yes Slim was very big in his day, lived to a grand old age of 90 I believe.

Never seen him live, though looking at his youtube videos seemed to be a little dull of a performer, though a great singer.

As regards the song itself, Im more of a fan of this Irish country singer who sang it in his heyday, an old guy now too unfortunately.

Isn't it a shame how we chronicle and see the stars when they were young and just look at them now.

We are all going the same way too.
