<P> Frees was born Solomon Hersh Frees in Chicago , Illinois , on June 22 , 1920 ; he grew up in the Albany Park neighborhood and attended Von Steuben Junior High School in Peoria . He had an unusually wide four - octave voice range that would enable him to voice everything from the thundering basso profondo of the unseen `` Ghost Host '' in the Haunted Mansion attraction at Disneyland in California and at Walt Disney World in Florida to the voice of the farmer who helps the Little Green Sprout ( voiced by Ike Eisenmann ) in the Green Giant vegetable commercials . </P>
