what year was this

​@@pelonbp209The year was 1977.

@richardsmith3129 damn he was 37, and she was 17 wtf lol I'm 37

@@richardsmith3129 No, it was 1969.

Ditto

Yeah must've been crazy watching a 37 year old predator marry a teenager

@@jigokunokishi917if you’ve seen interviews, you’d see that Tiny Tim had no predictors reasons to marry Miss Vicki, and it was common at that time period for teens in their late teens to marry much older guys

predatory*

@SophieSanwogou what you're saying it it was more acceptable to be a sexual predator at the time. Kinda like that Canadian kids gameshow host who would kiss little girls on the lips even if they didn't want him to back in the 80s. Fergie Oliver was his name. The audience laughed when he did it, but there's no denying it was a child predator

no way

I love memories like this. When we all had to wait for things and it made it all the more special

Wow.... I love the músic by this singer ... The cover stayng Alive is fancy.... Gretting s belong Papudo, Chile .

Incredible how so many did that with ease back in the 1920s, and it was considered a phenomenon in the seventies.

Khaury

Strange perhaps. But a VERY good and kind man.

@@retroguy9494Bull. Can we please stop rewriting history? You can have your own opinion about his musical talents, but TinyTim was far from a “good and kind” man. Look up the Morton Downey interview where he states that he thinks he “had a right” to HIT his teen wife over adultery, and insisted on no birth control in their marriage due to him being a hardline Catholic, after which his wife has their daughter who he TOTALLY ABANDONED physically and financially. His teen wife who he married at nearly 4 years old said that the only she got out of the marriage was meeting some famous people. Not a standout fantastic individual in Tiny Tim.

@@DoctorShocktor You keep speaking of my 'rewriting history' but it's obvious to ME that you have some pretty tainted opinions about people when it comes to women. I'd really like to know where that comes from? Do you have some personal experience with spousal abuse or were you in some way abused as a child? When I said he was a 'good man' I was more referring to his charitable works and how he appreciated his fans. In fact, on the night he suffered his fatal heart attack he was in the middle of a song at a benefit concert for which he received no money. I never heard about him hitting his wife. In fact, after their marriage, the mostly lived apart until they divorced. So I don't know from what credible source you obtained your information on that one. Regarding his daughter Tulip, you say he abandoned her physically and financially. Yet, he fought for full custody of her and got it from a New York State court. This was reported by credible press sources at the time. So if anyone is 'rewriting history' it's YOU. Finally, regarding his Catholicism and birth control, what is so bad or wrong about that? I'm Catholic myself and that has always been the position of the Catholic Church. Although Pope Paul VI DID allow the 'rhythm method' for married couples and now quiet recently, while not changing the churches official position, Pope Francis told married couples in poor South American countries that it may be better to consider birth control rather than bring children into a world of poverty and starvation. Besides, Tiny Tim only had the ONE child. Plus his wives knew he was Catholic when they married him. While I am dead set against abortion, I have no problem with birth control even as a Catholic But what is so 'wrong' in your opinion about a married man being against birth control?

His full name was Herbert Buckingham Khaury.

And?

☠️

I thought the exact same thing! Well!

20-year age difference!

What's more insane is that such a large age gap was even acceptable then. I'm sure most people didn't notice or care back then

@@nedwart if anyone did that today, they'd be arrested.

Hahahaha, fucking wild. Such a fucked up time. 😂😂

Horrifying and then Carson insisted on kissing her and said “she’s a good kisser” to a room of laughter. 😥

I thought that because their backs were turned during the ceremony, both Tiny and Vicky showed that they weren't taking their wedding as a publicity stunt opportunity; they were taking it sincerely. You're right, there have been all kinds of unique wedding ceremonies. I guess that because this took place in the late 1960s, people tended to see uniqueness negatively.

She was 17 and he 37. Nasty

Respect?? He kissed the bride 🤣

@GlamGal 710 In most religions ceremonies, the bride and groom have their backs turned to the crowd. Least in Catholic/Christian ceremonies I've been in or gone to. It's the same reason the guests face the front of the church. The chuch considers it rude to turn the back away from the Alter, crosses or the Jesus on the cross hangs. Which is ironic because that's what the priest/pastor does the entire time they preach or lead a ceremony(has his back to those items) I don't think it was any more then that. Although the entire wedding was yuckie due to her age.. and his. He always skeeved me out

@Noemi Cervantes have you not been to weddings as an adult? It's common practice to kiss the bride on the cheek. Not like he slipped her the tongue 🤢

Miss Vicki married several more times and has settled in Tennessee with hubby on a small farm.

@@patriciahufft3103Sweet ! Glad she’s still around

@@patriciahufft3103Yeah, she was HIT by Tiny Tim for adultery, impregnated and LEFT with the child and no support, and then she skitted around through a bunch more failed marriages. “Sweet”.

@@DoctorShocktor Are you expecting men to put up with adultery and to be forced into raising kids that aren't their own?

@@DoctorShocktor You mean she was hit for ADULTRY, capitalization is key here, lol. Adultery is no joke, that is the biggest break of trust and love you can do. Also, you must be real fun at parties.

Me too, scary isn't it.

Can we please stop rewriting history? You can have your own opinion about his musical talents, but TinyTim was far from a “kind and gentle” man.

​@DoctorShocktor you act like that was his WHOLE personality. He made a mistake, but he also made good music that's all he'll be remembered for. That's it.

​@@Wiseoldgeezer75so your only defense for beating his TEEN wife is that you enjoyed his music? That's not a very solid arguement there bud. I capitalized TEEN because I think it's creepy this dude married a TEEN even was 37. He was a creepy ephebophile loser

​@@Wiseoldgeezer75you sound slow.

@@Gnarlvro I can't "sound like" anything if you haven't heard my voice. The monologues you're hearing from reading my comment come from your head, so think about that.

Sweet

Most wedding parties are like that

Except that she's 17 he is 37

@@mariom6602 Not anymore!!! Lol!

@@dea9273 still he was marrying a 17 year old while being almost 40

@@mariom6602 You just added 3 years to his age, but not 3 years to hers. He was 37. She was 4 months shy of her 18th birthday, and had parental consent. They had a daughter together.

​@@mariom6602 It was a wonderful memory for me because I was a child, and my whole family was together, sitting in the living room watching together.

Tiny liked his beer!

Tiny Tim and Miss Vicky had honey and milk on their wedding day that was their drink.

Pero se nota que no lo quería,solo por interés y después se dedicó a desnudarse para una revista

I thought I was the only one thinking she looked similar to Karen! I think it's the hairstyle she has in this video especially. Karen Carpenter had a similar hairstyle in some of the Carpenters videos.

And, according to Ed McMahon, it was the most watched program of the year (second only to the Super Bowl).

LOL, kind of like the Luke and Laura of the 60's.

I watched

@@kingsize127 I think the astronauts landing on the moon for the first time had the largest audience. Second was the tiny tim wedding.

I was same age as Miss Vicki here... 17 yrs old

I know. One of the weirder random facts I often ponder from time to time.

they’re dead..

@@TjCox1993 so are a lot of people deceased but we still watch the reruns enjoy the memories.

she was 17 and he was 37.

@@BaileyHughes Priscilla was only 14 when she came to live with Elvis in Graceland. Elvis dated other women and one of his sayings was "you can't be married and be a rockstar" eventually Elvis married Priscilla.. when she was old enough.

But it was JOHNNY who really wanted it. HE was the one with the drinking problem. Not Ed.

@@retroguy9494Also Ed: comes to work drunk

@@gm12551 Yea but you need to know the backstory on that one. Ed had attended a charity event earlier that afternoon where cocktails were served. He just had one too many there and when he showed up to tape the show in the late afternoon he was a bit wasted. It was only that one time. And it was FUNNY. Johnny noticed it and they just went with it and it was hysterical. Johnny, on the other hand, was a NASTY drunk. Which is one of the main reasons he gave up drinking.

I'm pretty sure they're dead now lol.

@@fairydogmother2752tiny Tim is. Miss Vicki is alive and well

Bit late on the congratulations lol

He’s dead, they’re divorced, she’s probably married again

Nonetheless, better late than never!@@Tn-qr1kb

He’s Jewish. Sanhedrin 54b. A few thousand sex offenders a year get moved to Israel with no charges for their Israeli citizenship gained by Jewish heritage.

CHILD? She was literally 3 months shy of turning 18. Guys were going off to fight in Vietnam at her age at that time.

I hope you will take into consideration that only as of recently in world history has it been taboo IN AMERICA for a 17 year old to marry, whereas in many cultures, including many cultures still today, 17 is quite a respectable age to marry. In fact many merry younger than 14. Arbitrarily put the age of adulthood at 18 and now 21... for reasons, does not mean it is inappropriate.

@@rogerhuffmanjr.7695 Sanhedrin 54b and Tim was Jewish. Epstein, Saville etc.

@@dea9273 he met her months prior, she had to be either 16 or fresh 17 when they met.

I didn't watch it live but I also think that was bizarre!!!

Why?

How?

Jesus, people. It’s taking massive advantage of a immature minor. People today - some of them.

I've seen Tiny Tim on the Howard Stern Show. And he was always very truthful! The man had a fantastic memory! He could remember dates and times of events and baseball players . What made Tiny Tim unique was his falsetto voice. And his personality he always told the truth.And when he spoke he was interesting.

Buckingham

“sought after”? LMAO. He ABANDONED their child, hit her, and had two more marriages. Quite the catch.

@@DoctorShocktor Do you know that your allegations are defamatory and unfounded?

@@INDIGOTV02nah they’re true, his granddaughter spoke out against him.

All we saw was a "rear view"! Pathetic.

I think they did that on purpose, because they were so shy!

They said they did that to prove it was real because tiny Tim didn’t want people to think that it was fake

@@alexiskaczor3510 you are correct!

I was thinking the same thing

Surley you jest! There is no comparison whatsoever!

Been trying to find it myself for yrs, seems there’s no such

Sim

17 is legal for marriage. It is lower in many states. Even into the 1980s people that young were getting married.

@@crownprincesebastianjohano7069Yeah, and it’s STILL not a good idea.

@@crownprincesebastianjohano7069I read she had to get her parents written permission to get married

😁👍

8 years.

@@lorenzoblum868 5 years.

Some sources say 5 years, some say 8. It doesn't matter much any more, so just split the difference.

If we're taking bets, I'll put MY money on 12!

They were married for 8, but Miss Vicki said their relationship only really lasted for 2

My mom wouldn't let me stay up that night. I remember it was a huge event.

Not everyone believes in a god, nor does everybody have family. So no, that's not how it "should" be. It was sweet, though. Hopefully you can learn to be more open-minded and respecting of different types of people. Take care.

​@@johnball8758 so have lots of people.

Warm milk and honey is so good

@@whoareyoutoaccusemelol seems like someone struck a cord 😂 cope harder snowflake

@@whoareyoutoaccusemebud you are chronically online…

You know that was just a joke right? I mean, sure, he drank cocktails socially. But in reality it was JOHNNY who had the drinking problem.

@@retroguy9494 Very true. I read Johnny's bio, and his alcoholism wasn't much of a secret. Still miss him, though!

@@stellarocquie7957 True. And he was really nasty and violent when he drank too. Which, by his own admission, was the main reason he gave it up.

@@retroguy9494In reality they BOTH had alcohol problems. Try not to rewrite history.

@@DoctorShocktor I am NOT 'rewriting' history. As I said, Ed drank socially and sure, one in a while he had one too many. But he was NOT the nasty and violent drink that Johnny was which is why Johnny eventually quit drinking altogether. It was part of the act. Like Dean Martin for instance portraying the constantly drunk alcoholic. Most people thought this was real. But in most of his performances, it was apple juice in his glass. Sure, like Ed, he drank socially like most of that generation. But he was not a drunk or an alcoholic. Although many sources state that after his son died, he DID in fact begin to drink to excess.

Oh PLEASE Karen! She could most certainly marry today at 17 in New York (which is where this took place). She just needs parental permission. And her father DID give her away so he obviously approved!

If a 17 year old marries a man, no matter what age, in her own free will, she has every right to. Calling that rape is sexist and belittling. You can gossip about it all you want, insinuating that she doesn’t know what she is doing and that she soon will leave him, alright, do what sou want. But calling it rape is like saying she is not only making a mistake but is also way too stupid to even be accountable for mistakes.

@@joachimb5721 It's STATUTORY RAPE, and the fact that he was 20 years older than her would weigh heavily in such a case. That was over 50 years ago. Times, perspectives and laws have changed drastically in that time. And yes, LEGALLY, 17, like it or not, is still considered to be a child. Educate yourself before you make such incorrect, uninformed statements. And get some anger management counseling to help control your ranting and outbursts.

@@stellarocquie7957 How can you call that rape. She literally said "yes". And married or not, if she doesn't want to have sex with her husband, she still can say no at any time. If he still proceeds, THAT would be rape, but how do you want to know if that was the case here. And I don't know about U.S. laws (yes, I'm uneducated) but in Europe a 17-year old is not a child and I don't think it is wise to treat them as one. Humans don't switch from "completely not being able to make decisions" to "fully independent, no one decides for me" in one day. Give them more and more responsibilities over years. -- I don't know where you see outbursts and rantings. Maybe it's the way you read my comments?

Her parents gave consent so it was all legal. No statutory rape here.
