Another OBIT, with three Video clips (2 Whitman and one Johnny Carson) at:

Singer, yodeler Slim Whitman dies at 90

I had forgotten about:

"He was even more successful with his next song, "Indian Love Call," which highlighted Whitman's soaring falsetto and his impressive yodeling talents. In the 1996 comedy "Mars Attacks!", that song was used to make the Martian attackers' heads explode, saving Earth."

Carson's jokes were well known, and Slim was guy who knew how to take a joke!
