Per the Wikipedia article about Mr. Ravenscroft:
Thurl Arthur Ravenscroft...was an American voice actor and bass singer known as the booming voice behind Kellogg's Frosted Flakes animated spokesman Tony the Tiger for more than five decades. He was also the uncredited vocalist for the song "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" from the classic Christmas television special, Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas! //....His voice acting career began in 1940 and lasted until his death in 2005 at age 91....// One of Ravenscroft's best-known uncredited works is as the vocalist for the song "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch." His name was accidentally omitted from the credits, leading many to believe (erroneously) that the cartoon's narrator, Boris Karloff, sang the song, while others cited Tennessee Ernie Ford as the song's signature voice....// 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!!!!"....

That's g-r-r-r-eat!!!!, Gen.
Sad that this legend and his fine talent has come and gone, while most of us haven't realized the scope of his wonderfully professional career.
If not for Tony the Tiger and the Grinch to carry on for years to come, the debate will continue about whether or not Frosted Flakes and its imitation store brands are good for you or bad for you.
Just like milk, eggs, spinach, toast, tea, pancakes, waffles, maple syrup, cocoa, home fries, muffins, crackers and whatever else goes with breakfast, we are being told that they're good for you, no, bad for you, no, good for you, no, bad for you, no, good for you, no, bad for you, no, good for you, no, bad for you, no, good for you, no, bad for you, no, good for you in each and every report on healthy living, and very often, during the same report about what not to have for breakfast. No, wait, breakfasts are good for you or bad for you? Some would have to say, "They're g-r-r-r-eat!!!!"....

Whether or not Frosted Flakes physically are good for you, they're good for the taste buds.
I was surprised to discover that Mr. Ravenscroft died as recently as 2005, as I had never heard of him throughout all the years up to then.
"You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" certainly gets a lot of play every single holiday season, and probably perpetually will, therefore Mr. Ravenscroft's voice will live on indefinitely, in all its bass glory, via that song.
By the way, it never at all occurred to me that the man singing the aforementioned song was the same voice as Tony the Tiger, though you definitely can readily tell the voices are one and the same, once you already know.

I know! Talk about fine talent!
Just look at how many wonderful voices that Mel Blanc does--everybody from Bugs Bunny to Daffy Duck and Sylvester the Cat, from Foghorn Leghorn to Porky Pig, and from Barney Rubble to the Munsters' clock Raven.
They just don't make 'em like that anymore.

It never dawned on me, till finding out just the other year, that Mae Questel (thread about her here) provided the classic voices of both Betty Boop and Olive Oyl.
