Burl Ives is the man. This song is iconic. Many recognize him as Sam the Snowman (designed after him), the narrator of the classic 1964 Christmas television special.

[@paulwerner3259]

From Rudolph the Rednose Reindeer

It's in Elf...and several other Christmas movies, because Burl Ives is a Christmas LEGEND. He haas a ton of great Christmas favourites. He was also the Narrator as "Sam the Snowman" on Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. That entire album is amazing.

One of the best memories of Christmas as a child of the 60's and 70's- watching the snowman voiced by Burl Ives ride the Norelco Shaver through the snow. That ad meant that Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer was on! Holly Jolly Christmas was one of the classic songs in that show.

[@jacobskinner3522]

In addition to his recording career and generally being the voice of Christmas through his music and narrating "Rudolph," Burl Ives was also a superb dramatic actor. He won an Oscar in 1958 for "The Big Country" and was also spectacular in "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" as Big Daddy, a role he originated on Broadway.

[@andyo3689]

The Big Country Is an outstanding movie. Not just an outstanding western it ranks as one of the best movies of all time. Burl Ives won the Oscar but the cast included Gregory Peck Charlton Heston and Jean Simmons just to name a few. And also featured Chuck Connors the rifleman as a villain. My suggestion is if you read this you should watch The Big Country.

[@TracyfromNC]

He was a great folk singer

[@robinmills8675]

Burl Ives was most associated with Christmas music. He was the narrator for the classic 1964 television special, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.

[@myowndrum286]

That's the exact album I remember my Mom having! I'm an old one! lol

Yup, he is the voice for the narrator snowman in that very classic animated special :~) Burl Ives also sings one of my favorite versions of Big Rock Candy Mountain.

[@laritownsend2527]

Yeah, I'm more familiar with the Rudolph version of this song. That's more upbeat, not as syncopated, and backed by an orchestra. I like that version better than this.

Absolutely!!!

[@geoffthomas3238]

Thanks guys you’ve really warmed my 55 year old heart. This mans voice is Christmas to those of us who grew up in the 60s and 70s. He was the narrator of the Rudolph TV special that still airs every year. His voice was so comfortable it was like your grandfather singing you a song. Also a musician and a gifted actor. Hearing this song always takes me back to the Christmas’s of my youth . Good choice and Merry Christmas to your beautiful family.

[@GranFelicia]

I watch Rudolph every year just to hear Burl Ives, it takes me back to sitting on the floor in front of the tv with my brother while Mom was on the couch behind us and that anticipation of Christmas morning.... the sweetest memories!!

[@SanJoseBob]

Not only is he a great Folksinger, but an Academy Award Nominee actor. He is Stupendous in “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” as Big Daddy and in “Big Country” with Gregory Peck. His speech in Cat on a HTR, about how his father left him nothing and being a bum. At the end he is crying and saying “ I loved that old Hobo!”, very touching!…. SanJoséBob

[@rray848]

If your children (or you) haven't seen the Animated Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer from 1964 you need to show it to them. It is the one done with stop-motion animation using puppets. That was a yearly thing when I was a kid waiting anxiously for when it was going to be played on TV during the Christmas season. Burl Ives does the voice of the snowman and sings three songs during the show. This being one of them.

[@audreycumby1075]

Yes

[@JimLapine]

100%

[@wendymarshall7571]

I love the “oldie” Christmas songs and artists. This is one of my favorites. I’m 54, and these are the songs I heard as a kid. Nostalgia ❤️

[@ms.dirtybird7779]

I know you remember Christmas Wrapping by the Waitresses? I am about to be 53 in 12 days and used to hear it all the time but haven't heard it in so long. Its my favorite with John Lennon, Yoko right next to it But THIS- is a definite classic. Does take you back to childhood FR. 🙂

Burl Ives was a great folksinger who made his way into acting and he’s really known now for his Christmas songs and narrations. From his folk singing time check out “Big Rock Candy Mountain,” You’ll really enjoy it.

You have to listen to The Trans-Siberian Orchestra doing "Carol Of The Bells". You GOTTA watch a LIVE version. They are the most AMAZING orchestra and they "ROCK" Christmas songs. They are wonderful to listen to...but to actually watch them play is an entirely different experience. I've been asking for "Blue Christmas" by Elvis...but I'd choose The Trans-Siberian Orchestra for you to listen to over Elvis. YOU WILL FLIP OUT!!

[@KathySandru]

I love TSO! Have all of their CD’s including Nightcastle. They have to be seen live!

[@suelaughlen7579]

The best version of "Blue Christmas" is Vince Gill's, it's actually a sad song like it's intended to be.

[@valogden]

They used Trans Siberian Orchestra's Carol of the Bells in the kids fight scene during the season 3 finale of Cobra Kai.

[@islandgreenstrong]

@@valogden I watched that. Too bad, they ended Cobra Kai...I liked it. I have two FAVORITE versions of "Carol Of The Bells" (my FAV Christmas song), this one by TSO, and check out Emmy Rossum's version. Completely different, but OH SO FANTASTIC!!

[@revaflowers3115]

This song is one of the classics .Burl Ives recorded this song in 1964 and was an instant success. Burl was a lot of things,singer,writer and a Oscar holder for the best supporting role male for his part in the movie The Big Country.

[@wilshade]

Burl Ives was a frequent guest on the "Captain Kangaroo" show, during the holidays. Those of us who were kids then, learned a lot of Christmas songs from him. We even recognized him when he appeared in snowman form on the CBS holiday special, "Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer". We certainly recognized his voice and he looked exactly like we thought he should look like if he were a snowman. No Christmas since then has gone by without me thinking of Burl Ives and his songs.

[@jeannettestogner5164]

Burl Ives was an iconic folk singer. He was the narrator and voiced the character of Sam the Snowman in the classic 1964 stop-action animation version of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. You need to watch it with the kids - it's wonderful! He was also an Academy Award winning actor, having won Best Supporting Actor in 1958 for The Big Country. He was a multi-talented entertainer - check out more of his music! Thanks for a great reaction! ☃️☃️

[@doplinger1]

He was the snowman in Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer! Very distinct singing voice, unmistakable.

[@StoptheInsanityofRegressivism]

In a previous video you wanted to hear more folk music. Burl Ives certainly qualifies. I think you'll enjoy his non-Christmas music too. Two songs I think you'll enjoy are his "Blue Skies" and his recording of "What'll I do?" The latter really showcases what a great voice this man has. He was a phenomenal song writer and very good singer.

[@DianaJG8]

Used in "Elf" but NOT from Elf... I've been a Burl Ives fan since I was a kid. He is Frosty in the animated special AND the narrating snowman in "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" special every year. He had his own weekly musical show back in the 50/60's, too.

[@karendoss6026]

NO one can compare to Burl when it comes to this song. I love it and have to tell you about my nephew when he was two he loved this song and played it on his record player but the best part was when he would sing "Ho Ho the missing toe, hung where you can see" He is now in his thirties but I can't sing this song without singing the missing toe.

[@maryannhayase1798]

Ha! Ha!

[@jvondd]

When it comes to Christmas music, you can never go wrong with Trans-Siberian Orchestra. "Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24" is their most famous song, but my personal favorite is "Wizards in Winter "

[@bb5468]

He was a pretty darn good actor too. He won the Academy Award for best supporting actor for the 1958 film The Big Country and was unforgettable as Big Daddy in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof that same year.

[@stevenrogers9174]

Gene Autry's version of Rudolph The Red Nose Raindeer should be the next reaction and I believe is the original version of the song. THANK YOU for doing Burl Ives it was awesome.

OMG the memories. Before you could watch" Rudolf the red nose reindeer" year round, on the Sunday that they showed this special. Mom would pull out the Christmas tree and start to decorate. The tree the bubble lights, the special ornaments. The Christmas records we listened to when we watched mom make treats. My Mom and Dad have passed but oh the memories live on.

[@sandylee6025]

Burl Ives leaves me warm and fuzzy inside. As a child in the late 60s I listened to his children albums. (The Little White Duck). Rudolph has always been favorite Christmas special. Burl Ives is Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer. And Yes! Mr. Christmas!

[@bengilbert7655]

This song is originally from Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, the 60s TV movie with stop motion animation which Ives also played the snowman that narrates the movie. This song was written by the same guy that wrote Rudolph. Burl Ives was an actor and singer. Ives started out singing folk songs and also sang country. The movie plays on TV every year. Its on the Freeform cable channel several times before Christmas. You can stream it for $10 on several services but you can get the DVD cheaper at Amazon, Target or Walmart.

Exactly! Everyone needs to see his performance in “The Big Country”.

[@nerdywriterkat]

He's best known as the snowman narrator (and singer) in Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer as many have mentioned (they did a great job making it look like him!) and he was also the voice of the narrator in the 1st Easter Rabbit, though not nearly as well known as the Christmas one. Hearing him sing this song is so nostalgic and just makes you feel good. NOW it feels like Christmastime. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ms.dirtybird7779]

Winter Wonderland is on that level too. The guy that wrote it was inspired by looking out his hospital window in the winter. He was being treated for TB and sadly died a few years later from it. Pennsylvania this year is putting a plaque out in front of his childhood home to commemorate the song.

[@G-grandma_Army]

I am praying you have Andy Williams, “The Most Wonderful Time of the Year” on your Christmas list. Like this song it is one of the most iconic classic Christmas songs that all if us old timers grew up listening to. He had a variety show which often features The Osmond Brothers. Andy had lots of good Christmas music. His version of “Moon River” is beautiful! It won a Grammy for Song of the Year and Record of the Year and also eon the Academy Award for “Best Original Song”.

[@lovcymaribeth4081]

Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer cartoon with Burl Ives as the Snowman narrator is where you heard this song

[@LaptopLarry330]

This song was originally recorded by Burl Ives for the 1964 NBC TV special, "Rudolph, The Red-Nosed Reindeer". In 1965, Ives recorded the song again for his own Christmas music album. Late in his life, in the 1990s, Burl Ives re-recorded "Have A Holly, Jolly Christmas", and it was once again a hit on the Billboard Hot 100 Music Chart. I read an article about Ives recording the song once again in "Billboard" magazine. At this point in his life, he was wheelchair-bound, and fighting cancer, but in the interview for the article, Burl Ives was very happy that the song became a hit once again, and was thankful to all of his fans who remembered him, and bought the record.

[@chuckgibson6377]

My favorite. Just so joyous and happy. He recorded it after he voiced the snowman in Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. My parents had this album, on vinyl. ❤️

[@willmorrison1022]

Burl is a personal hero to me. All the singers said he was an actor, all the actors said he was a singer, and he took BOTH checks and laughed all the way to the bank for about 70 years. Got to appreciate that level of scam. Love that guy. Something else to consider about this song that no one ever notices: the HOT 12 string ELECTRIC guitar licks. That was pretty innovative at that time. If you're looking for other Burl tunes to do, check out anything fro the album "My Funny Way of Laughing". I grew up with that one, and when I left the parent's place, that one came with me. I still have it. It's up here on YT, as the whole album and separate songs. He also did a kid's album we had when I was growing up, full of songs about things like the little brown duck, swimming in the water, little brown duck, doing what he aught-er. It's pretty good, too.

[@bertusvanhal8855]

Burl Ives was one of the first pioneers of music in the 30's and 40's. He travels through America for Traditional folk and Hymns that was given from older to younger people. He played in many movies and makes the Christmas songs for the Children.

As a child of the 60s, I grew up with Burl Ives. A folk musician, Burl did a ton of Children's music. His Association with the Bass & Rankin Christmas specials have made him a Christmas fixture. Christmas for me is Perry Como, Andy Williams, Burleson Ives, Nat King Cole, Johnny Mathis etc. I loved my parents Christmas albums playing constantly. The giddy anticipation as the networks played their Christmas specials. The one night you ran after dinner to take your bath - no argument. Had to be in front of the TV in your footie pj's ready for every second.

[@davidnicholas7516]

Burl Ives is one of those guys who didn't have that great a singing voice, oddly high and a bit thin, but he made the MOST of what he had, and his personality shone through pretty much constantly. His voice is so cheerful that you just can't resist smiling. The only singer I can think of who's similar is Fred Astaire: Fred didn't have that good a voice either, but his personality was just outstanding and it comes through strongly.

Burl is the voice of the snow man for the classic Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer. It is now almost 60 years old. I’m sure you have seen it it is on every year. Your kids will love it.

I used to listen to Burl Ives' Christmas music over and over and over as a kid. Like Amber says, it's the single best song to put you in the Christmas spirit.

It was originally in Rudolph the red nose reindeer.When I hear this I see him as a snowman with his umbrella.

Burl Ives was the voice of the Snowman in the animated Rudolph the Reindeer movie back when I was a kid in the 1960’s. He was MR CHRISTMAS for a lot of us kids!

One of the sweetest singers AND one of the very meanest movie bad guys ever.

Great one guys. I think of the mid sixties when I was a boy and the Christmas special every year "Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer" Burl Ives was the ❄️🌨️ snowman and he sings this song which was always a highlight for me. Speaking of old Rudolph, Gene Autry singing "Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer 🦌" is a must, will really put the Christmas spirit in you and you little ones will love it, a true classic. Don't forget about Bing Crosby with Rosemary Clooney "Silver Bells" would love too see you two react too it, another classic and it's right up there with "White Christmas" trust me, you'll love it if you get around to it. 🎄✌️☮️💕
