16. Everything Is Beautiful (Ray Stevens)

Stevens was backed by his two daughters and a second-grade class from Oak Hill Elementary School in Nashville, Tennessee. 

This is a rare hit for Stevens that was not a novelty recording. He was better known for comedy songs like "The Streak," "Ahab, The Arab," and "Harry The Hairy Ape."

This won Stevens his first Grammy. It won for Best Contemporary Vocal Performance, Male. 

The song opens with the children's chorus singing the first 2 lines of a popular bible school hymn, "Jesus Loves The Little Children."
