Glen Campbell & Burl Ives

[@bazlebreeze9938]

While a peon at Disney Records in 1974, an exec introduced me to Burl in 1974 as they walked by. Burl reached up over a big wooden barrier between us just to shake my hand. A moment in life I'll never forget. Classy guy. RIP Burl and Glen.

[@patriciajrs46]

Thanks Baz. That's great.

[@terrybader8595]

Burl's voice was like warm honey

[@ffdaddy69]

when I saw him in Concert he was 74 & doing 115 concerts a year & could still those high notes.

[@iansings7428]

..and his guitar is soothing to!

[@jubalcalif9100]

The late great Burl Ives was 65 years old when this was taped. What a wonderful joy to see these two musical icons ! THANK YOU so very much for uploading for us to enjoy !

[@peterhempenstall9968]

They dont make em like that anymore,pure brilliance.

[@williamzander4732]

Those songs are about life that never go out of date .A million years of talent.

[@peterbland7227]

They both look like they are having a wonderful time. So nice for Glen to give Burl Ives a chance to show his talents.

[@kutzbill]

Glen Campbell plays that guitar so casual, and so perfect. Both voices blend so well. Just pure talent.

[@NCLUSA]

One doesn't realize just how much talent these older guys had, until we look at what we call talent today? ):

[@saginawdan]

There's a whole wide world of talent out there...unfortunately it has a difficult time finding a large audience. I do agree with your sentiments!

[@burtblahnik6074]

Amen

[@AndrewVelonis]

No, they stand on their own, they need no comparison.

[@patriciajrs46]

They put these folks today to shame.

[@GeorgeSemel]

The talent is there, it just gets drowned out by the noise! You would be surprise there is a lot on you tube.

[@johnj.flanagan-hymnsoffaith]

Two great icons together. What a treat indeed.

[@rjc7289]

Between Burl's strumming, Glen's tasty licks and the both of them singing and harmonizing, I'm just spellbound by the level of talent! This is leaps and bounds better and more satisfying to the soul than any of the crap that passes for popular music today.

[@ianday3276]

It's great to sing along with Burl - we heard his songs in the 50s. Left wing singers like the late lamented Roy Bailey sing songs with a message we can pass on. sonichits.com/video/Roy_Bailey/Anna_Mae

[@MTknitter22]

Yes

[@geerterri]

@@ianday3276 Left wing? WTH are you talking about?

[@patriciajrs46]

Amen to that!!

[@nashvilletennessee3194]

Burl Ives just had that special voice to sing folk songs! Glen harmonizes well with him and does amazing guitar work here!

[@madeleinedonaldson4422]

2 of my favourites I loved Burl Ives and Glen Campbells music The good old days with real talent.Todayd idea of entertainment is pathetic

[@charlescampbell6756]

Burl Ives a great singer and an even better actor!

[@sammyrothrock6981]

Pure talent nothing better than old folk country music 🎶! I miss those 60s and 70s

[@patriciajrs46]

Me, too!!

[@Michael_A_MN]

Sitting at home with the flu listening to Burl Ives. I really like this one because I love Glen also. I was born in the early '70's so all I knew about Burl Ives was he was the Frosty the Snowman guy. Thank god for KZbin.

[@jurijsnovosjolovs2844]

Excellent

[@robertbrown7470]

They sing well together.

[@terryallen5328]

Pure class and talent which is sadly lacking nowerdays. RIP Burl Ives & Glen Campbell.

[@CaptZacman]

Special talent from both. Didn't realize Burl was so much bluegrass in him. Outstanding!

[@PapagenoMF]

This music is not considered bluegrass. It's Americana. 19th century folk music.

[@petergrandahl2386]

This is real music. No electronic canned music. No auto tune. No striptease. Just talent!

[@Herro750]

Probably not much call for striptease from burl. However I agree with you I don’t want any anywhere.

[@Herro750]

Probably little demand for striptease with burl ives

[@fumingriley]

Great combination and Glen was such a fantastic guitarist, one of the best.

[@maureenarmstrong2307]

Glen could sing along with anyone, and feel at home... Never will there be another like him. I love the way he always looked at whoever he was with, like the honest lovely man he was."REST EASY DEAREST GLEN"

[@35sixer]

Burl Ives... The true gentleman, the ballad master, God gifted talent, listened to his children's album as a child and I was hooked..

[@judyanninmichigan]

+chaz z My mom got Burl Ives kid albums for us..loved them!...gee, dates me!

[@flashman7612]

+Judy Miller ..Maybe so Judy but you have good taste nonetheless.

"true American all the way." (?) The man was a communist.

[@mr.warmth1511]

did you know glen cant read a note of music

[@libertarianlife3651]

Burl Ives... the maoist commie man.. true un-American MARXIST ALL THE WAY.

[@carlaaustin6054]

I always enjoyed Burl Ives specials.

[@rolanddunk5054]

Glorious,such talented entertainment.

[@AndrewVelonis]

What a wonderful combo!

[@rizzlerazzleuno4733]

Thanks for uploading this. Nice to know that as long as KZbin lasts these classic moments will be available. I never saw this on TV so this is a real treat. 🙂👍

[@brendanwilliams7291]

Great stuff, two great singers gone but not forgotten.😀👍

[@LuzDillon]

How much talent wows, sure miss those days.

[@patriciajrs46]

Glen, he started without you! Your harmony was verg good. Burl was very good, too. Their harmonies together were very nice. Thanks for this.

[@lilnipayer1992]

To me ,my children and their kids Burl Ives's voice will always be one of the most important and happiest parts of Christmas. Love Glenn also :D

[@DaleKalk]

These new youngsters do not come close to what we enjoyed in our day!!!

[@jjson775]

Amazing! Glen Campbell was the best duet singer ever. Terrific with everybody

[@darenlausterer1214]

fantastic legendary burl Ives and Glen.......... great sounds...

[@NormAppleton]

Sorry, that's sounds like COMMUNISM

[@b1skol95]

Bought an old 8 track player from a yard sale. I had to grease all the moving parts and the motor. Once things got loosened up I played Burl Ives Greatest hits, the 8 track that came with it. Listened to it over and over again trying to work in this old machine again. Now i'm hooked!!

[@BruceTheSillyGoose]

god bless you for rescuing the old music from oblivion :D

[@patriciajrs46]

Good for you! He was a wonderful talent and I don't remember ever hearing any bad thing about him.

[@b1skol95]

[@35sixer]

Real music, real talent.

[@mccloudfrank]

Awesome Medley!! "Jesse James", "Cool Water", "Billy The Kid" and "John Henry" sung by Burl Ives & Glen Campbell - Great guitar pickin' and singin'

I've been time traveling Glen all over YT. This guy's musical talent was magnificent. Ad Astra Glen.

When God made these two iconic figures of American music and actors He threw away the mold for they don't make 'em like Glen and Burl any more.

[@steveroberts8719]

Beg to differ. He sold millions of records. Won a best supporting actor Oscar. Appeared in concert all over Europe and the USA. Music tastes change--but his songs and recordings are forever.

[@allan4923]

The only reason Burl Ives could be underestimated is by the youth of today who have not heard of him. Burl and Glen are giants to us that have.

[@Einstein1414]

Burl Ives was a God...a great friend of Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger. A damn great actor also...

[@eliredeker2691]

+Stacey Hershfield He was no friend to Pete. They hated each other for most of their lives!

[@markl.3074]

+Eli Redeker Burl hated no one.

[@eliredeker2691]

I assume he sold out the folksingers to mccarthy out of the goodness of his heart!

[@markl.3074]

.....cry us a river.....

[@60Cascade]

+Eli Redeker Burl Ives didn't sell out anyone to McCarthy. As he said at the time he was forced to do something he didn't want to do, but he had no choice. Alot of people were hurt by the blacklist. Those who were blacklisted and those who were forced to testify against their will. He named Pete Seeger as someone who "might" have communist ties. He wasn't telling them anything they didn't already know. Pete Seeger played on Burl Ives 1959 album Return Of The Wayfaring Stranger and Ives and Seeger did a reunion concert together shortly before Ives passed away.
