While I would never make a case for Tiny Tim in the Hall, I highly recommend God Bless Tiny Tim for those with esoteric/psychotronic tastes in music. His cover of the Sonny & Cher standard I Got You Babe is a marvel, as he sings both parts in baritone and falsetto respectively.

Tim was truly a one-of-a-kind performer that came along at a time when popular music went to the dogs (IMHO) and revived many Tin Pan Alley standards from the early 20th century. He also carried the flag for many great pop crooners and acoustic recording era singers like Billy Murray, Bing Crosby, Rudy Vallee, Cliff Edwards, Al Jolson, Henry Burr, and Whispering Jack Smith. I've loved Tim's music ever since my first listen to Tip Toe Through the Tulips with Me.

My mistake it was Tiny Tim that played the ukulele not BOY George but both of these two should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame before Carrie Underwood!

I think Tiny Tim should be in. His music, though quirky, had an impact that is unappreciated today. His TV wedding was one of the highest rated shows of it's time. You couldn't really pin him down to a single genre, as he was constantly experimenting with new things. His collection of recordings, over 15,000 records (all in pristine condition), was one to be envied. He was always acquiring more music for his collection, whenever he traveled anywhere. The size of his collection is even more impressive when you consider that this was the days before the internet, and ebay, where you had to do a lot of legwork, and networking with like minded individuals by telephone, snail mail, and in person to find what you were looking for. You couldn't just click a button, and a few days later it arrived at your door. His devotion to music was unmatched. He even died doing what he loved, making music for his fans, ignoring warning signs that his health was at risk, so his fans wouldn't be disappointed that he was a no show. Let him in.
