United StatesHe sang "Tiptoe Through the Tulips" in a trembling falsetto on national television in 1968 and became one of the strangest pop sensations America had ever seen — ukulele in hand, long hair curtaining his face, voice climbing into registers most men never touch.
About
Herbert Butros Khaury was born April 12, 1932, and spent years as a musical archivist before the world knew him as Tiny Tim. In 1968 he released a cover of "Tiptoe Through the Tulips with Me," a song from the 1929 musical Gold Diggers of Broadway, and the recording became a hit. His vocal range was wide, but it was the falsetto — soaring, odd, unmistakable — that defined him. He kept performing until his death on November 30, 1996, a figure who never quite fit the decade that made him famous.
