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.
