No, I think it was "has had more number 1 hits than Elvis and The Beatles" combined--same goes for Boxcar Willie. I believe the same may also have been said for Roger Whittaker.

Slim had talent, in spite of becoming a source of comedy material due to his TV commercials and odd musical/stylistic choices. A nice moment for Slim on was on "The Midnight Special," with an unctuously admiring Andy Kaufman.

I wonder if that was before or after this:
RIP Slim.
RIP Slim.

Didn't his TV ads claim he had "sold more records than Elvis or the Beatles"? Or was that Boxcar Willie?

I never heard of him before his late night cable TV commercials. Never heard of him after that. I had no idea he actually lived. He is never included in country music anthology CDs. And yet he sold 1.5 million of those TV greatest hits albums. Amazing.
