The two people who were probably most influential in Slim's career were Jimmie Rogers and Wilf Carter (Montana Slim). In 1945 Slim started coming to Maine-summers; and in 1952 he became a resident of Maine. One of Slim's first bands featured a young kid by the name of Dick Curless, the Tumbleweed Kid - and a member of the Trailriders.
During his very active career, Slim has recorded over fifty 78's, forty 45's and over twenty-five albums. All of his old 78's are in the Library at the Hall of Fame in Nashville, and have become collector's items. Slim has appeared coast-to-coast on both the NBC network and the ABC network on different jamborees. He was featured on Folk Music USA.
During his younger days, Slim played pro-baseball as a pitcher for the Blackstone Valley League in Massachusetts. He is an avid sports fan, following baseball, football, basketball and golf. For over 17 years Slim was a Registered Guide in Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont. Although he no longer maintains his license, he maintains his interest in hunting and fishing. Slim has become very well known for his lifelike paintings of the out-of-doors—and one of his most beautiful paintings is that of the Lombard Log hauler.
Slim was the proud father of two children—a son, Wilf, and a daughter, Jewell. One of the proudest moments in Slim's life was when he was inducted into the Yodeler's Hall of Fame, along with Jimmie Rogers, Elton Britt, and Wilf Carter.
Yodeling Slim Clark died on July 5, 2000, in St. Albans, Maine.
Raymond S. "Yodelin' Slim Clark" was born in Springfield, Massachusetts on December 11, 1917, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Clark. Slim completed two years of high school, at which time he became a professional musician at the age of 15.
