Disney Legend Fulton Burley

Disney Legend Fulton Burley, June 12, 1922 – May 7, 2007, performed as an Irish tenor at Disneyland’s Golden Horseshoe Revue from 1962 to 1987. His is also the voice of “Michael,” one of the macaw hosts of Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room.

Burley was born in Tipperary and raised in Ontario, coming to the United States in 1943 after landing a singing lead in the Broadway musical, Diamond Horseshoe Revue. He continued to tour the United States after World War Two, performing primarily in musical comedies. It was during this time that Burley honed what would become a near-legendary repertoire of jokes.
