SLIM WHITMAN
Sings 20 Hymns You Love Most!
I f you think you know the real Slim Whit
man, we challenge you to read on...there's much
more to Slim Whitman than you think!
This collection of magnificent hymns from
the one and only Slim Whitman brings you back
to his original roots. Even though Slim is mostly
known for country songs, he's always recorded
and performed Gospel Music.
Born in 1924, Slim fell in love with music at
an early age and learned to yodel while listening
to The Father of Country Music, limmie Rodaers.
While only 17, he caught the eyes of 15-year-old
Geraldine Crist, a preacher’s daughter, and they
were soon married. It was the beginning of a
love affair that is still going strong today.
Although Slim is right-handed, he taught
himself to play the guitar with his left hand after
he lost two fingers on his right hand in an acci
dent. After stints as a meat-packer, minor-league
baseball plaver and even part-time mailman.
Slim knew that his true calling was to sing. And
did he sing!
Slim was discovered by Colonel Tom Parker:
yes, that's the same Colonel Parker who dis-
covered Elvis, and Tom knew a star when he found one. Over 80 million records later. Slim is still loved by millions of
adoring fans around the world.
Slim Whitman will always be known as the King of selling albums on TV - which proves his appeal to music lov
ers from all walks of life.
After recording hits like Rose-Marie, I'm Casting My Lasso Towards the Sky, Keep It A Secret and Unchain My
Heart, Slim felt a strong calling to record a Gospel album. It was his way of letting his fans know where his strength
comes from.
Although he's now retired and living in Florida with his family, his passion for music - especially Gospel Music
- is a legacy that Slim Whitman has ensured for future generations of music lovers.

ships in the Third Fleet, played on the
Fiji Islands, anywhere we could. It helped
keep me ready for when I came back.”
Feller feels the Bob Feller Museum is
a testament to how hard work can make
dreams come true. “I’m reminded of that
fact every time I come here,” he says. “I
started out playing ball in the kitchen,
then later in the yard with my little dog
as the outfielder. And look what hap
pened to me." 7s
