Tiny Tim ~ Do Ya Think I'm Sexy

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

I think its hard fo anyone to answer that question with a serious face. His sexiness is generally not accepted, but I'm sure there is SOMEONE out there who would answer yes to his question. Just wouldn't be me.

Thought I would be seeing him play this song with his signature ukelele. That was a pretty radical departure from his ususal demure persona stepping out as a frontman in sparkly suits.

For you youngsters who may not be familiar with him, Tim had some fame as a novelty act in the 60's and got married on the Johnny Carson Tonight show. The event drew more viewers than any other television broadcast except the moon landing.

Don't know how sexy he was but he did have a child and three wives. He died on stage doing what he loved.

If he were still around and say, in his early 20's, and he recorded this, it would probably be at the top of the Billboard charts. Oh, but he'd probably have to have 50 Cents or somebody on the song, too. lol
