I was born in 71, but my parents, aunt and cousin had a formidable record collection that my sister and I was allowed to play and we pretty much spent every rainy day just playing records and singing and or dancing.
Burl Ives made no pretensions. He was one of those people who genuinely CARED about people. He lived in a very modest house in the foothills. He did not desire a great big mansion. He just wanted to live a good life and teach people young and old the lessons of life and how to be good people. Anyone was free to visit Burl at his home. He embraced people with open arms. Today, he would drive a 1989 Chevy Suburban and a pickup truck. Just a regular joe. Burl always had something meaningful to teach everybody. TRUE "light workers" are humble and caring. They don't exhalt themselves on high and wear gaudy robes like the so-called "ascended masters" do. Many of them are humble, outspoken and kind. Look up the actor "Dick York", and you'll see another person who really was a tried and true "light worker." Like Burl Ives, Dick York genuinely CARED about people.
Hi there from Australia. I wrote a book years ago for a close friend. Book Of Nicholas. I asked Him one day what HE sounds like when HE could sing His reply was in another song I AM THE BOSS. Another Burl Ives song. Really nice and funny . A person before his time as so many special people are. I have only discovered Burl in recent years as we were too poor to afford music machines or records when I was young His songs are often time more uplifting than religious songs. He came to Australia just before I was born, but not to Queensland, only Melbourne. The computer has opened the lost world for me. Chris T.

Burl Ives had a formidable stage presence, and yet his humility and kindness, and most of all his sense of humanity and strong faith came out in every song he did. This song is very meaningful and melancholy, as it is about the wars of history, the graveyards where young men died throughout the centuries. When will we ever learn? Never, not so long as we live in this fallen world. JJF Vietnam Vet 1967-68. RIP my brothers.
@@johnnnoise Nobody is perfect, and I guess he was wrong to testify against Seeger, but it is what it is, and we have to also consider other aspects of burl Ives. I have a few skeletons in my own closet, so I am not in a position to cast stones.
@@josephflanagan2527 But he was so much more than those Christmas songs. He had been a Stage presence for over 40 years. If you see the movie "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" he was Big Daddy. Very worth watching.
I got to see him in concert when I was a small child. He played for my older brothers' elementary school. My mom took me out of Kindergarten to hear him. I still love him from this over 45 years ago.
A beautiful thoughtfìiied version of this. An old man looking back in despair, saddened that he knows he hasn't seen people learning. Peter, Paul and Mary's versiom is one of young people looking around at the futility of war, but in their naivety hoping for a change.
amis américains vous pouvez être tres fiers de Burl Ives, pour moi le plus grand acteur bien supérieur à tant d'autres et un chanteur magnifique. American friends you could be very proud of Burl Ives because he is the greatest actor than ever and of course a nice singer
i heard this as a teenager but never payed attention to the lyrics . Hearing this beautiful version and listening to the words I teared up since my uncle was killed as a POW during a bombing raid in Austria .
I guess it was late '80s when we got free tickets to see him in concert in Miami Beach. It was so poorly advertised we didn't even know about it until the day... and we worked across the street. The auditorium was almost empty (about 30 people... probably mostly freebies). Anyway, he came out saw the tiny "crowd" and waved everybody close to the stage. He chatted with the folks, sang a load of songs, and and didn't just try to bail out. He was as gracious and entertaining as you could ever imagine. Just great.
One of my fave songs, especially by The Kingston Trio. Burl Ives does a magnificent job with this, aswell. The melody and the first three verses were written by Pete Seeger in 1955 and published in Sing Out! magazine. Additional verses were added in May 1960 by Joe Hickerson, who turned it into a circular song.
I was watching this old western movie with my grandpa on TV, and heard some ballads of his ballads, then decided to ask my grandpa who he was, now here I am
I've been a fan of Burl Ives since childhood. I was born in '58, and by the mid '60s I was into a lot of the music I heard around my home. Both of my parents had varied tastes in music, so, I grew up listening to all sorts of styles of music. My father was the bigger fan of Ives and played his records, often. Particular songs stood out as favorites, A Little Bitty Tear, Big Rock Candy Mountain, My Grandfather's Clock (which always made me cry. As did, Puff The Magic Dragon -PPM. I guess I was a sensitive child. Lol.). I loved the music of Burl Ives, and his voice was so different from that of the male vocalists my Italian mother loved (Sinatra, Bennett, Martino, Vale, Prima, etc. These were my mother's "Italian Boyfriends"). Because I had three older siblings (the eldest who was 12 years older than I), I listened to a lot of the current pop/rock they listend to. I was fortunate to be surrounded by music thoughout my childhood and encouraged to explore new music, as well as, different genres. I've been a lifelong music junkie, and thanks to platforms such as UA-cam music, and my record collection, I can listen to the music I've loved for the past 60 years, which includes the legendary, Burl (Big Daddy) Ives.
Burl Ives had a truly beautiful voice like a choir boy. He also is one of the few people I've seen who can ride a donkey and play a banjo at the same time.
The military industrial complex never stop learning,and young men and women pay the price.The rewards for the investors are great,and the World soldiers on.
Love this man's singing, especially with the sea shanties. But his performance of this song may very well be my favorite! It's unfortunate that many in my generation will only ever know his Christmas songs, and not even know his name and other performances.
Pete Seeger & Ives made up at the end of their lives. They were close when they were young & sang together. But Ives developed a big singing career & didn't want that to stop. Ives testified before the House Un-American comittee & named names. Amongst the names he gave was Pete Seeger's name. This ended Seeger's professional career for years. They never spoke again till Pete offered to play his banjo & sing with him at a school concert. Seeger said it was time to let go of the past & be friends again.
When I hear Burl Ives sing, in addition to his music, I think of his role as Big Daddy in CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF. I learned a new word from Big Daddy: Mendacity, one of my favorites. Don't know what means? Look it up!
The lyrics of this beauty was entirely borrowed from Cossack folk-song "Koloda-Duda", referenced in the Mikhail Sholokhov novel "And Quiet Flows the Don" (1934), which Seeger had read in-flight. So the song text originated from exact region torn by current Ukraine-Russia War...
How many of you know what this song is about? Where it came from? It's true sentiment... We Hallow and Praise our Veterans... But it would be Far Better if we quit making so many of them with Stupid Wars we can't win.
AND HE STARRED IN THE MOVIE= THE BIG COUNTRY= AS CHUCK CONNORS FATHER WHO LIVED IN THE CANYON AND PAID THE ULTIMATE PRICE AT THE END ON THAT MOVIEmpppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp
1974, when t.v. finally went color full time in most places, and when even 45 singles were mostly now in stereo. I'm only 52, but I remember as a kid we had a black and white t.v. and remember when my dad took me to the store and bought our first color t.v., the first one I saw. That would have been about 1975/76. Also, in 1974 Nixon had yet to be run off, and the Dems had yet to win the midterms. The Vietnam war was over and the U.S. and it's allies had won. The freedom and independence of the Republic of South Vietnam had been preserved. Then, sadly came 1975, the backstabbing of south Vietnam by U.S. Marxist Dems and the beginning of de-industrialization and globalization and the killing of the western middle class.
A lovely song sung by a lovely man. But the lyrics make no sense to me. The only part that made any sense is the husbands becoming soldiers and dying and when will they ever learn to stop war! But the rest of the lyrics made no sense. A young girl picking flowers. A young girl taking a husband. A graveyard turning to flowers. When will these things ever learn what?
Oh how I remember this lovely man. I recall seeing him performing at the Theatre Royal in Stratford London E15 and Pete Seeger was also there . That was more than 50 years ago I never forgot him and used to sing his songs to my grandson
Countless lives throughout History, have been taken, destroyed, damaged irreparably for Centuries, all in the name of 'Religion'.... It saddens me most immensely, that so-called 'Humans', can still to this day, be so cruel...... There is so much beauty in this World, yet to be seen/felt/observed......

I bet he was such a nice man all the way to his core
When I was 8 he came to our school to sing to us and smile at us - I am 73 and still remember!!
@@nancyallen628 Nancy, how fortunate you and your schoolmates were to have had that experience.
This is my favorite version of the song. So much heart
Burl's voice was instantly recognizable. He was always so comforting to listen to. Takes me right back to the 1960's!
I was born in 71, but my parents, aunt and cousin had a formidable record collection that my sister and I was allowed to play and we pretty much spent every rainy day just playing records and singing and or dancing.
"Love his voice!"
So beautiful, made me cry
Wish everyone could watch this but would it make difference l don’t think so.
When will they ever learn ,never ❤😢
2019😍
Possibly an Angel unaware. I think I met him once in a store in Houston in 1970's.
i dont get it. i cant stand country music. but i love Burl. never got why. only other i listen to is all metal

it's a Pete Seeger song. Burl Ives testified against Pete Seeger in the McCarthy hearings.

@@johnnnoise And that means what?
Quite agree John. He sings this number with a touching combination of simplicity and deep emotion.
With Ukraine, this song is relevant once again. 😭
He was born and raised, buried near here, have visited his grave, buried next to his parents. A great man.
I would love to meet Burl in the Forever Realm. One of my favorite people!
@@jrnfw4060 what is the forever realm?
@@jacksparrow1057 Eternity.
I love it
❤so much
By far the best version of this moving song , sung by a true gentleman RIP Burl.
This was shown on network tv. Prime time.
Burl Ives: Millennials and Generation Z'ers may have never heard his name, but once they hear his voice, they know immediately who he is.
But.....I’m 17 and I know him too......feelings have been hurt. Me am now sad 😫
I mean... yeah. They play that Rankin-Bass Rudolph special every year!
@@TheTrainGuy1355 I think it's awesome someone your age knows who Burl Ives is.
The unofficial voice of Christmas
@@josephflanagan2527 But he was so much more than those Christmas songs. He had been a Stage presence for over 40 years. If you see the movie "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" he was Big Daddy. Very worth watching.

This wonderful man came to our school to sing to us!. He was so kind. Her cared about children
Wonderful story.
Beautiful song and a beautiful voice.
i heard this as a teenager but never payed attention to the lyrics . Hearing this beautiful version and listening to the words I teared up since my uncle was killed as a POW during a bombing raid in Austria .
I also am listening closely to the words now. Thank you for sharing
Thats your business and whoever was involved. Keep that to yourself.
@SHOWLINE thanks for your kind comment
@SHOWLINE so glad you enjoyed my music and thanks for the nice comment.
Beautiful rendition of a timeless classic. They will never learn.
So true. ....pushing hard for WWIII now. Demonic. the whole thing. So sick and evil.

coincidentally he also testified against Pete Seeger during the red scare. neat huh?
This man was one of the best.
I was watching this old western movie with my grandpa on TV, and heard some ballads of his ballads, then decided to ask my grandpa who he was, now here I am
Many thanks for posting this great video, remembering seeing years ago!
He will forever be my Frosty the snowman. Such a strong and emotional voice.
Actually, it was Sam the Snowman.
@@rmg3red17 Yeah, Frosty was Jackie Vernon.
Jimmy Durante narrated Frosty the Snowman. Burl Ives narrated Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer
And Sam the Snowman
Good to see, everyone knew my daddy 💗💕💖💕
What an amazing talent. I love his Kentucky Turkey Buzzard. He had a style all his own. He was great in Cat on a hot tin roof ,with Taylor and Newman.
That's what I always call him. Big Daddy. I love Burl Ives.
I am afraid the answer is, “Never.” His voice always brought a certain comfort.

Truly one of American music's greatest artists.Burl Ives had a mesmerizing voice!
I really like his singing n acting
This brings so memories, such happy memories. Ok grew up on Burl Ives much, he was such an incredible talent. 💖💖💖💖
I can say I drank a pint in his company in Limerick Ireland in 1964, l confess I was under age
Burl Ives had a truly beautiful voice like a choir boy. He also is one of the few people I've seen who can ride a donkey and play a banjo at the same time.
I remember him from the50s - songs we could always sing along with.
I Love this song so much.... especially sang by Burl Ives

What bigger man are you
No one better.
Imagine seeing this in b&w. Many people still had b&w when this aired. Real haunting
Amazing voice. 2019.

Great song about the sad futility of war.
I love Burl Ives' singing but this version is over-orchestrated, really detracts from the effect of the song, for me anyway. Glad he did it though.
I seen this show on TV many years ago burl Ives had a great voice
Lovely singer and great actor too. See him in The Big Country , or Cat on hot tin roof

Burl lived in Pallaskenry County Limerick Ireland, was a outstanding musician and Songwriter May He Rest In Peace
I liked Peter Paul and Mary's version but I think this is better.
1974, when t.v. finally went color full time in most places, and when even 45 singles were mostly now in stereo. I'm only 52, but I remember as a kid we had a black and white t.v. and remember when my dad took me to the store and bought our first color t.v., the first one I saw. That would have been about 1975/76.
Also, in 1974 Nixon had yet to be run off, and the Dems had yet to win the midterms. The Vietnam war was over and the U.S. and it's allies had won. The freedom and independence of the Republic of South Vietnam had been preserved.
Then, sadly came 1975, the backstabbing of south Vietnam by U.S. Marxist Dems and the beginning of de-industrialization and globalization and the killing of the western middle class.

A lovely song sung by a lovely man. But the lyrics make no sense to me. The only part that made any sense is the husbands becoming soldiers and dying and when will they ever learn to stop war! But the rest of the lyrics made no sense. A young girl picking flowers. A young girl taking a husband. A graveyard turning to flowers. When will these things ever learn what?
Those who saw the Marlene Dietrich version …
And so... the ever turning wheel of life goes round and round. If you're lucky, your round is sprinkled with cinnamon and spice, and everything nice.
I think this is on the Johnny Cash Show
Oh how I remember this lovely man. I recall seeing him performing at the Theatre Royal in Stratford London E15 and Pete Seeger was also there . That was more than 50 years ago I never forgot him and used to sing his songs to my grandson
Love this song.
Sam the Snowman finally melted :(
We will 'never' learn..... as long as there is Religion sorry!!!....
Countless lives throughout History, have been taken, destroyed, damaged irreparably for Centuries, all in the name of 'Religion'.... It saddens me most
immensely, that so-called 'Humans', can still to this day, be so cruel......
There is so much beauty in this World, yet to be seen/felt/observed......
God bless you Mr Burl Ives top
War is bad ! except when you defend you're country ! Long live Ukraine !
