Unfortunately I couldn't find any other information to double check this so if I am in fact mistaken, mea culpa.

If they sound vaguely familiar, it's because he also was the longtime voice of Tony the Tiger and his unmistakable bass vocals are also immortalized in the holiday classic "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" (he sang "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch". I believe he passed away within the last year or two. Those bass backing vocals on “Let Me Be There” and “If You Love Me (Let Me Know)” were provided by Thurl Ravenscroft.

Well, there you go--a little-known (or at least little-remembered) fact. I just saw that some poster on YouTube wrote that J.D. Sumner's low note at the end of "Way Down"--an octave below low C--was in the Guinness Book as the lowest sung note on record.<br><br>I have to say that, while the mid-70s were definitely the silly season on the pop charts, it was a great time to be an 8-to-10-year-old kid listening to the radio, as I was then. I'll love and defend that crap until I'm too old to remember it. Huh. Well, there you go–a little-known (or at least little-remembered) fact. I just saw that some poster on YouTube wrote that J.D.
