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.

I resemble that remark.

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

[sodpoodle]

Yes.

“They blew up Congress....HA HA HA HA!”

[dfwgator]

He sold more records than Elvis and the Beatles combined.....in Albania.

Wasn't he also in "Gone with the Wind"?

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.

 

 

And don't forget Dr. Strangelove.

 

 

 

Slim was Great!

I thought he looked a bit like Henry Waxman.

That ain’t Slim Whitman that’s Slim PICKENS!, you wall-eyed buffalo molester.

"Well I am depressed."

[TigersEye]

Here ya go, feller. This'll cheer you right up.

There's no better way to make FRiends than to share a meal together.

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.’
