Burl Ives is my favorite (non-opera) singer, but very few people my generation seem to remember him, so far as I've seen. Do any of you know him?

 

Here's a song - Ghost Riders in the Sky

I like him real well. He had three or four different careers - first as a folk singer, then as more of a pop singer, then as an actor. Loved him as Big Daddy in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof." Loved his hit "A Little Bitty Tear Let Me Down." But he recorded lots of other songs, too.

"A Little Bitty Tear" is lovely. Do you know "Makes No Difference Now" or "It's Just My Funny Way of Laughing?"

The Ugly Bug Ball!

 

YES! How about "The Big Rock Candy Mountain?" (I'm sure you know that.) Or "The Donut Song?"

The Bug Ball and his narration and singing in the Rudolph stop animation film were probably the two main ones I remember!
