John Daker Sextet

[@zackparsons3937]

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

[@wetwhistlinwillyjohnson5743]

Underrated comment

[@zacharyromeos9900]

LMAOOO

[@janedoe1525]

🤣🤣🤣

[@SolvingOurKreation]

She's into math rock and human psychology.

[@PatrickRiddleKEYs]

Exactly!!! Nailed it with that comment. Truth!!!!!

[@MrBrandomonium]

Daker looks like he's still trying to sing Amore

[@Robin_Works]

MrBrandomonium I really like this comment

[@DavidThomas-jc8ov]

MrBrandomonium okaaaaaaay?

[@DavidThomas-jc8ov]

MrBrandomonium Whep

[@slowemm]

Scrum scree Mr. Morayyyy

[@jonathanbelzile8145]

😆😂😂

[@BPMusic06]

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

[@michaelsolomon6594]

😂

[@DavidKArrrrgh]

Like back in Old Napoli

[@Speedbird_Concorde]

Nobody puts Daker in the corner 😂

[@logann7942]

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

[@denzilroland4011]

She could rock "We welcome you lolly pop land" from the Wizard of Oz!

[@justmeandthethree]

I literally burst out laughing when I read "leprechaun-like singing voice." Also, she would definitely be a great addition to the Lollipop Guild.

[@slicksnewonenow]

@@denzilroland4011 yes... She's really representin'!

[@dondraper2488]

She was also the best d1ck sucker in church….

[@logann7942]

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

[@DavidThomas-jc8ov]

Logan N 100%. They all come in on like the 4th note.

[@SpideyVids]

Reva doesn't give them much of a chance, she just races from one tune into the next without giving them any sort of cue - it's hilariously bad. 😂

[@jussikankinen9409]

Better people, would give own food to poor

[@CharlieBourgeois_]

A living Mt. Rushmore forever captured on film.

[@Janeintheok]

Mt Rushmore is more animated than my man John

[@brookeaprilrain10]

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

[@RjBenjamin353]

brookeaprilrain10 - Yes, John Daker is And will always be a legend.

[@RjBenjamin353]

brookeaprilrain10 Yes, a legend!!

[@pattas2005]

He does! I just found some recent-ish videos of him!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3aoiYerbd6Wndk kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5ezeYFro6Z6eq8 kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqe6gaGpmdFledE What a legend he still is!

[@pattas2005]

I also found 2 photos of John in a Karate Do-Jo! Clearly a man of many talents lol - www.uskk.org/Friday%203-23-2012.jpg www.uskk.org/October%20202006%20Hombu.JPG

[@Miewse]

He's alive in a nursing home somewhere. We should pray for his good health. I don't want to be in a world without him.

[@clairelee9011]

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

[@assignmentearth2899]

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

[@iscovimigarga3260]

Dakar is being held back by these amateurs. DAKAR SMASH

[@zerdda]

Iscovimi Garga sad, isn't it?

[@streatlevul2688]

+Iscovimi Garga It's DAKER, not DAKAR!! You probably misspell ELVUS, too!!

[@darioinfini]

+Streat Levul DAKAR NOIR!

[@iscovimigarga3260]

Streat Levul Sorry, I forgot he changed from Dakar to Daker to hide from the Dutch.

[@johnm2558]

Splendidest comment ever.

[@kaitlynrandall6894]

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

[@pscholes18]

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

[@brentjohnson4212]

Whep.

[@allensagalla1579]

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

[@praestant8]

And never once has she found the sustain pedal.

[@amyrussell860]

Yes she does.

[@EvilxSausage]

Seriously, she plays so fast it's like she's got an urgent appointment to be somewhere across town.

[@softrockrules]

One speed forever. And no one directing? One of the 6 could stand in front.

[@davebraun4876]

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

[@entiretotal7207]

+Dave Braun You could say she makes one… unsicker.

[@lizsmusic111]

+Entire Total LOL

[@RjBenjamin353]

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

[@NexusOfTheUniverse]

He was better than the King. Nobody can forget lyrics like John

[@sacriel]

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

[@abraham_benson_official]

If a balloon pops, so does your soul.

[@billycat2168]

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.

[@Chris-od8si]

If only...

[@DavidThomas-jc8ov]

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

[@NonmetalAlkali]

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

[@mikegeiler2347]

As they should with the STAR

[@tinythechick]

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

[@CikisHelyzet]

I’m dying!!🤣🤣

[@nugeme]

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

[@Jimrauchsgps]

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

[@xfln]

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

[@reisswilks289]

I think her name is Patsy

[@Adventures-with-Mel]

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

[@chevydude658]

Oh my goodness I laughed harder at your comment than the video! Bwahahahahaha I could totally see somebody doing that and STILL singing stanky.

[@zackparsons3937]

The first two words of each song are implied.

[@mattleemattlee123]

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.

[@jeffsummstl]

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

[@cmikesmith664]

Jeff Summers, it's horrible timing

[@Mistershredd]

The issue can be summed up in one word: Reva.

[@MapleLeafAce]

Jeff Summers pianist isn’t giving them enough lead-in before getting to lyrics. Odds are none of these people practiced.

[@KevyNova]

Reminds me of Tarzan, Tonto and Frankenstein Sing from SNL.

[@DavidThomas-jc8ov]

Mistershredd Bwaaagh

[@hellonieman]

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

[@tankmaster1018]

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

[@DugrozReports]

Reva just plows ahead . . .

[@minifloat]

Whep

[@maswellasm]

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

[@matt6565]

Took me this long to comment, but yeah, Ol' Large Marge Hicks sounds like a Chipmonk singing at 1.25x speed

[@MrDuneedon]

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

[@Riff156]

"Medley" is Daker's middle name... right after "Danger"....

[@zackparsons3937]

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

[@chunkme1979]

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

[@AwakeningJerry]

soaring harmonies..brings tears to my eyes

[@imadumas2]

Peoria 's got talent!

[@michellei.1762]

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!!

[@jedihillis]

Daker "whep"@2:09

[@CharlieBourgeois_]

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

[@MireVale]

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

[@johnm2558]

Mire Vale haha! I think John’s greatest legacy isn’t his performance per se but the top-notch commentary he inspires!

[@DavidThomas-jc8ov]

John M I couldn’t agree more.

[@abraham_benson_official]

Right 😂

[@nycgal2038]

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

[@jackshannonmusic7564]

It’s Illinois, I believe it’s “Bags of Weed”.

[@97channel]

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

[@johnm2558]

97channel I’m engaged in writing a stage show about John provisionally titled ‘Whep! the Musical ‘

[@walde1968]

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.

[@amyrussell860]

You know, this is a pretty accurate description.

[@DavidThomas-jc8ov]

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

[@chubbylilloser85]

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 ><

[@geraldwalker7609]

The only thing to get me more excited is that Henrietta and Myrna are up next.

[@buckeyeschmave]

"Way to go Patsy" ... lmao

[@algomaone121]

Requirement for this chorus: Heartbeat.

[@ZavierHildreth-qh6vf]

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…

[@Eflatmajor7sharp11]

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.

[@prisonicfairytale]

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

[@knightelliott]

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

[@magpiemaniac]

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

[@Bisskits]

Play this at my funeral

[@38subjecthandbook]

God bless Peoria, Illinois.

[@geraldwalker7609]

And Da Firsh You Nigh Mef Dish Shurch.

[@vixen666ful]

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

[@hydorah]

The first time, they all started at different times, second time around? They nailed it! All started at different times again! To be that consistently inconsistent takes talent

[@geraldwalker7609]

You can tell it's something they are used to doing.

[@cutebutpsychoemi]

"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

[@SL-vy8ue]

I have a need for more of this.

[@TheSuperSqueegy]

From left to right: Bob Spencer, MichellecaseyandI, John Daker, and random lady ♥️

[@BeefSupreme288]

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

[@jimjimgl3]

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

[@519forestmonk9]

“In the night from the lights of the bus”

[@brianmouser3838]

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

[@MEpianist]

Long Live Reva Unsicker!!!

[@ruthiemay423]

John should be at the microphone 🎤

[@LUNADAD]

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

[@stooge81]

October 12, 1973. Madison Square Garden, NYC .Led Zeppelin (headliner), John Daker Sextet (opener). Lightning truly does only strike once, friends.

[@NESherv]

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

[@MECowgo]

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

[@mickeymouse12678]

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

[@colethompson3040]

Granpa in the prom tux, lady with bumblebee earrings, and... John Daker?

[@rachellep537]

Way to go Kathy !!! Haha

[@hicvrnage]

Sounds great, guys!

[@christian_heretic]

I don’t ever want to see John Daker and the word sex that close again

[@heydanbud]

this guy is one in a million!

[@ThatFawkesGuy2121]

Glory glory hallelujah, Teacher hit me with a ruler, Bopped her on the bean with a rotten tangerine, And she ain't comin' back no more!

[@wassup287]

Johns pulling some pretty crazy faces

[@walde1968]

Those babes are rockin the shoulder pads!

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

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

[@stargirrl821]

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

[@tommy..980]

Daker is a musical genius

[@ronsykes-ih8zg]

I noticed that no one is singing harmony. Is this another of Rava's teaching gems? I noticed that John is really enunciating in the first song. Too bad I can't hear him. However, I DID hear the wiggly vibrato from a female. Is it the lady in yellow? 😉

[@jrm2383]

If you watch Johns lips, he doesn’t know these words either 😂

[@RickGhastly]

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

[@AKReed-es4mo]

I like John Dakar- makes me smile

[@heydanbud]

00:47 when he is smiling killed me

[@geraldwalker7609]

In case anyone wants to know, "Mine eyes have seen the " are the first words of the second song.

[@RFitz205]

This video is now old enough to drive

[@nicklebrun1423]

You guys need to sing Amorai too okay?

[@porkyfry]

Yeah! Way to go, Patsy!

[@housewifeuntilheaven1593]

“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.

[@slicksnewonenow]

"Way ta go, Kathy"... 😅😂🤣

[@MahouShoujo16]

How did people find this? And why were they forced to sing "God Bless America" again? John Daker and his facial expressions lol

[@thetick48]

Riva needs to realize they aren't recording a 45 and she could let her sexiest of sextets breathe between tunes. I don't know where you're about to eat dinner, but it's not a race, sister! Reva's probably the town's baddest piano player, but damn, sister - you ain't messing around!

[@JMB129]

John Daker rules.

[@ophthodoc]

I didn’t know the munchkins went on to a singing career

[@CSifjrixhrj]

His name is John Daker

[@Andythefunkman]

long life to Mr John Daker
