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.

Glad to see all of the Mars Attacks! references, I would have been very disappointed if they weren’t here.

But seriously, if you google, you'll find Slim in the Bogart movie To Have Or To Have Not.

I loved him in Blazing Saddles.

Slim was Great!

Insult him all you want, I still prefer him to all the so-called ‘artists’ that either (a) screech unintelligible lyrics to overloud accompaniment, or (b) spew the trash the they call ‘hip-hop’ or ‘rap.’
