His voice was/is the David Attenborough of music....LEGEND...Thank you mum for giving me his music at a young age
A WONDERFUL MAN OF A SIMPLE TIME.
Awwww, I was at that show. After the show a group of us went back to his house for a hang. I'll never forget it. He was so kind and his wife Dorothy was an angel !
How lucky are you thats awesome!!
A wonderful memory.
He would have been in his early 80s here. I missed this tour because when he came to town I saw no advertisements. Then you later complained that it was poorly attended. I've been in the music business all my life if I didn't know about it how did they expect with general public to find it? My first exposure to this man was as a singing snowman. What a voice and what an entertainer
I was heartbroken when I saw his desk at the Mt. Vernon Habitat store.
Thanks for sharing your heartwarming memories with us !!
I loved him so much. I'm 62 now and it seems like most of my childhood hero's are almost all gone now. Time passes so quickly. This was such a joy to watch thank you for posting this I had some tears and some laughter.
yes he is very special
he's inspiring new generations of musicians
I’m only 30, I was born this year and now I’m crying 😩😭😭💕
Try to be a hero to somebody, so they will remember you!
I'm 71 and can relate, never had childhood heroes though.
I Discover Burl Ives when I went yo USA un '83...Back un Argentina I'm always looking for his songs , that My children were humming during their childhood....
A living legend!
Thank you so much for uploading this, Burl Ives is one of the greats!
My sentiments exactly !!
Burl was basically a 60 year old man for the last 50 years of his life. His appearance never changed.
SWEET & HUMBLE, ERY UNIQUE
As I do when I take off my hat, you make a good point !!
I could listen to these simple songs all day RIP Burl
I know the feeling !!
Was a rescuer of many international folk songs. One of a kind and a decent actor as well.
Indubitably !!
Wonderful man and excellent singer I'm 67 now and watching this in Scotland. I'm immediately transported to my child hood. RIP Burl.
When i was a young rockstar someone gave me 3 cassetttes of Burl & i though pfffft wtf? 30 years later its the best music i've got. Happy Holidays to you all!!!
I remember my mother playing all sorts of the old time music he was one and I loved it I even played it all for my kids and they love him too and burl has such a beautiful smile
Had a Walt Disney record wIth songs from his movies...Phil Harris, Louis Prima and The Great Burl Ives....the song was one of my favorites...Lavender Blue DillyDilly.Also loved him as Sam the snowman on the classic animated Christmas classic Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer...Have A Holly Jolly Christmas is a real Gem!
Thank you for posting this video...it brought back many memories of seeing Burl perform in the movies and on television. He was a national treasure.
He really was. Glad we could provide some nostalgia
qa very special man
That was amazing to hear him when he was 81. He still had it and could still entertain the best of them. Too bad he is gone I loved the Christmas story that he narrated when I was a little boy. It is still popular today. Cheers to Burl Ives. Absolutely the best ever. No one can replace him. Thanks for sharing this.
He's in his 80s here, and in great voice. Loved his music as a child. Rip Burl, thank you for the music. From Wales UK.
Well said and well put !!
This is a blessed man …I was reared on his songs .❤❤❤❤
You were sodomized to this song? My god man!
Nobody since could hold a candle to that man.
He seems tired, but he sings as well as ever.
Did you forget that he was 81?
So true....
He was the greatest balladeer,loved him.RIP Mr Burl Ives.❤️❤️❤️
I heartily concur !!
Burl Icle Ivanhoe Ives (June 14, 1909 - April 14, 1995)
Burl spent some time in a small village in co kerry Ireland in the 50's. How lucky we were as kids to have that privilege! Sad to hear he has passed!❤
“Big Daddy.” Saw this genius when I was a boy in 74.” Brilliant, kind performance. So much heart and joy.
I attended his recital at I-House in Berkeley in the early 1990s. I was a young grad student. I happened to be sitting next to a man who I recognized as the chancellor of UCB. Both of us enjoyed ourselves tremendously and couldn't believe how privileged we were to be there.
I took my young family to this concert and I think that you can hear one of the little ones laugh!
As an English couple in a large record store in Florida we asked where the Burl Ives records were.
Who's Burl Ives the young girl asked.
????? ??
I love when Burl is the snowman that narates Rudolf s story... priceless memories⛄
I remember watching "Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer" as a youngster when it first aired on network TV in 1964! Who doesn't love Burl Ives?
So beautiful I'ma cryin'....
Indeed !!
Anacortes WA legend; grandma and I together would sing his jingles…1950s
I grew up on Burl Ives I'm 70 years old and it was a great singer a great songwriter I don't know if he wrote a song but I imagine you did but it was just a good human being
Such a wonderful man.
I liked the old man he played in the "Big Country", and I still listen to him singing "Riders in the Sky", but had turn him off now, centiment and all. And I am sad he is died. Bloke from Aus.
One of the most musical voices ever
He etched his beautiful voice into my childhood with so many fun, delightful and wonderful songs and he is with me happily still. Thank you.
I live in Northern Ireland and he was part of my teenage years and beyond.
Im now 76 still love him dearly.
SUCH A UNIQUE VOICE, AN AMAZING STORY TELLER,A LEGEND.THX BURL🤍🎶
I attended one of his benefit concerts. Angie Dickinson was there as well as some of the New Christy Minstrals. A great evening of singing and entertainment!!
A great unique voice. It was back in the late 50s i was in my 20s when The Big Rock Candy Mountain. He sang two favourites one after the other. A Little bity Tear Let Me Down. Now I am waiting for the real heart plucker, which is Mary Ann Regrets. I saw a few of his films one was titled, Desire Under Elms, I think that one was staring Anthony Perkins and Eartha Kitt. The Big County, starring Gregory Peck, Jean Simmons and Sir…..Hardwick, his Christian name has escaped me. But I live in hope to hear Mary Ann regrets she’s unable to see you again.
This man's voice I heard as a small child . His voice is something that stays with you for live. A great man a true gift to people of the world
I have a notion to second THAT emotion !!
What a sweetheart 🐾💫😽
Unforgetable
Indeed !!

Giants Walked this earth..
I regret which may be a good thing, that I can’t shed any light on the matter 🤔
Hermoso! Llegó hasta Tucumán - Argentina!
Pure magic.

Foggy fggy
The Foggy Foggy Dew....
I don't remember exactly how I was wasting my time in April of 1991, but now, if I could go back in time, I would fly from the east coast just to hear Jimmy Crack Corn from the master 54:55
THE BEST
Շատ շնորհակալություն,Բըրլ Այվսն ուղղակի հրաշք մարդ է եղել😊
I'll never forget the movie The Sundowners he was in.
If you are referring to the 1960 film "The Sundowners", starring Robert Mitchum & Deborah Kerr, Burl Ives did not appear in it.
Love his great distinct voice.
You might have heard it before, as the voice of Sam the Snowman in the all-time classic holiday special, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.
Me too !!
Thank you
Solche Menschen gibt es heute einfach nicht mehr!
Cool 👍
BURL'S ONE OF THE GREATEST EVER
Thank you ❤
I agree 100 per cent !!
Is he chewing tobacco
fink
2 sides to every story
What is that supposed to mean? Is it a reference to Davy Crockett stories on Walt Disney?
We all can't be perfect like you.
