Randy Van Horne, whose vocal group the Randy Van Horne Singers performed the theme
songs for "The Flintstones," "The Jetsons" and several other popular television cartoons of the 1960s, has died at the age of 83.

The singing group, which included Thurl Ravenscroft (voice of Tony the Tiger and Fritz the parrot from the Enchanted Tiki Room) also recorded on many other artist's recordings. They provided the 'Zu-zu-zu,' 'Boink Boink,' 'Pow! Pow!' and other vocal sounds for all but one of Esquivel's RCA LPs, and the jungle tribal chorus sounds from Martin Denny's "Afro-Desia"

One of the members of the Randy Van Horne Singers was Thurl Ravenscroft, known better to us as the voice of Tony the Tiger and Fritz, the German accented parrot from the Enchanted Tiki Room.
