Editing Thurl Ravenscroft (section)

==Later career==
One of Ravenscroft's best-known works is as the vocalist for the song "[[You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch]]". He was accidentally uncredited, leading the song to be misattributed to [[Boris Karloff]] and [[Tennessee Ernie Ford]].<ref name="Grinch" /> The song, now credited to Ravenscroft, peaked on the U.S. [[Billboard Hot 100]] chart at number 32 for the week ending January 2, 2021.<ref>{{Cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/2021-01-02|title=The Hot 100 Chart|magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]}}</ref>

Ravenscroft sang "No Dogs Allowed" in the ''[[Peanuts]]'' animated motion picture ''[[Snoopy Come Home]]''.

For more than 50 years, he was the uncredited voice of [[Tony the Tiger]] for [[Kellogg's Frosted Flakes]].  His booming bass gave the cereal's tiger mascot a voice with the catchphrase "They're g-r-r-r-eat!!!!".<ref>{{cite news|title= He's 'G-r-r-r-eat!!!' : Tony the Tiger Voices Pleasure  |work= [[Los Angeles Times]]|date=May 3, 1987|url= https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1987-05-03-me-8443-story.html|access-date=March 23, 2012|first=Marcos|last=Breton}}</ref>

Various record companies, such as Abbott, Coral, Brunswick, and "X" (a division of [[RCA]]) also released singles by Ravenscroft, often in duets with little-known female vocalists, in an attempt to turn the bass-voiced veteran into a pop singer. These efforts were commercially unsuccessful, if often quite interesting. He was also teamed up with [[the Andrews Sisters]] (on the [[Dot Records]] album ''The Andrews Sisters Present'') on the cover of [[Johnny Cymbal]]'s "[[Mr. Bass Man]]". The Mellomen released some [[doo-wop]] records under the name Big John & the Buzzards, a name apparently given to them by the rock-and-roll-hating [[Mitch Miller]].

A devoted Christian, he appeared on many religious television shows such as ''[[The Hour of Power]]''.  In 1970, he recorded an album called ''Great Hymns in Story and Song'', which featured him singing 10 hymns, each prefaced with the stories of how each hymn came to be, with the background vocals and instrumentals arranged and conducted by [[Ralph Carmichael]].

In the 1980s and 1990s, Ravenscroft was narrator for the annual [[Pageant of the Masters]] art show at the [[Laguna Beach, California]], Festival of the Arts.
