As a child, Slim Whitman (born Ottis Dewey Whitman J. became infatuated with music and learned to yodel listening to Montana Slim and Jimmie Rodgers records. At age 17, he married 15-year-old Geraldine Crist, a preacher's daughter. The newlyweds moved to a 40-acre farm south of Jacksonville, Florida, where Whitman worked as a meat packer. While working in the plant, he suffered an accident and lost two fingers on his left hand. After the accident, he began working in a Tampa shipyard. Slim Whitman got his first big break after Colonel Tom Parker - who was managing Eddy Arnold at the time - heard him singing on radio station WFLA. Parker landed a contract with RCA for Whitman by the end of 1948. After reluctantly complying with the label's request to change his first name to "Slim," he released his first single, "I'm Casting My Lasso Towards the Sky" - eventually to become his theme song.

In the 1996 movie comedy Mars Attacks!. Slim Whitman’s yodeling, high-octave rendition of Indian Love Call causes the heads of the invading Martians to explode, saving Planet Earth. Whitman, the country crooner with the weather-beaten face, velvet voice and sentimental lyrics, was often the object of humor, almost always good-natured. In the early 1980s a disc jockey offered Slim Whitman makeup kits complete with receding hairline, furry black eyebrows and a cream to make your upper lip quiver.
