Tiny Tim was known to have an encyclopedic knowledge of music. It’s not scripted. It was a natural talent of his.

I absolutely love Tiny Tim! He's sweet, kind hearted, and had an awesome memory! Rip Tiny Tim

Tiny's trying his hardest to keep his cool but you can just tell that he's thinking "Oh my god I'm talking to Bing Crosby!"

His vocabulary is very proper and nice. I love it.

I have always loved Tiny Tim's voice, he was so underrated...most people only know him for tiptoe though the tulips, with his signature falsetto tone but he had a wide vocal range and varied repertoire of songs.

I get the feeling this is Tiny Tim having a highlight of his life. This is very sweet.

This is the best performance by Tiny Tim I've seen. I'm glad that Bing didn't make fun of him. TT was funny and charming.

WOW----I'm amazed how Tiny Tim captured the actual Bing voice--not only vibrato, but Tiny was extremely close to Bing's original hit. Very nice, "TT." He actually is more talented than his "Tiptoe through the Tulips" over the top persona.

I'm so happy that Bing didn't make fun of Tim and respected his knowledge and let him talk, even complimenting his vocals

His smile is so infectious! I swear, it's like a little ray of sunshine. ❤️🖤❤️

Tiny Tim's popularity may not have been long. But I'm so happy he was able to see all his dreams come true. A "freak" from New York that nobody believed in, would you have believed in him? Yet he became a star and met and sang with the idols he listened to his whole life in a dark small apartment.

Just wonderful. And so classy for him to be appreciated by Bing and the audience at the time and not simply the object of dumb jokes.

How touching to see Herbie treated with GREAT respect and allowed to show his astonishing knowledge of early popular music.

Tiny Tim was really who he appeared to be. I met him once in Grand Central Station at midnight while I was waiting for a train, and he was kind and gracious to everyone who came up to him

It may have been weird for them at the time but I’m glad Tiny Tim has transcended. Yes he was strange but in hindsight, he was completely wholesome. I think we can all learn a lesson from him to just be who we are.

This is wonderful ❤ I've been so depressed. Watching Tiny Tim just eases the pain a little bit. THANK YOU for posting. Love you Tiny Tim!

Tiny Tim has always been the object of ridicule, but I think he is very awesome and talented. He is also very intelligent. I hate it when people make fun of him!

He was a great man. Very kind person. I feel like he may be on the spectrum a bit, but that is what made him so special.

Tiny Tim was such an exceptional singer.

Fire..... Tim was over looked because not enough people understood that he was singing early 1900s style music perfectly. Maybe artistic. An A-gamer without a doubt.

the mutual respect and affection is profound

Tiny Tim is the man.

Crosby was one of the few people that did not openly make fun of Tiny Tim. The "T T" was not meant as a jab, he was surprised by the audience response.

What a delight! So wonderful to see Tiny Tim singing with Bing Crosby. I think Tiny Tim's vibrato was truly matchless!

Tiny Tim had some pipes. And I’m willing to bet Bing was sincere when he addressed his vibrato. It’s out of this world.

His musical knowledge and knowledge of Hollywood in general is on another level. As is his voice!!!! Tiny Tim is a true artist!!! RIP

Wow Bobbie Gentry!! What a talent and beauty. They don't make them like they used to that's for sure.

Such a kind hearted person

A great duo performance. Bing is his usual easygoing, affable self, and respectful of Tiny Tim. And Tiny Tim holds his own in this segment, rather entertaining. Thank you Nicoley 133 for the download.

Man some talent on that stage, its a wonder the timbers could hold them up and Bobbie Gentry sure was easy on the eyes

tiny tim is such a sweet man i love him so much

God bless Tiny Tim. His wonderful talent was a gift to the world.

I can tell that he was a little nervous! 😁 This is so precious, I can't stop smiling til the end of the video 🤗

Tiny sounding better than Bing on sounding like Bing. This is amazing television. Holy Crap, fantastic

What makes this ALL the more amazing is this is pre Internet and DVD/VHS rentals...how Tiny Tim would have amassed that knowledge as it would have required a lot of manual legwork...theaters playing all those old movies would have been one of the only ways? Books the other?

Watching Tiny Tim stand before one of his many idols is like watching a child in a candy shop. Such a wonder!

Tiny Tim should've joked about Bing's age by calling him "B.C."

Love Tiny Tim...what a total gentleman and nice guy. RIP , thank you for the memories

I could feel his vibrato on my phone! What a singer Tiny was.

Never gave Tiny Tim a thought after his initial flurry of fame. But seeing him again some 50 or so years latter I have a new found respect for him. A lovely guy all round. Let atheist god shine on you Tim. Regards Joe

Tim was among the most unique and loveable entertainers. Just brilliant and perfect for those times.

He is just adorable and i love him so much 💕☺️

I can't believe that this Tiny Tim was this talented. YOU'RE A GREAT SINGER MR. TINY TIM.

Tim's playing up a campy / weirdo feminine side was all an act that was designed to market his act - and it worked brilliantly - plus it was really funny. And he was a virtual encyclopedia of American popular music and show tunes, from the late 19th century to the 20s, 30s and 40s. He was a really nice fellow that most didn't get or understand. He was also quite talented.

Really cool to see those three together!!! Bobbie Gentry is gorgeous!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍

Omgosh tiny tim was such an amazing person so respectful and kind.

Bobbie Gentry was so beatiful 😍

"vibrato large enough to chuck a Labrador through" heheeee won't ever forget that one

What a charismatic moment to be transported back to the times when there was fabulous shows that were so watchable, shear talent, like there ain’t today.

He is such a kind hearted man RIP tiny Tim 3

Por eso Tiny Tim es uno de mis más queridos artistas y cantantes... Genial...

Tiny Tim has a heart of gold . I love Tini Tim .

I love his voice,it's amazing.R.I.P.

I have this stupid smile on my face just by watching Tiny Tim being himself... I am just learning about him and he seemd to be one of the truest people ever.... RIP

Wow, obviously some of those songs I haven't heard of but listen to a tiny saying put a smile on my face. A true talent

I don’t remember this! Tiny Tim really was a walking encyclopedia! No internet! Amazing.

Wow! What a classic from a time long gone. Thanks for uploading this.💛👍💛

HOW CAN PEOPLE NOT LIKE TT?!?

i love tiny tim he seems so sweet! and WHOO WHAT A VOICE VIBRATO!

El nacio en una epoca equivocada era presa de burlas por ser una persona con un estilo unico que los ignorantes no entendian pero en talento y carisma nadie le ganaba que lastima que lo invitaran para tratarlo como fenomeno de circo cuando tenia que tratarlo de la mejor manera para mi era un genio incomprendido y talentoso por que amo su musica y estilo 😍

Tiny Tim was one of my earlier memories. Bought the 45 of Tiptoe Through the Tulips when I was a kid. But I'm only now seeing these interviews and hearing him talk. It gives you a much a deeper insight into his personality. Fascinating

I used to think that he was just a comedy novelty act. But later realized that he was a true scholar of the music of the first half of the twentieth century. He could have been a very effective professor at a music school. As far as his singing goes, don't let the falsetto kid you. He was right on pitch and sang with heart and emotion.

It is a true pity that the camp and novelty aspect of Tiny Tim's career overshadowed his knowledge and real ability. I'm glad videos like this are out there.

absolutely on top of his game!!!

God Bless Tiny Tim !

This is absolutely incredible. What a gem!! Thank you so much for sharing this with us!

Man he had a great range at least 2 maybe 3 octives and perfect tone I don't think he got enough credit as a singer

He has a great memory

Tim was such a kind and gentle appearing man,

absolutely brilliant..TT is a hero of mine and has been since i was 10 yrs old.im 34 now...it makes me sad ppl dont kno about tiny tim.and bing! what an absolute legend.what a fantastic clip.thnk u so much whoever posted this

I saw this on TV back when it originally aired, and have always remembered it fondly. It seemed then, as it seems to me now, that a lot of what they said to each other was unscripted. Anyway, the result is wonderful.

The good ole day's of television in America ♡♡♡

Tiny Tim: the best!

Call me Bing. Omg. I'm a big Crosby fan. If he said that to me......I can hear myself now " Yes sir Mr. BING". Thank you sir... LOL. Mr. Bing gave us so many wonderful films. A legend. ❤

2 great people that we love RIP ''

This what I love about sixties and seventies variaty shows, having people sing together that would never have record together, Crosby, Gentry, and Tim, odd but entertaining trio.

I thank KZfaq for giving me such an appreciation for Mr Tiny Tim. He was such a gentleman. So kind and respectful. I have to admit that as a boy in the ‘60’s I was kinda creeped out by him. But now I love this guy.

These days, Tiny Tim would've been recognised as an artistic savant, it's widely recognised that he could recognise each reference number from each record. Such a shame that in England, he was perceived as taking the piss out of British culture, but even as a British person I don't think he was capable of such a thing. Genuinely talented man who didn't , in life, get the recognition he deserved. Top man. RIP from England

Two legends.

This is gold

When Tim begins to sing, first astonishment, then admiration and then a trace of livid envy appear on Crosby's face. What appears astonishing is the mixture of these three sentiments, and the total incomprehension of the public, obtuse and respectable, of this small, grotesque drama between two artists at the highest levels.

I wish I had that amazing range and vibrato.

Se ve tan tranquilo y humilde

That last song is fantastic!

Really nice guy and good memory

clever guy was Tim . great fun and knew how to get a laugh

She is absolutely gorgeous

Que hombre tan genial y sorprendente fue, es y será Tiny Tim.

Maravilloso Tiny Tim en el escenario, realmente adoré❤

What a pair.....awesome.

Aw, Tiny Tim you so sweet! No wonder Vikcy fell head over heels with you X3

Legends

Wow, Tim sounds just like he does on the records! closest I’ve ever seen to that!

Awesome!

I always come back to this video when I need a mood booster.

Tiny Tim singing `Tip Toe Through The Tulips` is a joy to beheard!

Excellent vocals!

I'm amazed that Tiny Tim refered to everyone as mister or miss! You don't see a lot of people with good manners.

I was no where near this talented but I study American pop culture for the 70's, 80's, and 90's as a Japanese student. Among my peers, I was the encyclopedic knowledge of pop culture. I was obsessed with it when I was a teen. I used to smuggle TV guides and magazines from American base where it was stationed near where I lived in Misawa. It was practically my bible lol.

Talk about a summit meeting! Magnificent.
