I first heard about Nick Lucas today, he was a pioneer on the guitar and is woefully under appreciated. He has a massive discography and his version of "Tiptoe though the Tulips" recorded in 1929 was a million seller. nicklucas.com/biography.html

Actually, he did look at the fretboard...more than once. Not that that diminished anything at all.

It's the type of great guitar playing that only people who have tried to truly play the guitar would understand. The non-musicians think that someone noodling a mindless shred solo on an electric is good guitar playing. Nick Lucas was fantastic

It originated from a 1929 movie, The Gold Diggers of Broadway, which is lost. The entire audio still exists, but only a few footages have been found. One of those footages is the original version of Tip-Toe Thru' The Tulips With Me, sung by Nick Lucas and chorus. The footage exists on RU-vid. There's also a footage which i believe is the ending of the movie. The ending scene is a big musical number which includes many of the songs from the movie; Song Of The Gold Diggers (the production number), Painting The Clouds With Sunshine (the other big hit of the movie, which isn't as popular as the other one), Mechanical Man (a comedy song long forgotten), and this song. Tiny Tim's other popular song, Livin' In The Sunlight, originated in a movie from 1930.

One of the best guitarist with classical & swing jazz solo guitar

u live under rocks son ?

The original version of this song has 845K views on RU-vid, another copy has 161K views. That version came from The Gold Diggers of Broadway, a lost movie made in 1929.

KIM I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU

Agreed. Now after watching this I realised that he looked the same in 60's too😅

That to lip though lol

jason bailey No slight on Mr. Lucas but if it wasn't for Tiny Tim I doubt people would have known who he was in the late 60's and beyond. Yes Tiny Tim turned "Tiptoe thru the tulips" into a joke but at the same time he also turned it into one of the most well known songs ever. Not bad for a guy who was taking a piss at the song. ;)

Tiny Tim never made it a joke, it's still brilliant.

Ya..I guess I was pretty hard on tiny...point taken...I could have worded my comment better but I was just really impressed with Nick....such a seamless guitar player...any thanks for your input

Tiny Tim's version is better

They’re both iconic. However Nick Lucas introduced and popularized this song in 1929. Without him, it is debatable whether this song would have been as big a hit, although it is certainly a good song.

Wasn't Patton holding a Stromberg-Voisinet and also plaued a Stella?

Well his version is the first version! Lucas recorded Tiptoe in 1929.

I know, I listened to his recording alot!

there's like no tabs or sheet for nick lucas songs like all the old sheet i find is for ukulele and virtually no tab, there's a snippet of tiptoe tab out by Dennis chang but thats pretty much it

Theres also nick Lucas method books but I've only find one pdf online but there's some listings on eBay

Bob Dylan played one too.

+Michael Mcgee Nick Lucas was born in 1897 so he was 72 when he appeared on The Tonight Show.

Good that you used maths.
