1951 HITS ARCHIVE: On Top Of Old Smoky - Burl Ives & Percy Faith descargar videos gratis

On Top Of Old Smoky (Seeger) by Percy Faith & his Orchestra and Chorus, with Burl Ives (CD audio source)

Posting all three versions of this old folk song that achieved a top-ten ranking on at least one of Billboard's weekly singles charts (see also Vaughn Monroe and The Weavers). Though this record was patterned after the arrangement that Pete Seeger had created for the Weavers, Burl Ives fans may be familiar with the 1946 film "Smoky" in which he sang a different set of lyrics to the same melody under the opening and closing credits. A clip montage of Ives' songs from that movie is posted elsewhere on YouTube.
