Reva's piano introductions are basically a passive aggressive guessing game which she has enjoyed playing for 55 years in that town.

Daker looks like he's still trying to sing Amore

Why’d they have to stick my man in the back. Daker is a star, let him shine ⭐️

Yellow dress woman has a very confident singing voice. A very confident, leprechaun-like singing voice.

A living Mt. Rushmore forever captured on film.

Daker is struggling so hard with those words in the back. Good ole Daker.

Love his extreme "o" face on O vowels. Somebody told him to do that once, and by golly, he's nailing it!

I love how no one wants to be the first one to start singing. These are church people for sure.

one of the ladies singing sounds EXACTLY like the munchkins from wizard of oz.

Daker is the kind of guy you want having your back in a bar fight.

Whenever your in a dark depressed place, just turn on a Reva Unsicker video, and the universe becomes puppies and rainbows.

If only John Daker knew how beloved he'd become. Too bad they didn't film him more, this guy is awesome.

John Daker looks like he stayed in place after "Amoruh" and everyone else just gathered around him

I really like the old guy on the left. I think he just wondered in from the Lawrence Welk audience.

if you popped a baloon in that room they would all simultainously die.

Dakar is being held back by these amateurs. DAKAR SMASH

Even though I'm decades younger than them, if I'm with them with Reva playing, I think I would still struggle to keep up. Reva really plays at warp speed

I like how every single one of them missed the cue to start singing, just like John did in his solo performance.

Gotta love that warbling diva hogging the mic. "God bless Amerryca!" I like how by the second go-round, she's completely silent, and then during glory, glory hallelujah she ever so slowly begins getting louder and louder. LOL

so these are the people john daker hangs out with. nice!!!!

I saw him at Woodstock. great concert. After that he played a few gigs in Japan .. and then the big Live Aid concert with Phil Collins on drums and Billy joel on Piano.

These people never knew a thing like KZfaq would ever be invented.

"God Bless America", or as John Daker interprets it, "Goooooood Hmuuuu Buhhhh Hoo Muh Merrrrrr".

What a singer And celebrity Daker was. Some have said that whenever Daker entered a room, a light, a bright blinding light would fill the room and people would cower to his greatness. He was like Elvis

You just know that little vixen Margie with the uncontrollable vibrato has broken up half the marriages in town. She was working on John Daker before the show, which explains why he couldn't remember the lyrics to Amore. Just look at those lustful, sidelong glances she's giving George Stanton...playing his affections against those of Daker. There was a brawl after the cameras shut down, trust me.

Yeah Margie plug that ear... Your pitch is right on girl!!

It's like a class of first graders putting on a concert for the parents: one kid is fucking around with her clothes and face while she inches her mouth closer to the mic so that no one will miss out on her spectacular singing; one kid is distracted by looking at the kid next to her; one kid is rule bound and follows the EXACT mouth movements the teacher showed them (and he probably got pissed at the others for not doing what the teacher said); one kid who wants to be ANYWHERE but there and he's fucking hungry dammit; a goodie-two-shoes who's clearly teacher's pet ("Nice job Patsy"); and a stud-dude in the back who probably has kissed the little temptress in front with the mustard yellow dress who can't stop fucking around with her appearance.

"Way to go Kathy". She's probably being congratulated because of her AMAZING high note at the end that's just SOOOO beautiful...

At 2:10, Daker pulls a TOTAL “Whep”. You can see it, & he has that same disappointed look!!

Daker looks like he creeped out from behind the curtain to sing along

Peoria 's got talent!

That 'amen' at 2:34 is something else...

Daker "whep"@2:09

Margie's tiny little self-confident head bobble both delights me and fills me full of rage.

"Way to go Patsy" ... lmao

mmmm humm am-hmm-hum-hhm, LAAND THAT I LOOVE... ...(whep!).

Goddamn, I love when Daker and the gang go right into a medley.

These people are precious. I want them all for neighbors.

Margie is visibly stunned that she's having to sing God Bless America a second time.

“In the night from the lights of the bus”

"From the night and the light from above!" Peoria is 30 minutes away from where I live and my uncle met someone who knows John Daker :D

The lights of wrath?! I just coughed up my drink! I hope John punched them all in the biscuits for that error!

"Where the bags of wrath are stored???" Did I hear that right?

2:38 John makes the "Okay it's over" face!!!

soaring harmonies..brings tears to my eyes

Little Know Fact: Woman in mustard-colored outfit was the top Mary Kay Cosmetics salesperson in Peoria County, Illinois.

I like how the second part of the video, they all start singing really quiet and gradually get louder.

I tried and I tried and I tried to figure out where the downbeat was after her intro. I know if the John Daker Sextet couldn't come in on time, then little ol me with a music composition degree from Berklee sure wasn't going to find it.

I like how they still miss their cue a second time.

I feel bad for john daker. He looks a shy nervous guy..imagine fucking up THAT bad on tv.. His only conciliation was that it was public tv (small audience) and in 2 years no one would remember..... then after two years he moved on with his life and forgot all about it... then 15+ years later.. youtube came along ><

There seems to be an issue with singing the first two words of a song...

His lips...his eyes...his expressions...oh, never change, John. Never change. Also, getcher arse back on the telly and sing some more for us!!

Really great scooping & coming in on the 4th word of ever verse!

00:47 when he is smiling killed me

John Daker rules.

I have a need for more of this.

The single most beautiful sound ever captured happens at 2:33. Chapter 4 "Harmonizing"

My favorite is the singing chipmunk in the brown/yellow dress.

"Way to go, Patsy" my ass. Daker's dropping spiritual napalm here.

Those babes are rockin the shoulder pads!

Cannot stop laughing hysterically

Daker is The Glen Beck of the musical world! Brilliant!

Long Live Reva Unsicker!!!

"Stand beside her, and guide her, from the night and the light of the bug..." what?

No matter how fast they sing, she is gonna play it just a fraction faster!

I love how The Great Daker forgets the lyrics in this performance too.

From 0:42 to 0:50 John Dakar face is quite possiblity the best evee

Anything with complex lyrics in it, John just can't handle. What we need is some to isolate his vocals.

I can just smell the stale coffee wafting out from the church kitchen

what a wonderful inspiration john daker is…god bless him…:)

"Way ta go, Kathy"... 😅😂🤣

I just wanted to say that If you have suicidal thoughts, mental trauma, PTSD or anything Just know. You have a purpose you are beautiful, kind, just be yourself and go after what you want to do. You are amazing, you got this, and things will get better in your life, you will do great things, and so many people like your family and I are proud of you and love you dearly. Your future is bigger than your past and your past does not define you are awesome and a warrior. Don’t hate yourself simply because of your past, forgive yourself, love yourself no matter what because you deserve the world and the great things in it. Things we’ll get better in your life. You are the light of the world. Stay safe. 💪🏽❤️. Have a beautiful day…

Honestly, John Daker carried it with his unique voice. No sarcasm.

At 49 seconds his face is classic!

"Stand beside her, and guide her, from the night and the light up above..."

John Daker in the back?? That's like putting the MVP of your team on the bench!

Daker is a musical genius

Yeah! Way to go, Patsy!

Patsy killed it

this guy is one in a million!

Who else had as their first album, Jon Daker Live at Budokan?

I like John Dakar- makes me smile

TAKE IT AWAY JOHN!

I should hire them to sing at my wedding

Can’t wait for them to start their national arena concert tour! Contact Ticketmaster early to reserve your seat!

Rest In Peace, Mr. Daker 😢

I love John Daker.

This video is now old enough to drive

God help America 😂

All heavily medicated by the looks of it.

I love how they all miss their entrance in the beginning.

long life to Mr John Daker

first united methodist church! represent!

“Way to go Patsy.” Nice. Patsy’s just trying to make it through with a chandelier hanging from her ears...oh man, the goat yodel vibrato at the end...Patsy killed it...or was that Marge? YT gold right here.

Johns pulling some pretty crazy faces

Reva HATES the first word of every song ever written and she has ways to make sure it is never sung.

I'll be god damned if John Daker doesn't know the words to this song either!

I dont think he knew the lyrics this time either, if you watch closely hevis playbacking half the time. Though brings a smile to my face every time!

from 2:33 on, the harmony is nothing short of ethereal. :P

I like how they all look so happy up there
