Country Legend Slim Whitman Dead at Age 90 Empty Country Legend Slim Whitman Dead at Age 90

Country singer Slim Whitman, the high-pitched yodeler who sold millions of records through ever-present TV ads in the 1980s and 1990s and whose song saved the world in the film comedy "Mars Attacks!," died Wednesday at a Florida hospital. He was 90.
Whitman died of heart failure at Orange Park Medical Center, his son-in-law Roy Beagle said.
Whitman's tenor falsetto and ebony mustache and sideburns became global trademarks -- and an inspiration for countless jokes -- thanks to the TV commercials that pitched his records.

Been a rash of celebrity deaths lately -- James Gandolfini died of an apparent heart attack just recently, he was only 51.

At least Slim lived to a decent age but especially sad for  James Gandolfini, because that is no age!
