'ha sentivo più
First straight song I heard from Ray. I appreciate his very funny songs like Ahab the Arab, etc. most.
I love this song, but seriously expected it to be a comedy son, Ray Stevens Style. He is so good about making serious funny. But, he did this song justice. Love him.
Mamma Kaye Lee.... agree at the 100% level....!
Ray can get serious and even respectful when he needs to. Remember that he had a # 1 record with "Everything is Beautiful", which is his biggest song ever.

I haven’t heard this song in over 20 years. We sung it in Primary School
I love that song. But it was so sad. But had a sad, true, but kinda happy ending as well. Now they'll always be together in that happy haunting ground. SO SO SAD.
What's it mesn?..I dont understand
Indeed, Sheila. Such a bittersweet song to hear.
Always loved that song, even now after 4 years since my wife has died, it becomes a rousing one to hear.
@@Butter-go7ih
In a nutshell... this is the gist of it.
Despite all that everyone (both warring tribes) did to keep them apart by fighting one another because of their forbidden love, they ventured through the unknown (the raging waters) in an attempt to reach one of the two banks where peace & tranquility (they hoped) would be their peaceful haven. But, as the song goes, they drowned as they reached the other.
For them, it was better to try and be victorious over the raging waters and be happy with each other than it was to being miserable while apart.
@@Butter-go7ih they couldnt be together cause their people fought
They jumped to be together
I was JUST thinking this! I had it on one of the Goofy Gold albums in the 70s, and I ADORE this song!
I didn't realize it was a Ray Stevens song! Wow.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
I used to listen to this on the jukebox 10 cents , SONNY JAMES.
I remember when 5 cents changed to 3 for a Quarter.
Ray, was so talented and he made the funniest songs an he acted them out like:: ITS ME AGAIN MARGARET:: So funny.
He still is! Still putting out new music
love that sax!
Thank you.
Fantastic. Txs for Sharing 😊.💌
This song was originally
recorded by Johnny Preston with background by George Jones .
And the big bopper
TOO TELL THE TRUTH TRUE LOVE NEVER DIE'S IT GROWS STRONGER OVER TIME
The trick is to know what it is to begin with. It is often not understood until too late..
Tracy Humes...If you jump in a swirling river to meet each other there a good chance that love will die. Love is so overrated.
Your songs aren't supposed to be sad, Ray!
What a beautiful voice I love this song nice memories still listening! how're you?
Love ❤️ you Ray always Angels are with you 😇🙏❤️🌹🥰✊
I'm gonna see him in concert in a few weeks I won 2 free tickets I'm excited lol
@@JesusNeverChanges that’s so awesome 👏 congratulations 🎈🎉🍾🎊 have a blast 💥
A wonderful love story.
Jiles Perry "J.P." Richardson Jr., better known by his stage name The Big Bopper, was an American musician and disc jockey. His best-known compositions include "Chantilly Lace," "Running Bear", and "White Lightning", the latter of which became George Jones' first number-one hit in 1959.😎
Love Ray Stevens
