The Last Days of Tiny Tim

[crucifiedtruth]

Thank you for this. Herbert Khoury aka Tiny Tim, was an entertainer and a pure heart. God Bless you TT, for the good you've done. RIP

[donutman31]

@crucifiedtruth haha you spelled his last name wrong! Fail! haha

[brendan2313]

@monkey0985 Wow! That's so cool..

[physco118]

Pretty informative. Thumbs up

[Cornelius2u]

Nice peice of work. I appreciate the nonsentimental approach, but yet shared/documented with a sense of compassion. I learned something about tiny tim because of this video; thank you.

[richardm123uk]

A brilliant performer. Thanks for this.

[allenbroadway]

He also did some recordings in St. Paul at Track Studios on Sherburne Ave. and Snelling during his time in the Twin Cities! Norton Lawellin can tell you more about that!

[CattailsandRoses]

Leave it to Howard Stern to be disrespectful to a kind soul like Herbert Khoury. Did he really do that?

[423jaws]

Way ahead of his time....the future will miss you.... R.I.P. Tiny.

[monkey0985]

My mom informed me the other day that my great grandmother ( who was a nurse) took care of tiny Tim while he was in the hospital at some point in time back in Pennsylvania

[59Hellfire]

those are some sweet glasses

[weaselsuit]

Wonderful video. I have lived here in Minneapolis my entire life (43 years) and I was never even aware he lived here or passed away here.

[HelterSkelterForum]

He was a real gent

[CXAlexander1]

Thanks so much. A fan from way, waaayyy back.

[hussnfussel7]

[cjn12140]

[VTCOLONEL]

I always watched him on rowen &Martins laugh in and followed him thru the years he will be missed.

[toysbyus1]

One of my fondest memories of my childhood was watching end enjoying Tiny's performances on TV in the 1960s........

A decent guy, a huge heart and so much talent......will always be missed by many of us!

RIP, Tiny!

Steve

[LetArtsLive]

my grandma loved Tiny Tim and met him in buffalo wasn't he from buffalo??

[dusek9210]

thanks for all of this info....

[624gamer]

how come he went to rock and did all these dumb songs

[BobPrimal]

It was a womens Catholic club, NOT a strip club which Tiny Tim would not have performed in even if he was stone cold broke and it offered him a million dollars. He wad that sort of man, regardless of what one feels about strip clubs Tiny Tim was a moral man and no amount of money would have him perform at any club that degraded women, he simply would sooner go bankrupt.

[MrCreampuffofdoom]

womens club? is that like a strip club? cuz i tot Tiny Was Christian am i wrong?

[Pieishman]

@MrCreampuffofdoom its a club FOR women, not a strip club.

[MrCreampuffofdoom]

@Pieishman ok lol sorry i just couldnt tell lol!

[stlee74]

Thanks for posting!

[ktm5194]

he didnt exactly live a "long full life". 64 is a tad young to die.

[TheLydianRocks]

@ktm5194 no its not lol not everybody lives to be 90 mate, human beings are lucky to live to 65 with the amount of shit we all pump into our bodies in the course of those years, and a few thousand years ago people died at 25 and it was normal. Still it's a shame though, tim was epic :D

[soberdave1971]

@ktm5194 it's not the length of life, but how you live it.

[ktm5194]

@soberdave1971 quality over quantity.

[Timetraveler7777]

how is the play coming along Max?

[Abydon420]

He was NOT gay...He simply didn't enjoy sex all that much. He was a pure performer and entertainer. His music,albeit rather...eccentric, was a nice reprieve from the complex messages of other band's music. It seemed he was more of a music historian who enjoyed putting his own spin on the music he so loved. That's a true signof artistic genius!

[Druttilover]

@Abydon420 But how do you know he wasn't gay? I mean like, could you read his mind o.O?

[1ndianman]

I know, he was buried with his ukelele and a tulip. there's picture of it on the web. the golden remark is just a joke.

[OldSkoolAngel]

You know... I think he wanted to go on stage... ;_;

[Zacar5100]

Never knew of these facts about him now i have now i no he's lived a long full life R.I.P. Tiny Tim Im sure ur in heaven tiptoeing through the tulipst alongside the angels. =-)

[Mdschannel]

@1ndianman he didnt have a golden ukulele. He had the ukulele he was buried with.

[ZUP3RCURTIS]

Ignore my ignorance... But when someone is put a tomb such as Tiny's, the coffin is just slid into the wall? Correct?

[krallstello]

@4CrazyMexicans

Krallstello here. The reply from Bremen93 to you is actually from me. Someone in my house left themselves signed in and I didn't notice. Sorry.

[4CrazyMexicans]

@krallstello Purgatory, i totally forgot about that. i am by no means a religious man or an atheist (these dudes are just dumb) but i doubt a priest could absolve anyone sin considering he is just a man himself. Granted a man of god, or so they say. I've seen plenty of priest that are just as fucked up as the rest of us, if not worse. But i'm done, blah blah blah yeah he's up there chill with the big G in happy land waiting to be "purified" you win.

[bremen93]

@4CrazyMexicans

No, his wife Miss Sue stated that he died in good standing in the Roman Catholic Church. He was NOT at all gay according to his wives, and he adored women. I don't know what "religion" you are referring to that would automatically send him to hell. God is merciful if one confesses and repents. He most likely had the Last Rites as well from a priest, which would absolve all his sins. he is most likely in purgatory till his soul is purified,like a lot of people.

[Dalek22comments]

Nice.

[Nguli34689]

I will miss you, Mr. Khaury (aka: "Tiny Tim" et "Larry Love"). You were a musical archivist and you made many people laugh with your unique sense of humor.

I wasn't in my teens yet when I heard you sing Maurice Chevalier's "TIP-TOE THROUGH THE TULIPS WITH ME". I was listening to the local AM radio station and I thought I heard a granny sing this tune. Later on I learned that it was a funny guy singing old songs from composers such as Irving Berlin too!

(Tiny Tim had a good range as well).

[riddleinkid]

"Are you okay?" - "No I'm not". Perfect last words. RIP

[Fothermucker87]

whats the name of that music?

[richmeister1]

Thanks for taking the time to produce this. Tiny is among friends in Minnesota.

[Debukochi]

Thank you for the thoughtful and very appropriate tribute Max. I had met Tiny Tim at the T.F. Green Airport in Rhode Island, while accompanying an 11 year-old boy to his return flight from summer camp. When I, a fan, approached him, the boy initially seemed intimidated by Tiny Tim’s larger-than-life presence but was quickly won over as this gentle giant sat with us in the lounge and solicited the boy’s opinion on all of his favorite music. What a gracious man who I’m sure is missed by many.

[NathanielChristopher]

This is a wonderful tribute! Thanks for all your effort in showing us the sites of Tiny Tim's final days. It's like a more human and personalised trip through Google Streetview! :)

[RG4242421]

Thank You Max Tiny Tim Loved all people He never got tired of saying"Thank You so much" and those who hurt him...He Forgave...RIP FRIEND.

[IrapedGod666]

[RyanShortFilms]

Very interesting video! THANKS FOR POSTING THIS!

[doctorslightlyevil]

wonderful and warm account of Tiny Tim's final days. loved this video. thanks.

[screamdiva]

oops! I think her name was Vicki too.

[screamdiva]

Tiny Tim was cool! I meet him in NYC several times. I've got a great video of him singing "Down in The Subway" at an Outlaw party. The video is long so I haven't edited to post here. It's on vimeo at traxtv I haven't given the total address because I'm not sure if that's allowed here... you can easily find it if interested though. I also knew the wife he had around 90'-91' miss June.

[allexx123]

@screamdiva Tiny's 2nd wife was Jan.

[allexx123]

@screamdiva Saw the out law party video with Tiny Tim.Thanks or mentioning it

[JulioJuanNieto]

[jimmyratz]

R.I.P. Tiny Tim

[coreycmc444]

@meezsims2luver956 heart failure

[Skwiigo]

[2kool4skool1117]

RIP

[blackjackdealer]

I was a life long Tiny Tim fan. In 1996 I was working for KLUK Laughlin, NV. and was able to meet Tiny 3 times. He had been appearing at the Flamingo Hilton Laughlin. On his second to last stint here he calopsed on stage. His refused medical treatment until his wife flew out. I will never forget being back stage, I mentioned "On The Old Front Porch", Tiny whipped his eucolaly out of his bag and we sang togeather. He was thrilled to meet a true fan and I was thrilled too.

[Bjouesbijou]

i hope someone will beat the shit out of that band leader.. that mother fucker

[brittanybug10]

@PrideofWhitey TINY TIM IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!! But guess what? You're not!

[deniz280]

[TheWise100082]

[lauriebooth]

Excellent

[ethteck]

This is a great video and it's cool to hear so much specific information about Tiny Tim. Thank you for making this.

[MrBarryMusic]

Great video! Poor Tiny.... We'll never have anyone quite like him again!

[TerminalShockRecords]

I ended up visiting Tiny when i was in Minneapolis during the summer. My mom was in an art show and I found out that Tiny Tim was buried there and it turns out the art fair was only a few blocks away from the cemetary.

[ImOfNope]

Wow, you really put some work into this. You won't find anything like this' on another video or in the media. Good job and good narration.

[DevilJosh4ever]

Very interesting.

[ihearttinytim]

Awesome video! What you don't know is the the crypt directly below Tiny's is mine. (Crypt F).

Yes, I'm a *HUGE* fan. =)

[allexx123]

And I boguht the 2 crypts right above Tiny and Sue. It is an eternal gift to myself . It cost $8,000, but it is worth every penny to be entombed with one of my favorite friends I had in life.

[SciFiBMovieGuy]

I didn't buy a crypt, but I did take a leak behind your crypts. On my tiptoes.

[allexx123]

Bull Shit Dave, you never been there.

[SciFiBMovieGuy]

Then don't believe me. I won't lose any sleep.

[brittanybug10]

@ihearttinytim :0 woooooooooooooow

[scottklaw]

Thank's for the info.

[harryogre]

What a sad story.

Thanks for sharing this tribute.
