Slim Whitman sings many of my favourite love songs. I love the way he has a yodel in his voice, and I also love that very high steel guitar sound.
This song has a special meaning to me, and I love the beautiful video.
3. Blue bayou
I have often thought of this song, and longed to be by the sea. It is so tough to be “working till the sun don’t shine.” Slim Whitman sings all these songs so well.
4. Remember me, I’m the one who loves you
When I was a teenager, I loved this song so much, and longed to be in America.
6. Something beautiful to remember
Another favourite love song that brings back so many memories.
I heard this one on the radio by Eddie Fisher.
11. Anytime
I love the yodel in Slim Whitman’s voice.
I used to love singing this favourite love song.
13. Blue eyes crying in the rain – One of my favourite love songs by Slim Whitman
One night we were driving in the rain on the Queen Elizabeth Way, between Burlington and Toronto (Canada), when I heard Slim Whitman on the radio singing, “In the twilight glow I see her, blue eyes crying in the rain.” I know Willie Nelson also sang that song, but I loved the Slim’s version. There is hope for the future in the song, “When we meet again up yonder, we’ll stroll hand in hand again.” I always associate that song with the Berlin wall, where families were separated.
14. Careless hands
17. Paper roses
This was a hit when I was dating my first girl friend.
19. Rocking alone in an old rocking chair
Tears at my heart.
20. Weary and blue
I love all the old photos.
Takes me back to my teenage years.
I heard this song on a TV movie. An old western with Kirk Douglas. It had a haunting feel to it. Then he sings words I heard on the radio before that sounded so nice: “Roses love sunshine, violets love dew, angels in heaven know I love you.”
24. Galway bay
I lay in bed last night with this song on my heart.
25. Faded love
It is so sad too see love fade. Some people who used to love me, don’t want to know me anymore.
26. Think I’ll go somewhere and cry myself to sleep
I heard my mother sing this favourite love song when I was a little boy.
28. Hi Lili hi lo
I played in a band that used to do this song.
Every song that Slim Whitman sings is beautiful.
37. It keeps right on a hurting
38. Top of the world
He is singing with Virginia Lee. She was very popular in Africa. She did a lot of country type records. Heart wrenching stuff.
43. Danny Boy
A few years ago I heard the second verse of this song for the first time. I think it was Elvis singing it. It really wrenched my heart, because I love my son so much.
44. Sunrise
One day as I was watching the sunrise, I thought of this song as I praised the Lord for another day.
45. Who at my door is standing
46. He
He does this gospel song so nicely.
48. What’s this world coming to
49. Today is mine
50. I’ll never pass this way again
51. Under his wings
53. It is no secret
54. I’ll fly away
55. God be with you
13. Whispering hope
14. A satisfied mind
15. Each step I take
57. Suppertime – Slim and Byron
58. I’m a pilgrim
59. Walk with God
61. What kind of God do you think that you are
63. Die son skyn weer more (Sunrise)
64. Fluist’rende hoop (Whispering hope)
