I loved Slim Whitman in the early 50´s. I was only 10 years old when I first heard him singing. I had all his albums by the time I was 30. I lost them all, but since have them on cds. I grew up in the Elvis era loved his music. Slim was always my very favorite. I listen to his tapes almost daily. Some of my new found favorites are AT MAIL CALL TODAY, WHEN MY DREAM BOAT COMES HOME, and of course many hymns.
A truly unique and sincere voice to listen to.
I enjoy also his songs with his son Byron. He always was so proud of Byron. It showed always as they sang theirs smiles and hand shakes. I laugh when I see the clips in England. One occasion Byron dancing surprising Slim, almost hit him. Or when Byron was singing and Slim was checking if Byron really filled out his suit.
There will never never be another Slim Whitman. A loving man to his family and all. Loved you and miss you. Thank GOD for cds and Utube.

Godspeed Slim. Wonderful voice and wonderful music memories. Unforgettable. Thank you Slim. My late step-father only wanted Slim's wonderful song "Sunrise" played at his memorial service. Eternal "Sunrise" for Slim now.

I have known Slim Whitman relatively recently. I am the same age as his son Byron. I have never heard a voice like his, it is a wonder that will last forever. I thought I knew how to sing, but Slim is teaching me now after he left. Rest in peace, I will always remember you. Thank you so much for allowing us to enjoy your voice.

I eloped with my 16 year old girlfriend to Yuma, AZ and was married with Slim singing Indian Love Call in the background. That was 1952. His music was my late wife's favorite--mine too. God is Blessing Slim Whitman. John Carey

Slim Whitman gave me many pleasures over the years and still doing so now. He left us a great legacy of beautiful music, He had such a wonderful knack of making even a rubbish song into a sensational masterpiece. God bless his dear soul as he takes his talent into the next world among the choir of angels

We recall how he gave an entire afternoon singing and sharing memories of how the songs came about with a Veteran dying of Agent Orange there in Middleburg, FL, where Slim lived. The last wish was to hear Slim sing again, and Slim really sang and sang and sang all afternoon. He was so kind and generous with his time and talent. Our loss is heaven's gain. We knew Slim as a gentle, caring, Christian gentleman.

I was a young child, and my father had a Chrysler New Yorker that as long as a city block. Every time he started it, the Slim Whitman 8 track went in. Today at 43 , I can still see and hear him coming down the road. I grew up listening to Slim. I liked it then and like it now. Hate to hear that we lost such a talanted man. I think I might listen to Slims CD today

I was lucky enough to see this wonderful artist live on stage, some years ago. He stood on stage all in white, with the sparkle of his suit flashing,his voice so clear,and I felt so proud to be in the company of such a man. An image that has never faded over these many years. A star then and a star even more today....

Slim Whitman was a great person. Many years ago I interviewed him for WNCO Country Music in Ashland, OH. He was the genuine article. He told me he would not do a song that could not be sung in church and he had not performed in bars. His music has seen me through rough times in my life and for that I will always be grateful. Heaven has added a wonderful man to the heavenly choir but I will always have the memories and his wonderful songs.

My mother listened to his music ln the 30s and 40s.it was a rare thing in that era, for Hispanics to listen to that type of music. I didn't think he was bad either. May he rest in heaven and continue to sing with the angels.my empathy goes out to his son and daughter.

Even though I was a very little girl and only met him a couple of times, I felt that Slim was a friend of mine... always have even now at the age of almost 70. He let my brother sing on a couple of his personal appearances in the early 50s and I grew up seeing him with my family on The Louisiana Hayride. I thought for years that he was the very best-looking man I'd ever seen in my life and even though I didn't know the word for it as a child... the sexiest. My family LOVED his music and I had most of his recordings but regretfully lost them in Hurricane Katrina. What a gentleman, singer and, from what I gather, father and husband he was! I will always love him and think of him as my friend as he always brought so much joy to my family and me. My condolences to the family.
