Is it true that Tiny Tim recorded "They're Coming To Take Me Away"?

Maybe under the name Napolean XIV?

Mike T.

Tiny did record a version of "They're Coming To Take Me Away" but it has never been released and nothing is known about the recording session. The hit version by Napoleon XIV in the 60's was by a singer named Jerry Samuels. He still performs the song in clubs to this day. Thanks for your question.

Thanks to Tiny Tim Historian Ernie Clark for the answer.

UPDATE: I recently found out that Jerry Samuels a.k.a. Napoleon XIV has Tiny's version of "They're Coming To Take Me Away" in his possession.
