    Tiny Tim lived in my neighborhood (Washington Heights) in NYC when I was 12-13. I’m 75 now, and remember that he was a really nice man. My friends and I would flag him down on the streets and someone would call out to him, “Hey Herbie, sing us a song.” He would take his ukulele out of its case and play it while singing. Some people made fun of him, but the kids really enjoyed his performances. RIP Tiny Tim!

    I met Tiny Tim several times in The New England area in the early to mid 90’s. He would always call me Mr. Richard whenever he saw me. When I saw him at Spooky World in Berlin,MA just after he did the Howard Stern New Year’s Eve pay per view he was on a career resurgence. I got to see him a couple times at a small club in Walpole,MA which was a very intimate setting. Tiny would give his best whether there were 5,000 or 50 people. I brought several friends with me one night who were like the poster of this video,they were there to mock and jeer. However when you met this man and saw him perform you got a totally explosive show and after the show when he did his meet and greet you saw a very cordial and respectful human being who treated his fans with the utmost of respect and humility. I was privileged to know Mr. Herbert Khoury!! Most only knew Tiny Tim. R.I.P. old friend 🇺🇸✝️🙏

He was backed by a great band out of Denton, Texas named Brave Combo. There are 14 tracks on it total. Most of them Mr. Tim sang in his normal and only one or two in his famed falsetto.

    I had the opportunity to see Tiny Tim during a visit to Spooky World, billed as “America’s only haunted theme park” in Massachusetts during Halloween not long before he died. They had him performing on a small stage near the lines for admission where you would watch him for free while you waited to get it. Many were too young to know who he was, perhaps thinking he was not a celebrity but rather part of the “haunted attractions” at the amusement park. But others were thrilled to be entertained by the once iconic entertainer, who seemed to be just as happy as if he were performing to a sold out crowd. His falsetto may not have been what it once was but he took his talent seriously & seemed to genuinely enjoy being on stage nonetheless. It was an amazing venue with a haunted hayride thru an actual forest, several truly scary haunted houses, all the traditional greasy food & even a raffle to win a casket, which you could also pay to be photographed in! And then there were the celebrities. It was a very casual setting where you could meet & talk at length to a list of B movie actors that included Traci Lords, looking gorgeous as always & the legendary Linda Blair, who was incredibly sweet & charming. I suppose it is sad that unlike the paid attractions Tiny Tim was relegated to little more than window dressing for the hundreds of people standing in line waiting to hand over wads of cash for a few hours of fun but I was happy to have had the chance to see the entertainer who as Scott said once filled the seats in Vegas at the height of his fame. A very kind & respectful tribute Scott. Thanks for sharing & thanks to Tiny Tim for the simple joy he gave to so many back in the day. He may not have had a healthy heart but he certainly had a kind one. ✌🏻❤️🙏

    I performed onstage with Tim in 1980 in California and while he was quirky and maybe a bit odd I can tell you without reservation that he was 100% exactly the same offstage as he was onstage. What you saw was exactly who he was. You cannot say that about any other celebrity performer. In the 1980s he was getting $5,000 per show (two shows per night back then too). Not bad for 1980. He was a gay man. Because of his religious background he was self loathing and deeply troubled about his gay side and that is a shame. Tim preferred (nearly) anonymous liaisons with men he met here and there. I witnessed that. It's true he did in fact carry around a brown paper bag all day everywhere he went that contained his beloved ukulele. It is not true he wore a tie and suspenders all day. He wore a collared dress shirt, usually white during the day. It is also true he wanted to be buried with his ukulele - and he was. I especially appreciate the words contained in his eulogy. They really captured all there was to know about the good, kind and innocent man that he was.

    This made me cry. What a legend. I loved Tiny Tim. I remember him getting married to his first wife and having his first daughter. Did I miss anything said about his daughter? Is she still alive etc. you got a great gift from that gentleman. I hope everything and anything you have collected about everyone is in a safe or better yet a bank vault.

    I was at the ukulele expo where he had the heart attack and fell on stage. I was working at a music store in Maine at the time, and a group of us went down to set up and run a small booth selling ukulele's and other stringed instruments. One of the guys brought a video camera. He recorded us all meeting and interacting with Tiny Tim. Then he filmed the show. When Tiny Tim went down, we all thought he was going to die. I am sad to say this really pleased the videographer. The whole way home all he talked about was how much money he was going to get from the tape. I never got a copy of at least my portion, meeting Tiny Tim. He had sold it to some tabloid and didn't bother making a copy. I don't know how much they gave him, but when I brought it up he seemed sour.

    Tiny Tim died in my town of Minneapolis. He married a local gal and he was seen all over town. I have a couple stories about him. I remember in about 1970 I got his autograph, and he was so nice and drew a little caricature of himself. Later in life my friend, who was a musician, used to tell a story of how he ran into Tiny Tim at a local gas station. My friend used to play 1920s music, so he approached Tiny Tim. He was a genius about this decade of music and they talked at great length about the music. He talked so much that my friend had to tell him he had to go. When has a celebrity ever had a fan run away? I had a friend in the ER when they brought Tiny Tim in and she said never in their careers had they ever received a thank you note from anyone, but Tiny Tim's wife wrote a beautiful three page letter. I tell people that he is buried in Lakewood Cemetery in between Hubert Humphrey and Paul Wellstone - which is a lie though all three are buried there.

Thanks for remembering him with respect, Scott, I'm sure it matters to the people who loved him truly. ✌️

    I saw Tiny Tim perform once and got to talk to him. It was a wonderfully odd moment I will always remember. He was wearing a matching Mickey Mouse suit. I agree, he was very patient and interesting to talk to. I told him I had the "God Bless Tiny Tim" album and his response was, "I don't even have that one!" and asked me to come to the next show north of where we were so he could sign it. I regret not doing that.

The author actually knew him and met up with him in the local library. The Author was very patient with me as I asked about certain things. Said he was a really great person! We never think of what happens to the person, after the novelty wears off, but performers know all to well! Im proud of Tiny that he still knew the importance of human beings and treating people with kindness, love and respect!!!❤️❤️❤️ Thanks again and greetings from Illinois!
