The man who sold more records in England than Elvis and the Beatles and whose music stopped a martian invasion is dead at the age of 90.
R.I.P. sir (first time I heard of Slim was in a Robin Williams joke, on the DVD "An Evening with Robin Williams", )
Maybe over-exposure selling records on TV made the butt of jokes, but his voice was really something. Not many men can manage those falsetto transitions so smoothly, and his yodeling was effortless and fluid. He didn't sell all those records for nothing! RIP.
