Slim Whitman is one of my favorite country music icons.
'Ottis Dewey Whitman' Jr was born January 20, 1924, in Tampa, FL. Known professionally as Slim Whitman, he is an American country songwriter and musician, known for his yodeling. Whitman is a right handed but a self-taught left-handed guitarist. He lost almost all of the second finger on his left hand in an accident. He has sold in excess of 120 million albums in unit sales and has had numerous successful recordings. He is consistently more popular throughout Europe, and in particular Britain, than in the US.
