Trivia

Dapper, mustachioed country singer whose career has spanned almost six decades. Known for his phenomenal high notes and yodeling ability.

He was awarded a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for Recording at 1709 Vine Street in Hollywood, California.

Outside of country fandom, Whitman is, arguably, best known for Tim Burton s use of a song of his in the 1996 sci-fi parody, Mars Attacks! . Whitmans voice is discovered to be the secret weapon against the little green men.

Recorded "Mockin Bird Hill (Auf der Alm in Tirol".
