Herbert Buckingham Khaury (April 12, 1932 – 30 November 1996), better known by the stage name Tiny Tim, was an American singer, ukulele player, and musical archivist. He was most famous for his rendition of “Tiptoe Through The Tulips” sung in his distinctive high falsetto / vibrato voice. He was generally thought of as a novelty act, though his records display a wide knowledge of American songs.

According to legend, Tiny Tim first sang in a lesbian cabaret bar. He went on to sing in a wide variety of clubs and bars, as well as entering many talent competitions in an attempt to get discovered. He used a number of pseudonyms, but eventually settled on “Tiny Tim”, after the character from Dickens's A Christmas Carol. Tiny Tim recorded many records for the girls that he liked. These were 78-rpm, 10-inch records made in private pressings of one or two copies, with handwritten labels. He gave one of the records to actress Tuesday Weld in 1964. One of the names used on these early records was “Darry Dover”, but most of these records used the name “Tiny Tim”.

Rise to stardom

In the 1960s Khaury was seen regularly near the Harvard University campus as a street performer, singing old Tin Pan Alley tunes. From Massachusetts he moved to New York City, and developed something of a cult following. He appeared in the independent feature film You Are What You Eat, which led to a booking on Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In, an American television comedy-variety show. Dan Rowan announced that Laugh-In believed in showcasing new talent, and introduced Tiny Tim. The singer entered, blowing kisses, and sang "Tiptoe Through the Tulips" to the incredulous Dick Martin. It was a bizarre but very funny spectacle, what with the singer's extraordinarily high falsetto voice, long curly hair, large nose, tall stature (he was six feet and one inch), and his relatively tiny ukulele. This led to several more appearances on Laugh-In and a recording contract with Reprise Records. He made a name for himself as a novelty performer, guesting with Johnny Carson, Ed Sullivan, and Jackie Gleason.

In 1968, his first album, God Bless Tiny Tim, was released. It contained an orchestrated version of his signature song, “Tiptoe Through The Tulips”, which was a hit when released as a single. The other songs displayed his wide-ranging knowledge of the American songbook, and also allowed him to demonstrate his baritone voice, which was less often heard than his falsetto. On one track, a version of “I Got You Babe”, he sang a duet with himself, taking one part in falsetto, and the other in the baritone range. “On the Old Front Porch” extends this to a trio, including a boy (Billy Murray), the girl he is courting (Ada Jones), and her father (probably Murray again).

Another notable song was a cover of “Stay Down Here Where You Belong”, written by Irving Berlin in 1914 to protest the Great War. It is written from the standpoint of Satan talking to his son, and is a powerful condemnation of those who foment war: “To please their kings, they've all gone out to war, and not a one of them knows what they're fighting for… Kings up there are bigger devils than your dad.” (The comedian Groucho Marx also used this song as part of his own act, at least in part to irk the patriotic Berlin, who in later years tried in vain to disown the song.)

Tiny Tim recorded and released two more albums for Reprise, Tiny Tim's Second Album 1968, and For All My Little Friends, 1969, a collection of children's songs. A small record label got hold of some of his pre-fame recordings and overdubbed them with canned applause, creating a fictional "live concert" recording to cash in on Tiny Tim's popularity. The album was called Concert in Fairyland.

On 17 December 1969, he married Victoria Mae Budinger (“Miss Vicki”) on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, a publicity stunt which attracted 40 million viewers. Tiny wrote his own marriage vows, including the promise to be “not puffed up”. Tiny Tim and Miss Vicki made more news a month later with the announcement that they were expecting a baby.

In August 1970 Tiny Tim performed at the Isle of Wight Festival 1970 in front of a crowd of 600,000 people. His performance, which included English folk songs and rock and roll classics, was a huge hit with the multinational throng of hippies.

Later career

After this career highlight, however, Tiny Tim's television appearances reduced, and his popularity began to wane. He continued to play around the United States and made several lucrative appearances in Las Vegas. By 1985, he resorted to joining the Alan C Hill circus.

In the 1990s, interest in Tiny Tim seemed to pick up a little. He began to release records again, including I Love Me (1995) and Girl (1996). He also recorded his last music video with NYC's punk rock band Ism[2](1996). It was a punk remake of “Tiptoe Through The Tulips” and was never officially released. He frequently appeared on The Howard Stern Radio Show and in Stern's movie, Private Parts (1997), as well as occasional appearances on other television programs. Tiny Tim also worked with a number of other artists, including Brave Combo (his backing band on Girl) as well as Sydney based rock band His Majesty with whom he recorded the albums Tiny Tim Rock and Tiny Tim's Christmas Album, both of which were produced by Sydney Artist and writer Martin Sharp.

Final years

Toward the end of his life Tiny Tim became a fixture at "Spooky World," an annual Halloween-themed exposition in western Massachusetts. He also appeared in tongue-in-cheek television commercials for area merchants. In September 1996, he suffered a heart attack just as he began singing at a ukulele festival at the Montague Bookmill in Montague, Massachusetts.

He continued to play concerts despite the warnings that, due to the fragile state of his heart, he could die at any moment. While playing “Tiptoe Through The Tulips” at a Gala Benefit at The Woman's Club of Minneapolis on 30 November of that year, he suffered another heart attack on stage. He was led out by his third wife, Susan Marie Gardner (whom he had married on 18 August 1995), who asked him if he was okay. Tim responded, “Damnit!” Those were his final words. He collapsed shortly thereafter and was rushed to Hennepin County Medical Center where he died after doctors tried to resuscitate him for an hour and fifteen minutes.

Traditionalism

The marked distinctiveness of the “Tiny Tim” act notwithstanding, much of his work was simply reviving songs and artists of past generations, including early recording artists such as Billy Murray, Ada Jones, and Henry Burr. He had a comprehensive and deep love for, and knowledge of, pre-rock popular music, an aspect of his performance that was little understood when he was at the height of his popularity. In many ways, Tiny Tim was a classic vaudeville performer and entertainer very much in the style of Rudy Vallee, Ukulele Ike and George Formby. Billy Murray (25 May 1877 - 17 August 1954) was one of the most popular singers in the United States in the early decades of the 20th century. ...

George Formby, OBE (26 May 1904 – 6 March 1961) was an English singer and comedian who became a major star of both cinema and music hall. ...

Also, his seemingly “hippie” hairstyle and clothing belied a conservative, traditional belief system about religion and marriage. His first marriage (to Miss Vicki) ended in part due to problems arising from his conservative views on a women's role in relationships. As she explained in interviews, their disparity in age and world view left her feeling stifled. In fact, in the mid-1980s, Tim was converted to Catholicism and became a devout Christian; on several of his records and interviews, he often proclaimed his devotion to Jesus, and his second marriage (on 26 June 1984, to Jan Alweiss, from whom he was divorced in 1995) took place in a Catholic Church.

Along those traditional lines, he was publicly respectful of his parents' generation of performers. In an appearance with Bing Crosby on The Hollywood Palace, he referred to the program's host several times as “Mr. Crosby”. When Crosby asked him to call him “Bing”, he partially relented and called him “Mr. Bing”.

When discussing old-time stars, in short commentaries between songs on his albums, he would mention their names formally: “Mr. Billy Murray” or “Miss Ada Jones”, for example. When he appeared on the Howard Stern show, he addressed everyone as “Mr.” or “Miss”, including production staff, interns and others who were not entertainers.

His honoring of his elders extended to one of his album covers, which featured him along with his parents, unusual for a recording artist to do when the parents are not performers themselves.
