Slim Whitman

(1/1)

ToddF:
Star of one of the great TV commercials of all time and reportedly, an influential country singer.  ;)

Kidding, he really was, and an early supporter of an up and coming Elvis.

RIP.  90 is a good run. 

Slim Whitman Commercial

trapeze:
Rush used Whitman's "Uno Paloma Blanca" for his "Peace" updates. I would have never heard of him but for that frequent mention...

Slim Whitman - Paloma Blanca 1976
Rush would play it with bombs exploding and machine gun fire in the background.

Pandora:
His singing of "Indian Love Call" was used against the aliens in "Mars Attacks".

charlesoakwood:

Yes, he defeated the whole world of mars with one love song after all of Jack Nicholson's diplomacy failed.  Rest in peace, Slim.
