Slim had an incredible voice perfectly suited to songs like this. Anyone who is interested , I just recorded a cover version of this song based on Jim Reeves version. Stop by my channel sometime and check it out.
The Great Slim Whitman was born with the gift of a beautiful voice- thank goodness he shared it with us all. The greatest singer and a Legend in his lifetime. I have most of the 600 songs he recorded! Marje Morgan - North Wales - UK...Join The Slim Whitman Appreciation Society on Facebook..Ref No: 5209942149. The Site is undated daily with information on albums and pictures of Slim.
Freaky stuff.. and the aweful sound quality made it even more nightmarish. I feel like drinking and I don't even drink. Glad i stopped playing before I got too depressed... 4 stars on the creepy scale!
Slim never stayed in the UK. He always returned to his 40 acre spread in Florida and his home in the Keys (Marathon, FL.) He has sold his property in the keys just recently and is enjoying his retirement just south of Jacksonville. If you're looking for Slim Whitman information and stuff google Slim Whitman Collectors International.
The original fella was hoots rains, who made a error while playing and done the slide to high, slim liked it and kept it and called it,"the shooting star " hoped it helped you.
Thanks very much. One puzzle solved! When I saw him in Sydney, round about 1970, he had either Jerry West or Colin Townes doing the same job. Think it was the latter, but not 100% sure. Marvellous instrument, when played properly, isn't it? Thanks again. Des.
Toujours cette voix superbe. Merci Slim, un plaisir d'écouter sa voix... Merci à bloodandsnatters d'avoir ajouté cette chanson.

I Saw Slim when I was a young lad in concert in Torquay. He has always been one of the best. I love this record.
