Tiny Tim: The Man Behind The Ukulele

[Cosmic Harmony]

In honor of me buying a ukulele today I think it's fitting for arguable the most famous ukulele player ever to get his thread bumped.

Take that Marty McFly! Tiny Tim doesn't choke in the middle of the song like you did.

 

[Cosmic Harmony]

I have been absolutely loving this song lately. It's short, sweet and ever so charming.

I don't mean to bulldoze your Tiny Tim thread Harmony but I was just listening to 10 cc and the singer also has such a falsetto voice ................

Another cut from "For All My Little Friends"

What The World Needs Now Is Love

Aww I've loved that song ever since I first heard it in Austin Powers and Tiny's version is so sweet. He plays on my heartstrings ever so. :

 

[METALPRIEST]

Good version right???

 

[Cosmic Harmony]

Oh absolutely.

And while we're on a roll, an excerpt from the the very limited release "Live at the Royal Albert Hall" from Tiny's prime in '68 and his only live album with an orchestra...





Back in those days songs really did have such wonderful lyrics. It's a shame that they would probably be considered "lame" by today's standards.
