366 Artists In 366 Days : Day 38 Number 329 Tiny Tim

There's not much I can say about Tiny Tim (or Herbert Khaury, as his mum knew him), but here are a few titbits...
  • In 1969 he married 'Miss Vicki' Mae Budinger, live on Johnny Carson's The Tonight Show, with a viewing audience of more than 20 million
  • His early recordings were backed by a band who eventually became.. The Band
  • He appears on The Beatles' 1968 Christmas Record, with a rendition of 'Nowhere Man'
  • He died onstage in 1996, after suffering a massive heart attack, whilst performing at a Gala Benefit at the Women's Club of Minneapolis



Here he is making a guest appearance on Ironside...
