KLEM FM


The song is childhood favorite of mine. It appeared on Disney's 1963 "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow." I like the zydeco accompaniment. There's an earlier version of the same song sung by Bing Crosby:


Thurl Ravenscroft's voice, familiar to many as the voice of Tony The Tiger ("They're Grrrreat") also sang the songs in "The Grinch Who Stole Christmas" (that was not Boris Karloff). Ravenscroft's voice still narrates the train ride at Disneyland.

Our president is an excellent barrytone. I wonder if he could do a Thurl Ravenscroft impression?

I always imagined the Grinch song being sung by Tennessee Ernie Ford.

Happy Halloween!
