Country music star Slim Whitman has died at age 90 of heart failure at Orange Park medical centre in Florida.
The singer, whose tenor falsetto and ebony moustache and sideburns became global trademarks, recorded more than 65 albums and sold millions of records. His 1955 version of Rose Marie, the title song from the venerable operetta that spawned Indian Love Call, was No 1 for 11 weeks in Britain, where he was particularly popular.
The singer once encouraged a teen Elvis Presley when Whitman was the headliner on the bill and the rock legend was making his professional debut.
Born in Tampa, Florida, Whitman started his career in the late 1940s, but later had a career revival in the 1980s as a cult icon. "All of a sudden, here comes a guy in a black and white suit, with a moustache and a receding hairline, playing a guitar and singing Rose Marie," Whitman told AP in 1991. ... |

12 O'Clock Boys: the documentary for those suffering The Wire withdrawal
|
18.6.2013 |
The Guardian -- World Latest |
| Lotfy Nathan's account of young bikers on the rough streets familiar from The Wire illuminates Baltimore's social divisions
For those suffering withdrawal symptoms from The Wire since David Simon 's Baltimore drama ended in 2008, help is at hand in the form of a new documentary film set in the same troubled city.
12 O'Clock Boys tells the story of Pug, a 13-year-old boy growing up in a rough part of town, desperate to join the pack of fearless motorbike riders who cruise intimidatingly through the streets, dozens-deep, performing terrifying stunts and sparring with the police.
Their name comes from their trademark trick: a wheelie so steep the bike almost stands up on end: "If you get to 12 o'clock you're the shit," Pug says. "That's when you can really shine."
