My 90 year old parents listened to him some. He was also into some Christmas movies.

Wasn't he in "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof"? Big Daddy?

I'm pretty sure that in about 1972 when I was 8, I received a Captain Burl Ives Greatest Hits vinyl album. It was my FIRST album that was personally mine, and I kinda cherished it.

Ives was a very complex, interesting person that the public didn't really see. He was born in a small town in central Illinois near where I grew up. He was college football player, a WW2 veteran, a dedicated communist (until he flipped during the red scare hearings in the 1950's). He's best known for simple folk songs that almost seem like kids songs, but he was a much more sophisticated composer and musician.
