Synopsis
Herbert Butros Khaury (1932–1996), known professionally as Tiny Tim, was an American singer, ukulele player, and musical archivist. He sang in a falsetto voice. His career reached its heights in the late 1960s with his emblem song Tiptoe Through the Tulips. Some see him as a freak, some see him as a genius, but he leaves nobody indifferent. He is considered the first androgynous artist, and he has influenced numerous important musicians – from Marilyn Manson and Alice Cooper to The Tiger Lillies and Lady Gaga.
