Burl Icle Ivanhoe Ives was born in Jasper County, Illinois, in 1909. His father was a farmer and little Burl learned his first tunes at the elbow of his pipe-smoking grandmother. When his uncle and mother heard him singing in the garden one day, his uncle invited the tyke to sing for an old soldier's reunion in a nearby town. Burl's rendition of Barbara Allen impressed both his uncle and the old soldiers. Ives was a habitual joiner. He was a member of the Lone Scouts before the organization disbanded and was absorbed into the Boy Scouts of America.

As an actor, Ives's work included comedies, dramas, and voice work in theater, television, and motion pictures. Music critic John Rockwell said, "Ives's voice. had the sheen and finesse of opera without its latter-day Puccinian vulgarities and without the pretensions of operatic ritual. It was genteel in expressive impact without being genteel in social conformity.
