The California Raisins - Ain't Too Proud to Beg

@marinerman 5 years ago

The world has lost a great innovator and animator. A man who pioneered the art of claymation, and gave us countless characters and iconic moments for us to remember. Whether you know his work from the early days of the Noid and California Raisins, to the work made now by Laika Studios with characters like Coraline and Kubo; they all started with one man’s vision... His name, was Will Vinton. Though we must say farewell to this legendary figure, we can be thankful that his work will last forever. R.I.P. Will Vinton 1947 - 2018

0:08 "I know you wanna leave me." Then the vegetable falls and screams AAAAAAAAAH! Cracks me up every time. 😂

Used to watch this with my dad when I was a little girl.... he passed a year ago and although I really appreciated him for stopping whatever he was doing to watch this with me... I really really really appreciate the memory of him just watching this with me to see me smile... 😔💙

My brother and I taped this off the TV back in the day. We watched it till the tape wore out. To this day I laugh whenever that green onion dude screams.

The Raisins really found their groove when they released this single. I was a soundboard tech at RCA when they recorded it. This was their first number one hit and it stayed there for a month. I remember the lead singer saying to me after the session "no more basement shows for us." He was right, the Raisins were playing sold out shows after this song and recorded a string of number ones. They were, as I remember, always humble and thankful for their audience and just downright great guys. I got the chance to jam with the lead singer and the bass player one night and it was the best night of my life.
