The Handsome Family - Giant Of Illinois

My cover of 'Giant Of Illinois' by The Handsome Family. This song was inspired by the story of Robert Pershing Wadlow (1918 - 1940) of Alton, Illinois. He died at the age of 22 as the tallest man in history. He stood at 8 ft 11.1 in (2.72 m) and showed no signs that his growing had stopped. Comments please.

Good to see something new from you again! Good job!

I just looked at some pictures of Robert Wadlow and the story of his sad death is really shocking :-(

But it's good to keep him in mind by singing this song!!
