Tiny Tim ~ Stayin' Alive

Tiny Tim is where Robert Smith got his vocal style from

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

A lot of people think Tim is a joke, but he knew a lot about older American music and performers and had a big collection of 78s.

Oh, yes he did and Mr. Tim played a mean UK too. For those who didn't get my double entendre, God Bless Tiny Tim" was his first album. If my memory servers me right. biggrin

If you're into ukulele music, then you might be interested in George Formby or the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain. George Harrison & Paul McCartney were big fans of George Formby and Harrison had a big collection of ukuleles and he would often give one away to friends & guests.
