It's always weird to hear about someone dying that you thought was dead 30 years ago.

I was thinking the same thing; what's Boxcar Willie's status?

RIP, Slim.

He sold more records than Elvis & The Beatles COMBINED! (or so I've heard.)

[Earth 2 Chris]

Geez, I hate to say this but I thought he had passed on long ago as well.

He was a favorite of my friend's mother growing up. It seemed kind of odd, she was from Denmark....

[Werewolf]

Never had any of his albums but I still remember the Slim Whitman ads from TV when I was a child. I think those old Slim Whitman and Zamfir ads are going to be forever burned into my memory.

Wow, I put him up there on the DOA list with the likes of Conway Twitty, Boxcar Willie and Jim Reeves. I guess he was so thin he really slipped through the cracks. I'm glad you noticed so I can say this..

RIP Slim
