I've got that piece of Thurl Ravenscroft to last me for a lifetime. Amazing how sad people get with the deaths of older people who've had long careers. Remember, Mr. Ravenscroft WAS 91 years old! Not many people live that long OR have the kind of impact and notoriety he had so anonymously. There's nothing sad about that at all! On the other hand, when you have someone young die who HASN'T had a chance to live to their potential, that's sad.

It's insane to think that... even though probably few people could recognize him by name, he's been a part of SO MANY American's lives through his voice work.
