Burl Ives Last Solo Concert (1991)

[@jaymzbeesez]

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 !

[@stagehand9002]

How lucky are you thats awesome!!

[@glennmorris371]

A wonderful memory.

[@jessegaron865]

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

[@cherylburkhead1334]

I was heartbroken when I saw his desk at the Mt. Vernon Habitat store.

[@jubalcalif9100]

Thanks for sharing your heartwarming memories with us !!

[@WallytheRapper]

His voice was/is the David Attenborough of music....LEGEND...Thank you mum for giving me his music at a young age

[@tomcochrane56]

Wonderful man and excellent singer I'm 67 now and watching this in Scotland. I'm immediately transported to my child hood. RIP Burl.

[@SylviaDonnell]

I love when Burl is the snowman that narates Rudolf s story... priceless memories⛄

[@jubalcalif9100]

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?

[@steveokeeffe8130]

A WONDERFUL MAN OF A SIMPLE TIME.

[@marilynsabo2935]

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!!

[@GunnarBengtsson-l2c]

Unforgetable

[@jubalcalif9100]

Indeed !!

[@theseedistheword3603]

So beautiful I'ma cryin'....

[@jubalcalif9100]

Indeed !!

[@patrickrwhite8354]

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.

[@bfuiltugomaith]

This is a blessed man …I was reared on his songs .❤❤❤❤

[@migaudiblenofourdigitbullshit]

You were sodomized to this song? My god man!

[@lindapendleton9176]

Was a rescuer of many international folk songs. One of a kind and a decent actor as well.

[@jubalcalif9100]

Indubitably !!

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

[@jubalcalif9100]

I have a notion to second THAT emotion !!

[@BredaReidy-m3d]

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!❤

[@johnnybgood58]

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.

[@fortbumper]

yes he is very special

[@casspipercassidy4297]

he's inspiring new generations of musicians

[@JoeBreeVideos]

I’m only 30, I was born this year and now I’m crying 😩😭😭💕

[@billyclub56]

Try to be a hero to somebody, so they will remember you!

[@Dhannibal01]

I'm 71 and can relate, never had childhood heroes though.

[@JakeSmith-ux1xk]

I could listen to these simple songs all day RIP Burl

[@jubalcalif9100]

I know the feeling !!

[@bosse641]

Such a wonderful man.

[@louiserawle8999]

He was the greatest balladeer,loved him.RIP Mr Burl Ives.❤️❤️❤️

[@jubalcalif9100]

I heartily concur !!

[@washedinblood]

Nobody since could hold a candle to that man.

[@ramiedouglas5878]

Anacortes WA legend; grandma and I together would sing his jingles…1950s

[@stagehand9002]

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!!!

[@glennmorris371]

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.

[@jubalcalif9100]

Well said and well put !!

[@babyamyful]

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

[@geokes64]

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.

[@dc9291]

he was beautiful in his sr. yrs. I have memories of him during christmas (on t-v). part of my memories.

[@jamesbridgewater5582]

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!

[@jameswatters9592]

One of the most musical voices ever

[@chrisweidner4768]

“Big Daddy.” Saw this genius when I was a boy in 74.” Brilliant, kind performance. So much heart and joy.

[@mirianansotegi649]

What a sweetheart 🐾💫😽

[@shilohdean-qi2oi]

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

[@ornantull5555]

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.

[@robertbrothers8814]

Burl was basically a 60 year old man for the last 50 years of his life. His appearance never changed.

[@marlenesullivan3113]

SWEET & HUMBLE, ERY UNIQUE

[@jubalcalif9100]

As I do when I take off my hat, you make a good point !!

[@allanhirsch9140]

I took my young family to this concert and I think that you can hear one of the little ones laugh!

[@MrPremium2002]

Thank you so much for uploading this, Burl Ives is one of the greats!

[@jubalcalif9100]

My sentiments exactly !!

[@YaMumsSpecialFriend]

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.

[@amysands8925]

I live in Northern Ireland and he was part of my teenage years and beyond. Im now 76 still love him dearly.

[@tonylawrence9157]

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.

[@lauranosetto2170]

[@michaeldavidson1146]

Love his great distinct voice.

[@tysargent9647]

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.

[@jubalcalif9100]

Me too !!

[@AlanCole-c8w]

I'll never forget the movie The Sundowners he was in.

[@jubalcalif9100]

If you are referring to the 1960 film "The Sundowners", starring Robert Mitchum & Deborah Kerr, Burl Ives did not appear in it.

[@trevorobrien1593]
