Best show, Becky!

Thurl Ravenscroft, session bass singer extraordinaire throughout the 50s and 60s, best known as the voice of Tony the Tiger, but he shows up everywhere once you know his voice.

Did he ever duet with Burl Ives...a Burl and Thurl album seems like a no brainer.

It's possible - a lot of people assume "He's a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" is by Burl Ives.
