Thread Name: 2004 Obit: Woody Woodpecker (Walter Lantz)
Subject: RE: Obit: Woody Woodpecker
Harry Babbitt was the laugh of Woody Woodpecker only on the Kayser version of the Woody Woodpecker Song...period...finish.

But Babbitt really is not known for that song. He was the guy singer for Kyser for years, a terrific crooner and all-around singer. For many years he had his own local television show in Los Angeles during the infancy of the medium. Additionally he performed on all or most of the local charity raising telethons.
