Musicians

I love Sonny and Cher.

But i was privileged to see Tiny Tim's show every day for a week when I was playing at a lakefront festival. I tried to get down to his stage if I had a break during his slot. This was late in his career, but still every tune was epic. By the time I saw him, he had refined I Got You Babe into a show-stopping set closer ... he built up the duet until the two parts were alternating rapid fire. He used this as a set closer several times during the week, and ALWAYS brought the crowd to its feet.

I'm glad there is a video of it, even though it's pretty tame. Here's a short version from the Ed Sullivan show. Try to imagine a 5-10 minute tour-de-force.

RIP Sonny Bono, and RIP Tiny Tim ... both great, and Cher is still great.

Tiny Tim ... I Got You Babe, duet with himself.
