    I did not appreciate or understand Country music when I was a child, I love all of it now . there is a sincerity , precision and just pure talent in it.. but this man Wow!! what a voice .. Yoda ling is a talent , his range is no less than phenomenal and he probably inspired many in music ..Like Roy Orbison , think of it ..Slim was no less than incredible now that I watch him , and I believe that Kaufman really saw the talent there , he seemed to be enamored with him ..after all , who couldn't .. I saw Slim on Johnny Carson and saw the human he was there , Carson had a great respect for him ans Slim talked about how he knew to some he was joke and that must have hurt I cannot imagine , he should not had to feel that pain of mockery.. Slim Whitman , You are awesome to me ..sing in heaven with that Heavenly voice we love you !!!!

    I have often cried when I hear this song. It always gets to me. It is, for me, the ultimate song for a man to sing to his greatest love. Like the funeral scene in "Out of Africa." Or some poetry, like this one by Jim Morrison: "Astonishing vision. A gray film melts off the eyes and runs down the cheeks. Farewell." (Haiku further compressed, he would say)

    From what I know about Slim Whitman, he was a genuinely good person, and the fact that his son joined him in the music business tells a lot about what kind of father he was.

    Sublime. Sounds like he is singing from some distant planet, where voices reach notes that mere mortals dream about. Timeless and kinda scary lyrics too.
