[@alexives1]

Thanks very much for posting this ! ! ! Wonderful taste of Dad onstage. felt like home.

[@MimreTV]

OMG, you are Burl' Ives' son. Woah, glad you enjoyed it 🙂😀

[@dreallday675]

I got so excited when I saw this Alex!!! Warmed my heart to see Papa on stage with that full orchestra and his interaction with the audience!!!🤗💜🎤🎼

[@davewanamaker3690]

He must have performed everywhere. He even sang at the University of Northern Iowa (Cedar Falls) in 1978 or so, I think. I wish I had the chance to see him. He was a legend.

[@marlenesullivan3113]

​@@MimreTVI REALLY ENJOYED... THX

[@theresahealy6176]

Lovely you've seen this, Alex. 😊

[@ellisc.foleyjr9778]

I'm an Octogenarian, and lived my whole life listening to this man, and Watching him on TV and in Movies. and even in Christmas Cartoons. (Frosty the Snowman to name one) always loved his humor, wit, and intelligence. they don't make em like that anymore. God speed Burls and thanks for a lifetime of Joy. ECF

[@terrymcnamara1099]

I don't think he voiced in Frosty, but he was the snow man in Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer. Merry 🎄

[@ClifffsVictory]

Nice comment. Same here for memories from another octogenarian. Simpler times, more trust , more belief in ‘the commons’.

[@kennethsmith8844]

Me too

[@discoveryman59]

Two of the most underrated singers were Burl Ives and Roger Whittaker! What an absolute treat this was!!

[@MimreTV]

We completely agree with you 😀🎸

[@raydrumgoole]

We love them so they live on

[@VidarLund-k5q]

I don't think they were underrated. Both were hugely popuplar, and still is well remembered. In the 1990s a CD collection of Burl's songs was awarded a platinum disc for good record sales here in Norway.

[@Phil-r6k]

My Dad said that he served in WWII with Burl Ives. Pop said that Ives would sing old, dirty folk songs!

[@StarshipTrooper2050]

He probably knew over 10,000 limericks and songs….

[@crosswordpuzzle2952]

It would never be Christmas without Burl Ives.

[@twraven1]

I’m 73. I was introduced to Burl Ives about 70 years ago through my father’s 78s which were in a multi jacket collection with a photo of Ives in his army uniform on the cover. I come from a family of singers. I learned all these songs by singing along with Burl Ives. I still know them from memory. A very important part of my education and development. Thanks Dad.

[@briankhorozian4692]

If God had the voice of a mortal man, it would surely be that of Burl Ives. What a treasure he was, and will always be.

[@jimmyb1559]

Beautiful comment.

[@MrDberrill]

What a marvelous entertainer, I'm in my early seventies and have had the fortune of listening to this man for many decades.

[@SomeBuddy777]

Same

[@janetcolyear8990]

I absolutely loved Burl Ives. And today I enjoy all his songs still!

[@Aztec73]

There will never be another Burl lives Rest in peace ✝️

[@boogiemorgan]

This man is a true legend! I have been fortunate to have lived in his life span! He has always fascinated me. He is an entertainer, as good as there is!

[@paulshea3728]

My Dad had all his records.Thank you for the memories.

[@juliam.mallen9019]

Rudolph would not have been so magical without this amazing creative talent! Huge part of my childhood memories 💕

[@jimmyb1559]

So true. He is a big part of Christmas.

[@spiritguided655]

He was a big part of my childhood. Absolutely beautiful to hear him now. Thank you.

[@keithwilson6060]

Ditto. Burl’s singing voice was the background music of my childhood. We had several of his children’s albums and almost wore them out.

[@GrethaKjellin]

Marianne❤

[@sheilatruax6172]

He was in "Sierra" with Audie Murphy. You heard his voice before you saw him. Miss him! His singing is what makes me happy to see "Rudolph" every year!

[@FrancesMatthewJones-sz8rd]

I grew up listening to him; always enjoyed his songs. They were fun song...Thanks for his playbacks.

[@burllaw7561]

I grew up listening to this man and all his songs. My pop loved this man's music so much he named after him. And I'm proud of my name too.

[@timburr4453]

Happy Happy Joy Joy He is the voice of America...the sweetest most pleasant man, wonderful lyrics, I wish I could go back in time and see him perform again

[@saltydog4787]

Brilliant ,,, thanks for posting, I'm 77 and have always loved his works. From Australia.

[@MimreTV]

Glad you enjoyed it 😊

[@bobshuebop6925]

You always leave with a smile and feeling upbeat after listening to Burl Ives, sure not the case anymore with rap. We need WAY more Burls Ives and WAY fewer Puff Daddys

[@jimmyb1559]

Amen. 👍

[@tommylamb5306]

Very distinguished voice! And grew up listening to it! It’s one that won’t leave you if you hear it you will know exactly who it is! Very fitting tribute!

[@johnwilson3606]

A gentle giant and a music wordsmith

[@jimrowell4202]

Hard to believe! Living on the farm in Central North Dakota 1960 to 1963..its was the worst of times! Unbelievable snow storms each year! Listening to Burl was like listening to you coach! It's going to be ok! He had a heart of Gold, the words from my mother. I thank God for all he did to make people's lives better. Time.time..time will never let memories of life let you down. Fight! To keep them close to your heart. Amen...😊 Frossty the snowman now makes me cry at 70...what a wonderful man. 😢

[@mikemarthaller8789]

I'm 83 this brings back memories and a smile

[@dreallday675]

True testimony to why Burl is called The Great American Balladeer!! What a phenomenal performance…In classic Burl fashion he does a sing-a-long, but with a full on Orchestra as back-up!!!

[@tomayrscotland6890]

Well done Burl Ives, I have listened to you alot in my day, I am 74 I still play my guitar. my Grandchildren have never heard me, the kids are 15 years old now...great entertainment...

[@gustavekabitzke2744]

When I was young about 8 years ild ,70 years ago, my dad gave me an album with the blue tail fly, froggy went a courting, and others.

[@barbaramills8833]

I met Burl Ives when I was 12 yrs old; I was so in awe I could hardly speak.

[@jimmymiller77]

This is what I listen to when I was a kid. Where did this kind of music go ?? As for me the radio just broadcast sewage today. Just saying.. Thanks a million for the fantastic post.

[@stevev238]

Totally agree. Good music seems to have died in the mid 70s.

[@VidarLund-k5q]

This kind of music and related styles are played all the time, but the media don't care to broadcast it. Not considered commercial enough I guess. He returned for a show of his own later. This was part of the Op' Sail 1978 show. Great stuff.

[@ericberman4193]

Remarkable singer, musician and actor!!!

[@richardbooth4573]

I'm surprised to hear and see this old timer still kicking . Hes come a long way since his first hit , John Henry way back . My parents had a best of album I loved to play on the record player. I'm 70 now some 60 years later. loved him then and love to hear him now. God bless him !

[@FTorre-br1tx]

We all miss the great Mr. Burl Ives. He was also a great actor and kind man.

[@andrewkmak5722]

Man, there is no mistaking his voice. He was a master of it, and he sang so wonderfully.

[@georgepierson4920]

He was a master of his own voice? I bloody hope so.

[@RajuPalat-qy9gm]

At 77, today 6.8.23, I remember the happiness when listening to you, on the radio, Radio Ceylon, here in India. Thank you

[@jimmyb1559]

I’ve listened to Mr. Ives all my life. And my life has been better for it.

[@fred6132]

My heart is warmed and my spirit is lifted by this. Talent is clearly defined by the beauty of his voice and the depth of his wisdom. I miss you Burl!

[@kentuckyblugrass]

I can't hear this man's voice without being absolutely flooded with emotions. God Bless

[@rustys9190]

I have a 5 box cd set of burl Ives,,,I saw Burl Ives with mom,,in 1985 before he died,,here in illinois

[@thecowfy]

His music(art) entered the soul of the western civilization, when it was still civilized. Just a pleasure enjoy hearing him again.

[@annesmith6582]

Nov.11.2024 . LOVE LOVE LOVE BURL IVES !! THANK YOU FOR POSTING HIM !!!

[@mickmcnulty8200]

Nov13. 2024. I think people under a certain age have never heard of him, and us over a certain age can never forget him.

[@jamiekatz7591]

I have always admired Burl Ives his music and mellow voice has thrilled people of all ages light hearted and whimsical sound will last forever. Now I know at least one thing to get my grandson of two years for Christmas!!! Thanks for the post.

[@StepDub]

The man with gold in his voice.

[@jillchandler8532]

I have two of his kid's records from when I was a kid in the 60's-70's. Drove my mom and sister crazy listening over and over wearing out the record!

[@petertonies4334]

Wish Burl would have sung "Silver and Gold" 🎅🏼🎄🤶🏻 this song is a trip back in time to 1960s and 1970s Christmas magical times❣️ maybe one day again in Heaven with Mom & Dad and all ❄️☃️❤️💚

[@ColleenDixon-x4k]

Back in the 60's , I walked arm in arm with him . A small fair was at Suva street park in Bell Gardens, California.

[@zathrasnotzathras9435]

I grew up listening to this wonderful man. Of course he’s always the Rudolph snowman to me but my parents made sure I heard his other works also. Thank you for posting this. I hate to think this man may be forgotten to time.

[@cherylmburton5577]

I remember him that way also. He was the narrator voice and singer for the original Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer Christmas Special. They even made the roly poly snowman narrator look like him, and Norelco shaver Company was the show sponsor. Kids waited all year to see it once and we had black and white TV. My parents also had some of his records. My mother would sing along with him.

[@janeclarkson8471]

My dad was a big fan of Burl Ives. I remember him playing his records when I was a child in the 1950's. I remember too, him singing The Big Rock Candy Mountain on a children's wireless programme. Then "The Big Country" great film and the shoot out in Blanco Canyon. He was such a presence in that film. I loved his style of singing and a such a good actor. So talented and natural effortless style. I remember all these songs. Children loved these. Oh! And The Big Rock Candy Mountain and Therecwas an Old Lady. Omg they're all coming back. Thank you Burl and for this being posted. Wish my dad was here to see it! I've always found Burl Ives underrated. Hope more can be posted on KZbin. Happy that his children have seen this and given them joy! 👌❤️🤗⚡️🎶🙏🏻

[@HankLogsdon]

Thanks for this. I listened to Burl Ives when I was a kid in the 70s. This really brings back great memories.😊🎄☃️❄️⛄️🇺🇸

[@MimreTV]

[@MimreTV]

Our pleasure! 😀🤓

[@roseogrady8785]

Thank You. What a good Actor as well as a Vocalist... The Far Country with Gregory Peck.. at his best.

[@lyndafaye6748]

Thanks for the MOVIE TITLE REMINDER; YES, YES ACTING TOO. HOW CUTE! Yes, we had a 288 acre farm in Illinois, and we always had to go out to PRIME THE PUMP to water the horses! Great tasting water , by the way; hope that continues! Whenever I hear artists such as Burl Ives, I think about how MOST of the contestants on those CONTESTS wherein they compare apples to oranges to find their winners...and how EACH SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO AT LEAST PLAY ONE INSTRUMENT ADEQUATELY. Yelling in microphones in sexy dresses, has never been considered to be TALENT by most of the experts! RIP MR. IVES. Didn't Mr. Ives also sing a rendition of "Little Girls?" John Prine as well as SoundCloud's CHUCK AARON come to mind, for their great expertise in LYRICS with appropriate accompaniments. Chuck has a great song about we the baby boomer age crowd..." I Don't like Tomorrow, Today' " " A Wretch Like Me" and "You're the Reason I'm Not Married!" The Illinois Harmony Connection (FredGold&LyndaFaye) LyndaFayeSmusic@Yahoo&Bandcamp.

[@martingrey4904]

First heard Burl Ives on BBC Radio light programme in the early 50’s and have loved him ever since

[@paulevans3827]

This man was a legend in every respect. I’m so glad I came across this video.‼️👏🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@roncaruso931]

What a talented man. We don't see talent like his anymore.

[@EannaButler]

Thank you for this, love from Ireland 👍

[@donjeep1937]

This is an undiscovered treasure on KZbin. His acting talent was only surpassed by his music. Ironic that his son got to enjoy Burt in his later years singing about TIME. WOW

[@keithoneil6711]

Just love all of his songs beautiful amazing voice

[@treywest268]

Thank you so much for sharing this video! Burl Ives is an American icon!!!

[@MimreTV]

We totally agree! 😀🤓

[@johnschwalenberg278]

Saw him in 1977 , had a great time .

[@arsnb9m907]

Burl got his start at WBOW in Terre Haute at the same time as my great uncle, Fielden Farrington. Both would stay nights at my great grandparents, where he enjoyed the same marvelous sugar cookies I did when I was a boy. Amazingly, Burl serenaded my mother and her sisters in their southern Illinois home years before my parents met. What are the chances? Thanks for posting this!

[@stephensmith60]

😊👏🏻🥂. That is rich! Good ole Burl Ives! I'm so lucky to be alive and to have experienced such wonderful people.

[@PeterOHalloran-hf2ho]

Burl ives a magnificent voice and a great character actor The Big Country and cat on a hot tin roof just two to mention

[@doncooper512]

..Love his Christmas songs..

[@ScottDMoore]

Im old enough to remember life before the internet. This gen is missing so much, but has everything at the touch of a button knowing nothing. No one wants to converse or say hello on the street only argue about what they are entitled too. They just walk with their heads down in that phone stance... Im so sad for what my grandkids are facing. This is an utterly exceptional video guys, thank you.

[@carl77242]

I remember him when I was younger 😊🎉❤

[@joluttringer4450]

What a nice and clean "voice & guitar sound" on stage : congratulations to/for the sound engineer - Thanks for sharing, dear Mimre-TV. Best wishes from France. JO

[@MimreTV]

Thanks for listening 🙂😀

[@wendyford3645]

This takes me back in years. I remember hearing Jimmy crack corn and Idon't care when I was about 4/5years old and only remembered the chorus. The other songs I have heard over the years. Particularly loved the seashanties he sang. I am now 80. Thank you for putting this on KZbin.

[@mrnemesisis9112]

Burl ives is great

[@richardwiese9054]

This engenders nostalgic emotions filled with happiness.

[@VidarLund-k5q]

I was there! At the newly opened Oslo Concert Hall. He was well known here because his records were being played on radio.

[@mikegross6107]

I enjoyed this (and Burl Ives) so much that I Bookmarked it in order to listen and enjoy it again! Thank you so much and if you have anymore or Mr. Ives please post them! Thanks!

[@MimreTV]

Glad you enjoyed it! 😃

[@gregoryturner8469]

I've always enjoyed Burl Ives music. And he's also a great actor.
