Tiny Tim is holding court as he sings songs and entertains his fans at the party for the Prisoner of Love recording sessions in Tampa Florida, 1994. He sings a few songs starting with New Day Coming and Roll out the Barrel. Then he brings in a more somber tome with After I Call You Sweetheart. This is super FUN footage and Tiny was having an absolute blast! His fans who were there were all enjoying themselves and everyone had a great time. An amazing night! Tiny was elated with the evening, as well as the recording sessions. He often referred to Prisoner of Love (a tribute to Russ Columbo) his best album.
Tiny spent a week in Tampa in 1994. We recorded the album and also shot a lot of video footage in various parks in the area, I will be posting lots of Tiny Tim content from those Park Sessions on the channel.

In 1968, Tiny Tim, known for his high-pitched singing, released a popular song called "Tip Toe through the Tulips." With just his ukulele, Tiny Tim sang this tune, and it became a hit. He even appeared on famous TV shows like Rowan and Martin’s Laugh In and the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. The song itself, written by Al Dubin and Joe Burke way back in 1929, was a big success then too, staying at number one on the charts for ten weeks. It's about wanting to meet someone in a tulip garden for a romantic kiss under the moonlight. Although it's not clear if the songwriters or Tiny Tim knew the meaning behind the tulip, in Victorian times and in funerals, tulips were seen as a symbol of love and passion. Unlike roses, tulips don't have thorns, and even after they're cut, they still keep growing, which is why they're often linked with everlasting life.
Tiny Tim, the singer known for playing the ukulele and signing old songs from the 1920s, was born as Herbert Khaury on April 12, 1932, in New York City. His father was Lebanese, and his mother was Jewish. He gew up in the Washington Heights area of Manhattan. Even though he dropped out of high school, Tiny Tim loved old music from the late 1800s to the 1930s. and wanted to be a singer. He learned to play the guitar and ukulele and started performing as "Larry Love" in the early 1950s. He often sang at a cabaret in Greenwich Village called Page 3. Despite his parents' disapproval, Tiny Tim kept singing the old songs he loved at small clubs, parties, and talent shows under different names. Sadly, Tiny Tim passed away on November 30, 1996.
