Since the advent of recorded music, falsetto singing has been popular. Guys like Frankie Valli made a career out of that style. That still doesn’t explain how Tiny Tim (born Herbert Khaury) became a fleeting phenomenon in the summer of 1968. His version of a tune from an early talking movie, 1929’s “Gold Diggers Of Broadway,” made him an ultimate one-hit wonder. He played the guitar right-handed and the ukulele left-handed, and appeared on “Laugh-In” regularly. Video is from the “Tonight” show, where Tiny was also a favorite guest of Johnny Carson and even got married on Carson’s show in 1969.
