Sydney writer Lowell Tarling and Sydney artist Martin Sharp have both extensively documented Tiny Tim both through taped interview, film and video. Since Tiny Tims death they have been in close contact with TT's former wife Miss Vicky who has inherited all copyright of his work. Both Lowell and Martin state that Tiny Tim was a significant artist in his own right but also, that he was an important performer of many songs that perhaps America may well have forgotten over time. His repetoire was formidable as can be seen from his recordings, and his performance unique/individual, a quality we so often look for in an artist and so rarely get. TT was a great respecter of the material he performed as he respected the history and tradition of American performance. Was he a GREAT artist? No. Was he a significant contributer to an ongoing history of American performance, particularly song. Yes. Was he a whacko rugged American individualist? Yep, think so.
