Parker landed a contract with RCA for Whitman by the end of 1948. After reluctantly complying with the label's request to change his first name to "Slim," he released his first single, "I'm Casting My Lasso Towards the Sky" -- eventually to become his theme song. He made his national debut on the Mutual Network's Smokey Mountain Hayride in the summer of 1949, and the following year joined the Louisiana Hayride. Despite his national exposure, Whitman's career wasn't making much of an impact and he was forced to take a job as a part-time mailman.In the early '50s, he released a cover of Bob Nolan's "Love Song of the Waterfall," which became his breakthrough hit, peaking at number ten on the country charts; the follow-up single, "Indian Love Call," made him a star, peaking at number two on the country charts and crossing over into the pop Top Ten. Both sides of his next single -- "Keep It a Secret" / "My Heart Is Broken in Three" -- were also major hits and he continued to have a string of Top Ten hits into the mid-'50s. In 1955, his title song for the film Rose-Marie became a smash on both sides of the Atlantic; following its success, Whitman joined the Grand Ole Opry, and then went to Britain in 1956 as the first country singer to play the London Palladium. Throughout the late '50s and early '60s, he had a string of British hits, including "Tumbling Tumbleweeds," "I'm A Fool","Serenade" and "I'll Take You Home Again Kathleen."INDIAN LOVE CALLENTERED UK CHARTS - 29/07/1955 reached #7 - 12 weeks on chartOo-Oo-Oo-Oo, Oo-Oo-Oo-OoWhen I'm calling youOo-Oo-Oo-Oo, Oo-Oo-Oo-OoWill you answer too?Oo-Oo-Oo-Oo, Oo-Oo-Oo-OoThat means I offer my love to you to be your ownIf you refuse me I will be blue, waiting all aloneBut if when you hear my love call ringing clearOo-Oo-Oo-Oo, Oo-Oo-Oo-OoAnd I hear your answering echo so dearOo-Oo-Oo-Oo, Oo-Oo-Oo-OoThen I will know our love will come trueYou'll belong to me, I'll belong to youThen I will know our love will come trueYou'll belong to me, I'll belong to youB SIDE:- CHINA DOLLSEPERATELY ENTERED UK CHARTS - 23/09/1955 reached #15 - 2 weeks on chartI'm tired of cry-y-yin'And all her lie-ie-iein'That's why I'm buy-y-in'A china dollHer eyes are blu-u-uerHer faults are few-ewerHer lips are tru-uerMy china dollI'd rather have a doll of clayThat I could call my ownThan someone else just like youWith a heart of stoneShe'll never lea-eave meShe'll not decei-eive meAnd never grie-ieve meMy china dollNo tears or sor-orrowNo sad tomorr-orr-orrowNo one can borr-orr-owMy china dollHer eyes are blu-u-uerHer faults are few-ewerHer lips are tru-uerMy china dollI'd rather have a doll of clayThat I could call my ownThan someone else just like youWith a heart of stoneShe'll never lea-eave meShe'll not decei-eive meAnd never grie-ieve meMy china doll CONDITION IS RATED AS E-/V+some scuffs but plays GREAT SILVER LONDON HL or L 1149 10" 78rpm SHELLAC HERE'S YOUR CHANCE TO PICK UP THIS GREAT DOUBLE UK CHART HIT BUY IT NOW!In the early '50s, he released a cover of Bob Nolan's "Love Song of the Waterfall," which became his breakthrough hit, peaking at number ten on the country charts; the follow-up single, "Indian Love Call," made him a star, peaking at number two on the country charts and crossing over into the pop Top Ten.
