A blast I remember from the far distant past...when music was completely "different"!... :D ...!

A good outing at 90!

The link doesn't respond for me but I recall my foster mom's mother (passed away many moons ago) got one of his TV ad albums.

Both George Harrison and Paul McCartney said that Slim Whitman was one of their earliest inspirations to pursue music. And Slim encouraged a very young Elvis Presley who was just starting in show business. Whether you liked Slim Whitman's songs or not, he had a profound influence on popular music, achieved a lot in his life.
