Herbert Butros Khaury[1][2] (April 12, 1932 – November 30, 1996), also known as Herbert Buckingham Khaury,[3] and known professionally as Tiny Tim, was an American musician and musical archivist.[4] He is especially known for his 1968 hit recording of "Tiptoe Through the Tulips", a cover of the popular song "Tiptoe Through the Tulips with Me" from the 1929 musical Gold Diggers of Broadway. Tiny Tim was renowned for his wide vocal range, in particular his far-reaching falsetto.[5]
