Ah, Mr W, you are still one of my musical heroes……
At 87 Slim Whitman is still around (though he heard rumours of his own death in 2008) but in the early 50s he was very big on the US country scene. In America he had faded in the charts by the end of the decade but he was always popular in Europe and frequently toured there.

One of his upstanding qualities was that he wasn’t a blog pimp.
