I never listened to his music and he only has a tangential relationship to the topic of this site but anyone who watched monster movies in the 70s would be familiar with Slim Whitman. Commercials for his music were ubiquitous during the hours that b monster movies were usually broadcast and the one thing that a monster fan was sure to learn from all his hours of monster watching was that Slim Whitman sold more records than Elvis and The Beatles combined (I never checked on that to see if it was true). RIP sir.

Sadly, he probably got the most pop culture exposure for the current generation as the voice that killed the Martians in that Tim Burton misfire....

His place in recording history, though, is more than secure. So long, Slim.
