Best known for his novelty songs, country singer and songwriter Ray Stevens (b. Ray Ragsdale) got his start in show business by becoming a DJ for a local radio station at age 15. He had a long string of hits on both the Country (1969-2001) and Pop/Rock charts (1961-1979) that include "Gitarzan" (1969), "Everything Is Beautiful" (1970), and the cheeky "The Streak" (1974).
