God Bless Tiny Tim is the debut studio album by American musician Tiny Tim,[1] released in 1968 by Reprise. It contains a variety of contemporary and traditional pop standards, including his signature hit song "Tiptoe Through The Tulips", which was a Billboard Hot 100 top 20 hit single.[2] God Bless Tiny Tim reached No. 7 on the US Billboard Top LPs chart during a 32-week run.[3]
The songs were written by a variety of composers, most from the early 20th century, and most rather obscure;[<span title="Script error: No such module "decodeEncode".">clarification needed] however, "I Got You Babe" was by Sonny Bono, and "Stay Down Here Where You Belong" was by Irving Berlin.
God Bless Tiny Tim was not available on compact disc until 1998, when in it was issued in Japan only; in 2013, the album was reissued on CD worldwide with eleven bonus tracks including alternate and instrumental versions of the album's songs as well as non-album singles.[4]
Background
The album was produced by Richard Perry, who had produced Captain Beefheart's first album Safe as Milk and later produced albums by Barbra Streisand, Harry Nilsson, Rod Stewart, Carly Simon and Ringo Starr. The arrangements are by Artie Butler.[5]
For some of the album, Tiny Tim sings in his unusual falsetto style. However, on a number of songs ("Stay Down Here Where You Belong", "The Coming Home Party" and others) he sings in a rich baritone, demonstrating his voice's range. In "On the Old Front Porch", "Daddy, Daddy, What Is Heaven Like?" and on "I Got You Babe", he sings both baritone and falsetto, alternating between the two. A joke in "I Got You Babe" is revealed in the last words where both baritone and falsetto voices unexpectedly sing at once, revealing the apparently agile duet is actually himself singing double-tracked.
