Thurl Arthur Ravenscroft (February 6, 1914 – May 22, 2005) was an American voice actor and singer with a deep, booming voice. For 53 years, he was best-known as the voice of Tony the Tiger in more than 500 television commercials for Kellogg's Frosted Flakes (also known as "Frosties"). After his death, Lee Marshall replaced him as the voice of Tony the Tiger in the Kellogg's commercials.
Ravenscroft was the vocalist of the song "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" in the Christmas television special based on the Dr. Seuss classic How the Grinch Stole Christmas!. His name was accidentally left off of the credits, however, leading many to believe (erroneously) that the cartoon's narrator, Boris Karloff, sang the song. Ravenscroft also sang No Dogs Allowed in the Peanuts animated motion picture Snoopy, Come Home.
I too thought it was Boris Karloff, so it was a great question as it cleared it up for everyone. :-)
Its too bad his name couldn't be added into the credits to give him the recognition he so richly deserved even if posthumously.
The original Tony the Tiger! And star of many other voiced characters and commercials.
Thule Ravenscroft, he died recently at age 91.
