Bigger than Elvis; Bigger than The Beatles

Post by howard »

Deader than Dillinger.

Slim Whitman, Yodeling Country Singer With a Regular-Guy Image, Dies at 90

If you were over 50yo, you'd know who the hell he was, and why he is deserving of his own thread. Trust me.

I will update link when NY Times or LA Times posts obit.
Who knows? Maybe, you were kidnapped, tied up, taken away and held for ransom.

Those days are gone forever
Over a long time ago
Oh yeah…

He wrote Leaves of Grass, right?

I have faint childhood memories of seeing these commercials all the time trying to sell the Slim Whitman collection for 4 small payments of 9.99 or some shit.

More weeks at #1 than Elvis or the Beatles in England? England officially lost all credibility as an arbiter of good music. That was horrible.
