Tiny Tim, born as Herbert Khaury in 1932, was an American singer and ukulele player known for his distinctive falsetto voice and unconventional musical style. He gained prominence in the late 1960s with his rendition of "Tiptoe Through the Tulips" and his appearances on "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson." His music, often characterized by a blend of traditional pop standards, novelty tunes, and old-time music, significantly contributed to the countercultural movement of the era. Despite his eccentric persona, Tiny Tim's influence on popular culture and his reinterpretation of forgotten musical gems are pivotal in music history.
