ahbez continued to supply cole with songs, including "land of love (come my love and live with me)", which was also covered by doris day and the ink spots. in 1949, he gave burl ives the idea to cover stan jones' "ghost riders in the sky" after overhearing jones recording his own version of the song. he worked closely with jazz musician herb jeffries, and, in 1954, the pair collaborated on an album, "the singing prophet", which included the only recording of ahbez's four-part "nature boy suite". the album was later reissued as "echoes of eternity" on jeffries' united national label. in the mid 1950s, he wrote songs for eartha kitt, frankie laine, and others, as well as writing some rock-and-roll novelty songs. in 1957, his song "lonely island" was recorded by sam cooke, becoming the second and final ahbez composition to hit the top 40.
