What a voice: Glad I got to be back stage one night at the Opry when Slim and his son was there, I charming guy and also his son and what a special voice.
Beautiful song, beautifully sung, beloved by my parents - both very much missed and who I look forward to meeting again one day, God Willing. Nearly brought a tear to my eye. Thank you for the memories!
I just saw 70 comments, just made that age and I love the older songs and singers (pre-70's) compared to the (mostly) rubbish they call music we get these days.
My all time favorites for only love songs. Jim Reeves, Slim Whitman, Hank Williams, Patsy Cline, Hank Locklin. It was a wonderful time when their music began. Now harsh rock has infected country. One octave screamers cover no talent.
83 years has lots of regrets. Wish SW had recorded a DVD. Wish he had recorded "WALTZ ACROSS TEXAS" & some Orbison hits.Wish I had met both like I met J. Cash in Ventura. Sad to read obits of all my favorites.Slim's octave range is amazing. His "MAKING BELIEVE" tops my love songs list.
Music from my youth that you could sing along with and understand the words. I realized now how many of my favorites were sung by Slim. They are still great to listen to and sing along with. Amazing how the words come back after so many decades.
