Ray Stevens recognized the power of the music video in the mid-80s and has been releasing them ever since. Ray released a direct-to-video collection of these videos in 1992 called Ray Stevens Comedy Video Classics, which won Billboard Home Video of the Year in 1993. In 1995, Stevens released his film Get Serious! which consisted of several music videos. A series of animated videos were released between 2004 and 2008 which revisited many of Stevens' most popular hits. Ray returned to live action with a series of direct-to-YouTube music videos starting with 2009's "We The People". Some of Stevens' music videos have gone viral and most of them have garnered millions of unique views. In 2012, Stevens released a series of non-album Christmas music videos. Since then he has continued to sporadically release direct-to-YouTube music videos.
