Entertainment Library hosts magic show Burl Ives performs in Goderich A legend of popular music will perform with Orchestra London in concert in Goderich Thursday night. Burl Ives, ballad singer, folk singer, actor, whose work spans four decades will appear at the Goderich District Collegiate Institute as part of the Goderich Rotary Club’s Winter Concert Series from Orche­ stra London. The great American poet Carl Sandberg once called Mr. Ives the “mightiest ballad singer of this or any other century’ ’. He became a recording artist popularizing folk music three decades before it was discovered by the young singers of the 1960’s. He went on to become popular on radio, in nightclubs and in concerts. He starred in 13 shows on Broadway then moved to Hollywood where he picked up an “Oscar’’ for his supporting role in “The Big Coun­ try” in 1958. He performed one of the classical parts of all time as * ‘ Big Daddy” in “CatOn a Hot Tin Roof”, a role he had originated on Broad­ way. He has also been active in environmental concerns, travelling across the continent helping esta­ blish an ecological ethic against pollution. Now 79 years old, he’s still actively entertaining people around the world. Tickets for the concert are avail­ able from various Goderich outlets. (See ad in last week’s paper).
