Loved his music. He made yodelling a fine art!

The best yodeller in the business. Many a time Ive had one of his songs playing while in the kitchen, and Ive joined in with his yodelling, to the dismay of my little dog!

That I cannot deny.   ;D  He was certainly very successful and had three number one's in a row.  My favourite was Lucky Devil
which was his first record and got to #22 in the charts.

I love Country Music through from late 50s to the present day but Slim was never on my playlist. He did a lot for country music though and will be missed by all his fans. There must be one hell of a band up there now.  8-)
