Thurl Ravenscroft : (2) " It was hard to know if anything, any one particular thing, increased my career or not. " - Thurl Ravenscroft " To me, that’s when music was music. Every studio had a full symphonic orchestra and a whole bunch of singers they used on every picture. Every radio show had singers on it, and NBC and CBS had their own staff orchestras. Music was everything. And it was good music; it wasn’t based on three chords. " - Thurl Ravenscroft
