Herbert B. Khaury, a.k.a. Tiny Tim: "Yes. Right now, in the afternoon, this needs a lot of warm-up, but just see if I can even do a poor version of (singing) Oh, tiptoe through the tulips with me."

Interviewer: "And how did you discover your falsetto voice?"

Khaury: "Well, I thank Jesus Christ for every gift, because I really prayed about it one day, and about 1952, I needed something, something, to differentiate myself from better singers at the time, especially from Tony Bennett, Perry Como, Guy Mitchell. And so every entertainer, every artist, every comedian, every broadcaster, uh, should have a sound, an originality in the voice that the mass can identify with singlely. And so originality, originality is the key to success. You can close your eyes and know it's Louie Armstrong, know it's Bing Crosby, and, same thing, you know it's Tiny Tim when I do (in falsetto) Tiptoe, or whatever. So that's what I looked for, that's what I got, and from '54 on, it proved to be successful." (interviewed just a couple of months before his death in 1996)
