How wonderful to watch Tiny sing "Only Forever" to Miss Sue, that was beautiful! Also, Fancy Ray is a really good interviewer, he was very respectful to Tiny.
Look up the details that happened the night he died. He was totally abused and disrespected by a third rate high school band director and I believe the stress of that night lead to his death. I’m a pretty tough guy and I cried when I read the details of what he endured and if there is a hell I hope that son of a bitch Robert Elledge is suffering in it .
🎶🎶 be sure to check out 'Nowhere Man' with George Harrison. This was from an annual installment from The Beatles Christmas Message that was sent out to Beatle Fan Club members.
This was such a great interview. You had so much respect for your guest and I appreciate that. Tiny was so much more than Tiptoe Through the Tulips. He was, truly, a mans man, regardless of his look and undeserved reputation.
This is possibly the best interview of Tiny Tim ever. The questions were thoughtful and relevant, and Tiny Tim answered them with remarkable candor. He seemed to be very at ease. And the singing duet at the end was an added treat. Very enjoyable!
I've not seen Fancy Ray since leaving Minneapolis. "My, my, my...yes, yes, yes!". I spoke to Mr. Tim for two hours on an airplane in the early 80s. He knew every song ever written! I'm glad I wasn't scared to speak to him because as you see here, he was not weird at all and I found him very articulate and very friendly.
I've been watching a lot of 'Tiny Tim's interviews lately. I'm an old guy and I'm just catching up on some background on him. There are two things that stand out to me most of all; The first is his surprising devotion to the Christian faith. I don't know why but he never struck me as a committed semi-fundamentalist. The other thing that stands out seems to be his incredible memory: He not only knew a mountain of songs and who wrote them, he seems to have had a total recall for calendar dates too. His memory powers are really quite astonishing. I suspect he might have had some condition which allowed him to be the way he was: I would guess he was somewhere on the Autism spectrum. A fascinating guy. And a great interview by Fancy Ray.
One thing that I like about Tim is how he's angry about lying, and you can tell it's not just because the newspaper did it to him personally, but because he's angry about lying IN GENERAL, which I believe all moral people should be. It's how you know he wasn't one of those super phony Christians that are so common. They like to put on airs in order to pretend they're holy, but their actions speak for themselves. Tim was the real deal in so many ways. He was always honest, even when it would cause people to judge him or see him as an oddball. Style-wise, he was way ahead of his time. I've also heard that even though he didn't have much, he was a very generous man with the little he did have.
Luv this interview ❤❤ just now rediscovering again, I remember when I was younger but this is a better interview, than others I have watched..may he rip, and continue singing ❤❤
Tiny Tim, had no fear or embarassment about talking about God. I read his father was a Maronite priest. Meaning he was Eastern Rite Catholic. God Bless Tiny Tim. His childhood and having a father who was a priest may have influenced him in so many ways. He was not afraid to profess Jesus Christ. A smart and intelligent man. With a lot of heart and love. Him speaking about God here around 9:30 was pretty intense. Take heed.
His mother was an Orthodox Jew from lutowiska Poland and her father was a rabbi She married a Christian. She named her son Herbert who became known as tiny Tim. In Judaism if you have a Jewish mother you are automatically Jewish so he is Jewish. He decided to adopt his father’s Christian faith
As I’m older I can appreciate him .. he was very intelligent I liked his regular singing voice.. sounds like those old records.. I also appreciate his beliefs when it comes to Jesus..
I reasently discovered Tiny Tim,he was an awesome exentrick personality,who had a warm heart for old music,witch I can appreciate in very hi standards,,❤ Ime sad,because I didn't discovered him earlier ❤
GREATNESS!!! THANK YOU TINY TIM!! Thank you, Fancy Ray!! BE YOUR ABSOLUTELY INDIVIDUAL SELF!!!!! ALWAYS!!!!! GOD MADE YOU PERFECT JUST THE WAY YOU ARE!!!!! Blessings in Jesus Royal Divine Name!!
I just would have love have met him tiny tim love the music since I was little girl I heard him awhile ago tiptoe through the tulips a sad thing tht past away though
Wow this is actually a really great interview. I underestimated is cause the shitty commentary but he goes more in depth here than I've heard in any other interview.
I think what's objectively true, is that he is not nor has he ever been "traditionally" good looking lol. Doesn't mean he's ugly, but he definitely doesn't fit societies view of good looking, and to be honest that makes me like him even more.
Fantastic interview (Thanks to Kraw for posting) but wondering if Ray has access to a better quality recording at all? It's one of the best interviews with Tiny Tim ever and shows more of Herbert Khaury than most - I especially love his self-administered title of Master of Confusion! He really was a brilliant man!
I thoroughly disagree with his religious beliefs but I thoroughly love and respect Tiny. I recently became a fan and he has really touched me. RIP you beautiful gentle soul.
Who cares what you don’t believe with. Just say you love and respect him, no need to expound on your position on religion. Typical atheist always about you. 😜😜
So, here I am, thinking that this is a reasonably recent (1995) interview with Tiny Tim. Then he mentions that 1969 was "26 years" ago. Then I realize that 1995 was 26 years ago. What the huh?!!!
I never knew how much in common I had with him. He actually played in a small nightclub years ago in my neighborhood. I was so surprised to see his name on the sign. I didn't go but probably should have. I didn't understand talent the way I do now. I remember in each interview how he talked about god and I agree with him. I kept thinking for a while now that maybe covid 19 is a result of gods anger with our sins and forgetting god. Now this interview all those years ago he said the same thing. He always had interesting things to say about music also. It's ashamed he died. I also didn't know that he could sing in a lower register , apart from the falsetto on tip toe through the tulips. It was nice. He sounded like those singers on the old black and white movies.
Te enganchas con sus primeras actuaciones..esas dis canciones,que él versionó,no las puedes olvidar,una vez oídas.Fuel a su personalidad..auténtico y diferente...es genial.
Where is fancy ray now?? Another lovely guy..a great presenter who listens to his guests with interest and a passion. What was this broadcast on?? Public TV? I'm UK so not sure what it called ?
So he didn't believe in divorce or sex before marriage yet was married three times. Such an enigmatic person. I love his regular singing voice like a 40s jazz crooner.
That is not a ukulele, Tiny Tim is playing a banjolele aka banjo ukulele. Tiny Tim and Weird Al have (had) a lot more in common than long curly hair. Both also have (had) unusual relationships with women.
You’re wrong. That is indeed a ukulele. A ‘banjolele’ or a banjo ukulele is shaped like a banjo and looks similar to a banjo but is a lot smaller and has four strings like a ukulele. Do a search for the well known British artist, George Formby.
WOW !!! What words of wisdom this man spoke and the only way one can gain such knowledge of wisdom of oneself is by the experience of life and learning from every right and wrong , trouble and woe , and every blessing you have been given that’s how you mature with maturity you realize you are created by our MIGHTY LORD GOD AND SAVED BY HIS SON WHO DIED FOR US ALL and with that you must not give up because you don’t control anything but your own efforts to guide you to do your best !!! thank you ... GOD BLESS Tiny Tim !!!
“Some of the great old songs.” Who the hell was this interviewer? Talk about shuck and jive. But he doesn’t seem like such a bad guy. Luckily for the listener Tiny loved talking about himself without much prompting.
I could listen to this man talk for hours.
YEP
Yes filled with such wisdom and so much love for life this man is literally a genius! I wish I could just have 2 mins or more to talk with him!
Sameee
also agree
🎶tip toe through the tulips with me,eeeee👃🏻💞
Many thanks to you Fancy Ray! Probably one of the best interviewers Tiny ever had the pleasure of talking to!
How wonderful to watch Tiny sing "Only Forever" to Miss Sue, that was beautiful! Also, Fancy Ray is a really good interviewer, he was very respectful to Tiny.
Tiny Tim died what he loved doing, gotta respect that! RIP.

Tiny Tim is missed..he is one in a million
I've watched countless videos of Tiny Tim and can't recall a single negative comment. RIP TT.

My respects to Mr. Tiny Tim. He spoke the truth and loved by many who he brought laughter and grace.
Tiny was cool, humble, and knowledgeable in music. His personna was overwhelming, I liked him a lot.❤❤❤
Ray seems like to be a very good interviewer. Hopefully I can find more of him. RIP Tiny Tim.
Great interview and what a great interviewer, full of life, energy, attention and interest !
He was a damn good interviewer for sure!
Tiny and I became INSTANT Friends.
I really-really Liked him and his Music!
Fancy Ray McCloney You are an excellent interviewer

My daughter worked with his daughter tulip. She was such a nice person with a beautiful spirit about her!✨

I think his dad was Jewish and mom was catholic?. Not sure if his dad became a priest. He was very spiritual wasn't he.
His mother was an Orthodox Jew from lutowiska Poland and her father was a rabbi She married a Christian. She named her son Herbert who became known as tiny Tim. In Judaism if you have a Jewish mother you are automatically Jewish so he is Jewish. He decided to adopt his father’s Christian faith
So he is a grandson of an orthodox rabbi
As I’m older I can appreciate him .. he was very intelligent I liked his regular singing voice.. sounds like those old records.. I also appreciate his beliefs when it comes to Jesus..
I love his voice so precious Rest In Peace tiny Tim we miss you hopefully your happy in heaven🙂🌷🌸❤️🌷🌷
Happy beyond comprehension.
I reasently discovered Tiny Tim,he was an awesome exentrick personality,who had a warm heart for old music,witch I can appreciate in very hi standards,,❤
Ime sad,because I didn't discovered him earlier ❤
wow, so much love there, great interview and singing. who would know how intellectual tiny was
Herbert died in Nov 1996, to join with the Angel's. Special guy.
GREATNESS!!! THANK YOU TINY TIM!! Thank you, Fancy Ray!! BE YOUR ABSOLUTELY INDIVIDUAL SELF!!!!! ALWAYS!!!!! GOD MADE YOU PERFECT JUST THE WAY YOU ARE!!!!! Blessings in Jesus Royal Divine Name!!
I just would have love have met him tiny tim love the music since I was little girl I heard him awhile ago tiptoe through the tulips a sad thing tht past away though
I met Fancy Ray a few times over the years, and then at Tiny Tim's funeral
He was amazing.as a kid I loved his singing I would sing to him when he came on the car radio my parents were surprised
Tim Tiny even at the end of his life was sharp as a tack and remembers every date! such an amazing mind.
Wow this is actually a really great interview. I underestimated is cause the shitty commentary but he goes more in depth here than I've heard in any other interview.
Another of the best Tiny interviews is from an Omaha public access show
Thank you.
This Fancy Ray person was probably the nicest interviewer Tiny Tim ever had.
Howard Stern said he was the best person to interview, but he focused on the OCD stuff and upset him at least once.
When he said he wasn't good looking I wanted to jump through the phone and tell him he is good looking
same😂
I think what's objectively true, is that he is not nor has he ever been "traditionally" good looking lol. Doesn't mean he's ugly, but he definitely doesn't fit societies view of good looking, and to be honest that makes me like him even more.
It’s such a shame they would only be married for just over a year before Tiny died. I knew Tiny and met miss Sue and she was his one true love. ❤️❤️

100% transparency love him
Why where so many people mean to him he's so nice
Tini Tim was an interesting person to listen to, unique and very true what he said at 9:18
The next year after this program, Tiny Tim passed. Nov 30th 1996. RIP
RIP Tiny Tim
One door closes, another opens👃🏻💞
Yea tiny tim i was only a kid but still liked him.r.i.p.
Te enganchas con sus primeras actuaciones..esas dis canciones,que él versionó,no las puedes olvidar,una vez oídas.Fuel a su personalidad..auténtico y diferente...es genial.

He is awesome
It makes me sad to hear him say that he didn’t think he was good looking . I thought he was very handsome! And he was charming
I love tiny Tim...he would have made a awesome penguin in batman.
Fantastic interview

I totally beleive with Tims belief in an "angry God". God is a God of love, but He is also a God of wrath! Thank you Tim and may God bless Tiny Tim!!!
Fancy Ray and Tiny Tim!
That is not a ukulele, Tiny Tim is playing a banjolele aka banjo ukulele.
Tiny Tim and Weird Al have (had) a lot more in common than long curly hair. Both also have (had) unusual relationships with women.
So have you but nobody is interested though. 😜😜
@@rapman5363 Thank you for you feedback.
Woahh!! I never knew those existed..Cooll thanks

There were still magic in that years.
was this really a live on location broadcast..?
That guy wants to be Little Richie
miss sue was purty!
"The can never find anything on me..."
Tiny Tim was so right. It's 2021 and God is pissed.
love fancy ray
You can definitely notice how out of breath Tiny Tim gets between speaking. Congestive heart failure is a terrible disease .
He was a trend setter love it or not.
“Some of the great old songs.”
Who the hell was this interviewer?
Talk about shuck and jive.
But he doesn’t seem like such a bad guy.
Luckily for the listener Tiny loved talking about himself without much prompting.
How did he die?
I think it was a heart attack
2023.
Lol... Dolomite got a talk show.
This is the most overrated no- talent that probably ever lived.
Loook how unfair they were to black people they didnt even give them good quality cametas like they had
