INDIAN LOVE CALL ~ Slim Whitman 1951 .wmv

INDIAN LOVE CALL ~ Slim Whitman ~ Imperial Records~ 1951.

INDIAN LOVE CALL was recorded by Slim Whitman on December 1, 1951 and released in early 1952. It had also been hit for Artie Shaw & His Orchestra, with vocals by Tony Pastor, on the Bluebird Records label back in the late 1930's.
DEDICATED TO : Eva Mae Kirkland-Stahmer, a terrific lady, who gave her only copy of INDIAN LOVE CALL to me, just a pimply-faced kid at the time, just because I said I liked the way it sounded. I accepted it thankfully and I have taken care of it ever since then. Sadly, Eva passed away several years ago, but whenever I play the record, I think of her. This is also dedicated to Eva's grandson, Anthony R. Stahmer, for being a damn good pal since our junior high school days. Friends don't come any better. We used to try to do a two-part harmony on INDIAN LOVE CALL, but we sounded like hell, so we agreed to just let Slim do the singing on this one.

I hate this version!!! its terrible... the original/ (aka CLASSIC) is so much better, this version is just scary!

[MrRJDB1969]

@fancypantss123 : Well, I guess you know where you can go then ?

[MrRJDB1969]

Remember the movie "CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND" (1977) with Richard Dreyfuss & Teri Garr ? In the scene where the police are chasing a few of the smaller space craft thru a toll crossing; if you listen closely, the toll taker on duty has Slim Whitman playing on the radio; which is where they got the idea for using a Slim Whitman tune in "MARS ATTACKS".

A nice share, I grew up with this, and my parents gave me their London American Imperial Recordings 78 rpm shellac single when they passed the hand crank gramophone to me.

This version is still the best, The Great Maker Smiles Upon You.

Thank you for the share, going on Facebook.

@DSVOP : Thanks for your comments.

Mars Attacks!

I wonder how Slim Whitman would feel if he knew his music was the key to saving humanity from a Martian invasion.

This is full of memories. All I can think of is shrieking and green goo though... That film's hilariously dark.

@MrRJDB1969 I actually like this version. I like all the versions, but this one is alittle more twangy, but its cool. very cool

[TheSmithsFive]

I'm glad I was listening to this song, other wise I would have been vaporized by the Martians.

[BaronVonPenguin]

@fancypantss123 This is the original. The one he had a hit with is a re-recording from the 60s.

Que lastima que no tengo auto sino salgo por los barrios con esto al palo a matar negros y reggatoneros... jjajajaj que son mas plaga q los marcianos..

[daveysan]

One definition of artistry is the creation of something unique. Slim Whitman succeeds over and over and no more than in this rendition. Ack Ack!
