On this day in 1996, singer Tiny Tim dies of congestive heart failure. Born Herbert Khaury in New York in 1925, Tiny Tim became known for his humorous falsetto singing and ukulele strumming, most famously demonstrated in his trademark song “Tiptoe Through the Tulips.” He performed in Greenwich Village in the 1960s and several of his songs were used in You Are What You Eat, a 1968 documentary about the 1960s. He rose to fame on the comedy show Laugh In. His popularity faded in the 1970s but enjoyed a brief revival in the 1990s just prior to his death.
