I worked as a crew member on the set of the movie BLOOD HARVEST. Tiny Tim was the biggest name involved in the production but he treated everyone as they were his friends. Never once did he act like he was above everyone. When I first met him, I was star struck but he made me feel like I was just as big a star as he. May he R.I.P

There will never be another Tiny Tim God bless him

He was suffering from heart failure. Wonderful guy. A walking encyclopedia of vaudeville knowledge and History .

He is probably the nicest person to ever live

Those kids Have No Idea how lucky they are. :)

I want to give him a big warm hug.

Tiny was still in good voice at this time. He's a great example of succeeding through adversity and being true to yourself and God. Never give up on your dream. Keep persevering no matter how many times you get rejected and knocked down in life. RIP Tiny.

I met Tiny Tim several times n the mid 90’s, the last time was just months before he died. He was such a fun and gregarious man to be around. His vast musical knowledge was second to none. I’m so glad I got to see him live and interact with this once in a lifetime gem of Americana!! 🌷🎤

Everyone loved Tiny Tim. Too bad he didn't get to live to a grand old age. He brought a lot of joy and smiles to a lot of people. Tiny, God bless you, wherever you are!!!

Un hombre que peleo toda su vida para ser reconocido como un artista,este video te hace ver la cara de un hombre reconociendo que lo logró...Grande Tiny Tim.

Look at the genuine joy on his face while listening to these children perform. The man spent his whole life becoming a walking encyclopedia of Tin Pan Alley and Vaudeville style music. He put his put own little twist on those tunes, created an eccentric public persona to catch attention, and the world was once again introduced to these forgotten tunes because of his work. His fifteen-minutes of fame ended nearly twenty five years before this video was made, yet through his efforts, there's a new generation singing these songs some seventy years after they were popular. I guess you could say it's almost like watching a proud father. At least that's my take on it. I know the story of his very last performance was very sad. I figured the least I could to was play "Tiptoe Through the Tulips" for my first dance at my wedding to let him know, wherever he is, that some of us haven't forgotten him.

What a wonderful man.

Hasta siempre Tim Tiny siempre serás recordado y reconocido en la mente de muchas personas en el mundo,tu música nunca morirá y estará vigente por toda la eternidad,descansa en paz ídolo te lo mereces,hasta nunca.⭐

It may sound crazy but I was born in 93 (3 years before his death) I never heard about him until 99 (three years aftet his death) when spongebob square pants debut. Spongebob first debut episode feature Loving in the moonlight and it wasn't until i got older and thought to look for the song again that i fell in love with Tiny Tim. I thank spongebob for blessing kids in my age group to someone who is uniquely. The only regret is that we couldn't cherish him while he was alive and must look to video and other people memories for this darling man work on life.

I don't know why but this makes me cry

Liked watching his face listening to the kids sing his song, must of gave him joy knowing his music is eternal : )

It was obvious that Tiny's health was failing. Yet he demonstrated something quite admirable here--that he respected and encouraged people; he didn't let success go to his head. From what I've read in other videos' comments and in here, apparently he was a genuinely nice person. Rest in peace and God Bless Tiny Tim.

The person filming was weird, but this was wonderful

Always a professional. I believe if he were alive and still performing today he would be packing houses across the country full of people wanting to hear and pay homage to a national treasure.

I am glad I found this video! I met Tiny at the airport in St. Louis. He was catching a plane to Iowa...for a 60s rock concert and apparently this!! He flew with Mickey Dolenz, The Animals and Donnie Brooks. He was so gracious and kind. He sang for me. I will always remember how he treated me.

Me da un inmenso orgullo y alegría que después de tanto sufrimiento, tuvo un homenaje en vida. Creo que el mostrate que hay toda una generación que creció con tu ejemplo, es la máxima demostración de respeto.

What a great school district to have Tiny Tim in the house! Wow! The gym was full of enthusiastic and very well behaved students - a real credit to the school and the staff.

I believe this video is taken at Ruby Van Meter Elementary in Des Moines. There is a banner that says Ruby Van Meter Vikings just behind Tiny Tim's head when he is sitting. Also RVM is a special needs school, which would explain the large around for children in wheel chairs. Also toward the end the camera operator says "Say Hi to the people in Ames" and his response "I had a wonderful WHEN I was there" makes it sound like he is not in Ames but that the camera operator is from Ames. I saw this on Reddit and it was labeled that it took place in Ames but it did not.

How absolutely necessary to zoom into Tiny's hair !!

He carried his ukelele in a paper bag...that's sadder than the end of Marley and me.

This is one of the sweetest and kindest men to ever walk the face of the earth.

I wish Tiny Tim visited my school. From that moment on, every story I ever told would start with "Hey, did I ever tell you about the time Tiny Tim visited my school?"

If I was even in the presence of this man I would run up to him just to talk to him for hours such an amazing man and genuine

SOY MEXICANO Y APENAS ESTOY CONOCIENDO DE TINY... ES EL HOMBRE MÁS DÓCIL QUE HE CONOCIDO, ME INSPIRA MUCHO RESPETO Y ADMIRACIÓN...

Absolutely brilliant! Tiny Tim was a genious. Thanks from Spain for uploading the video.

That extreme close up at the end is a cinematic masterpiece. There’s such a story behind his eyes, you can tell

Estoy segura que para el fue el más hermoso homenaje que le hicieron en su vida.

I was born when he died unfortunately, but im very glad that i discovered him at least!

I love Tiny Tim so much.He is one of if not the most real and brave souls I've ever seen on the TV.Such meekness and humility and an all round gentle beautiful Human being.Couldn't help but notice that in this video he did not really seem very well.That life force spark had all but gone out. I have well over a 100 Tiny Tim videos on my KZfaq so if anyone's up for some more close up and personal insights into Tiny then please by all means come along and take a gentle trip as we visit the World of Tiny Tim for a few hours.Thankyou for the music Tiny and for making this World a better place having had you here for a while.Look forward to having a beer and a chats with you when I cross over after this crazy ride called life.R.I.P HERBERT BUCKINGHAM KHOURY AKA TINY TIM 1932 - 1996.YOUR BEAUTIFULNESS AND MUSIC AND ESSENCE LIVES ON AS DOES THE LOVE.YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.

A very humble guy. I remember the first time I saw him on "Laugh In," he was an instant hit.

Loved that man since I first saw him on Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In!

I used to think what a weird man when he used to sing but he is just so wonderful im so mad i wasnt born when he was alive.

Such a beautiful, humble and incredibly talented man. Thanks for all the love and joy you bring to the world.

Tiny Tim lived in a hotel in Des Moines for four years in the '90s. He had two managers there. My dentist had him as a patient along with Tammy Faye Bakker.

Excelente vídeo.....que grato debe haber sido para él,escuchar que lo querían.....es un hombre adulto con la inocencia de un niño....se percibe de inmediato su sencillez y cariño....descansa en paz buen hombre....🙏🙏

He was one of the worlds leading musical archivist.

I feel for Tiny Tim here because he looks stressed and he looks very tired ♥️😔

This would be a Blessing to see such a beautiful man...kids don't have a clue who he is .

nunca había visto un hombre tan sencillo en mi vida grande Tiny descansa en paz tu música perdurará para siempre.

Very deeply missed :( He died when I was 10 years old and I only heard about him about a a year ago.

Still blowing kisses, that was so sweet.

Oh, and another thing, watching the faces of those kids, while they probably forgot most of the people who came to visit and perform at their school, I bet they never will forget the day TT came.

Man they was lucky to have him come there I love him. He was one of a kind. He is always missed

4:48 Camera-man thought it was completely necessary to zoom into Tiny's hair -.-

Que hombre tan bueno se veía feliz escuchando su música capo la primera ves y voy a seguir escuchando su música

Having grown up in Iowa, and being a TT fan from day 1, watching this video impacts me on multiple levels. Among other things, TT was a genius, a cultural treasure, a human being, and the fact that he went to this place and spent time with these people, my people, speaks volumes to me. Tiny Tim should've traveled to another galaxy, and hopefully will in some form or another someday.

Fascinating footage, thanks so much for sharing this!

only people who dis liked have no idea how music works .. he can do two kinda of vocals not many can do this he can do a duet by him self

i am so sad i wasn't alive too meet him people dont get his unique vocal cords and what he can do with hi voice he can duet by his self alot have no idea cause they dont know music this man had an amazing talent

I always found him to be so genuine , authentic and sweet!

Cought myself clapping at the end LOL this man was great!

Someone famous said that tiny was the most real person he ever met

R.I.P. Tiny Tim

Grande tiny tim 😍 siempre fue un niño en el cuerpo de un adulto 😚😶

Que bueno era creo que fue adelantado para su época un excelente artista y ser humano !!

Thanks for sharing, R.I.P. Tiny Tim

Simplemente enamorado de este ser humano y su voz de falsete, tiene algo en su ser y en su voz tan mágico que se me hace imposible dejar de ver sus videos

A room full of happy smiley faces,,god i wish i could acheive that. A real good guy.🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 👍

Doesnt seem age affected his falsetto whatsoever, as I’ve seen happen sometimes with other artists. I’d assume relatively clean living (as far as alcohol and smoking) probably did his voice a lot of good, I wish it had only done more for his poor heart. God bless tiny Tim

The Toronto Maple Leaf tie that Tiny is wearing was a gift from me.....and it now resides in my personal collection.

He was actually a good singer and sang in a deep voice on some older tunes, odd personality but that made him charming. He and his daughter were I heard never too close.

wonderful. Tiny Tim is timeless....... Yay!

Thank you so much for uploading this, it always leaves me in tears. xx

Que voz!!!! Era para ter sido um dos maiores cantores com o reconhecimento em vida! Que pena... nasceu na epoca errada.

Those kids are so lucky to have tim un their presence

In 1969 in England, I took him a song I thought would suite him in George Formby Style.He insisted that I bring in everything I had written up tpo that time,all on reel to reel tape..He was planning to marry Miss Vickie on the Johnny Carson show later that year,He took a ballad I had written,which I felt would be a Sinatra type ballad THE MISSING THINGS,He liked it as it had a few lines that,coming from him were surreal.WITH YOU TIGHT BY MY SIDE I'M SUPERMAN.FEEL LIKE I'M WALKINN ON AIR LIKE PETER PAN.etc Not only did he sing it on Carson the week before the wedding,Dec 12th 1969,but he actually rang me in UK ttwice to thank me on that same night. I found him perfectly normal.He spoke normally,had a four octave voice,played uke tight handed quite well,but on stage played left handed.All his weirdness was his gimmick,after having struggled for years to harness his amazing knowledge of early 20s music in order to make a living.He was much more talented musically than non musicians might think,but hid behind his money making formula.Sad !If anyone saw him sing my song or recorded it do let me know.

There'll never be another Tiny Tim.

Wonderful Tiny Tim - glad I found this gem. As mentioned I wonder if any of those kids remember this school show & be fortunate to have Tiny as guest (most likely very few) & performer. But let’s face it they were very young & unless previously told about Tiny Tim as a musician/entertainer you can’t blame them. Anyhow the kids/teachers seemed to enjoy it, a great Elvis performance of Heartbreak Hotel(was that a first?) and Tiny being humble as always. Yes the filming probably a student? Not professional but better than not having this lost show at all. Thank you.

Wow what a humble generous sincerely nice person i love him even more now 💜

What a heart he had!! Wish I could of met him

This is so cute, thanks for sharing this :)

Herb was brilliant. Very few people had his encyclopedic knowledge of the music of the early 20th century.

Tiny was a true star. God bless him

Passing of an era, when clean was fun. He was a genius in his own right. Sorry that some people took advantage of his talent and earnings, but he wasn't bitter. He worked till the end of his life.

This is so neat!!! Thank you so much for posting this! I wish Tiny Tim would’ve come to perform at my elementary school!! Hehe.

Al final de su carrera recibió el cariño y el respeto que realmente merecía este hombre!!! Tenía un estilo inigualable

Que ser humano tan más cálido , noble, con esa sencillez noble sincera , tan ARTISTA tan genuino , tan dulce , educado y dando lo mejor y más de él . 🙏♥️💜✝️ un hombre verdaderamente HERMOSO ✝️💜👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 solo me da inmensa tristeza lo que le hicieron y el respeto que no le mostraron , él se merecía muchísimo más , se merecía TODO el reconocimiento y fama que le negaron con sus burlas . 😔

Its presence is more than splendid... Attractive, that persuasive look ... nothing more to say.

His most prized possession is his ukelele

I have always loved Tiny Tim I still have his very first album

Tiny was a great guy, I miss him. I still get a kick out of the Golf cart incident at the Philadelphia airport.

It's too bad the cameraman was so shaky. Tiny gave it his all, though! He was a true gent and a good sport.

Tiny was the best! Thanks for posting!!

hey all you kids who have responded to my tt video. yes, tiny WAS a gracious, kind, Christian man. I am priviledged to have worked with him. n leigh switzer

He was a kind hearted soul. Thank you so much for sharing.

That was awesome! Thanks for sharing this video.

I adore this beautiful man..He was unique in many ways..

Such a nice man. I've only came to know about him this week. At first he scared me because of his eccentricity. But........ This guy....... He was a living saint, despite his flaws.

Why he is unique especially his bags I like it soo much🥰❤❤❤❤❤❤

Excellent !!!♥️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

He was a sweet man with a big heart.

Esos niños no sabian la leyenda que tenia que a pocos años del video falleceria... pero que lindo ver el video y que le hicieran tan linda actividad

A truly poignant performance, especially the snippet at the end. Absolutely wonderful.
