Country Music Hall of Fame Member Returns to Curb Records
for Upcoming Milestone Release
Stevens to Release Newly-Recorded 2020 Version of No. 1 Hit Song on October 30
“You know it doesn’t seem possible, but I first recorded this song 50 years ago,” says Stevens. “We’ve come a long way since then and still have a lot of miles left to go, so let’s not fall apart now. Let’s come together and show the world that everything really is… beautiful.”
“Everything Is Beautiful,” written and recorded by Stevens, became a renowned song that won the world over back in 1970. A winner of two GRAMMY® Awards for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance and Best Inspirational Performance, the song captured the mood of a nation with the promotion of equality and individuality. The track spent two weeks at No.1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and three weeks at the top spot on the Billboard AC chart.
Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the iconic song, the 2020 version finds the tune’s timely message as relevant as ever, tapping into the notion that the country must come together in the midst of division.
Two tracks of “Everything Is Beautiful” will be released later this month— a traditional recording as well as a second version that incorporates the patriotic “United We Stand.”
Next Friday, both versions of “Everything Is Beautiful” will be available for digital download here.
Stevens, who has released projects through Curb in years past, is elated to return to the company. “I’m excited to be back on Curb and look forward to having the help of a great team in my corner,” he says. Previous releases from Stevens, via Curb, have sold more than five million units, including the four-time RIAA platinum-selling Comedy Video Classics.
Past Ray Stevens albums released via Curb are available for purchase here.
I’m anxiously awaiting the release of this project!! I hope more and more projects from Ray Stevens are also in the near future.
