Tiny Tim's musical career began in the smoky Greenwich Village clubs of the early 1960s, where he showcased his remarkable voice, characterized by a high falsetto that left audiences both bewildered and mesmerized. His fashion sense was equally eccentric, often featuring Victorian-era clothing, complete with ruffled shirts and top hats. His performances were a mesmerizing mix of music and comedy, with quirky dance moves and his trusty ukulele adding to the spectacle.

What truly set Tiny Tim apart were his bizarre personal quirks, notably his unconventional hygiene practices. He was known for rarely washing his long, curly hair and sometimes going years without a bath. This peculiar approach to personal hygiene became a subject of fascination and speculation, further contributing to his mystique.

Religiously devout, Tiny Tim openly expressed his Christian faith and often sang gospel songs, intertwining his spirituality with his music. His political leanings were just as unconventional, with a blend of conservative and liberal views that defied easy categorization. He used his fame to advocate for various causes, making appearances at political rallies and events. Tiny Tim's romantic life was a whirlwind of high-profile marriages and relationships, including his famous televised wedding to Miss Vicki on "The Tonight Show." These unions, along with his eccentric persona, were subjects of media scrutiny and fascination.

Throughout his career, Tiny Tim experienced both remarkable peaks of success, notably with his debut album "God Bless Tiny Tim," and periods of decline as musical tastes evolved. His bizarre stage presence, idiosyncrasies, and unique voice remained constant, continuing to captivate audiences until his tragic death on stage in 1996.

Tiny Tim's legacy endures as a testament to the enduring power of individuality in the world of entertainment. His life, career, and eccentric personality are a vivid reminder that sometimes, the most unconventional talents leave the most indelible marks on the cultural landscape.

I would like to point out some corrections about Tiny Tim's death. The ukulele festival was on September 28th, 1996. He did suffer a heart attack there, but he didn't die that day. His doctors had advised him to retire from performing because of his health issues. He didn't listen to his doctors and went on to perform at a gala ladies club in Minneapolis on November 30th, 1996. That was when he had his fatal heart attack. RIP Tiny Tim! 😢

I loved loved loved Tiny Tim! I remember as a child just being so thrilled when he came on the TV. Tip toe through the tulips….

[cjjones]

A one of a kind artist
R.I.P. Tiny Tim🥀

[ericvosburgh]

They talk about poor hygiene, yet his first interview with Johnny Carson, he mentions his almost obsession about showering & skin care to be presentable when he's out in public..

[AndyFromBeaverton]

I can't tell you how many times I heard 'tiptoe through the tulips' on TV as a child. He was an enigma!

[tarrtruck]

They don't make them like that anymore. A true original!

[RichardM]

I saw him live in Berlin Massachusetts at spooky world in 1994. He was a character!

[AppleMan]

I knew Ti ny Tim. The wife of his Manager worked with my mom Naomi at the office of a construction company called Daurio and Russo on Glenwood Road in Brooklyn, NY. The son of his manager went to the same Elementary school as me at PS 276 in Canarsie Brooklyn, NY. Tiny Tim played my school Assembly. The students didn't know how to respond to Tiny's performance. Years later, I was a Manager at New York's famous Colony Records on Broadway. Tiny was my customer. He would always buy sheet music of old songs. That's my history with Tiny Tim.

[ivysmith]

I was just a little kid when I first saw him on tv, my dad was sitting in the living room watching and instantly hated him so badly that he got up and started throwing things

[jakelee]

Howard Stern had some of the “Best!”, …interviews with Tiny Tim!, …all of them are some of Howard’s best work!
