Whose only U.K. hit single, in 1969, was a cover of a Jerry Lee Lewis
U.K. No. 1 in 1957?  The Jerry Lee Lewis UK No. 1 hit of 1957 was
"Great Balls of Fire" however I have been unable to ascertain the
cover in 1969.  Thanking you

Goodness gracious, this wild and woolly song was covered by none other
than the mild and woolly Tiny Tim, the ukulele-strumming,
falsetto-voiced novelty singer who became famous singing "Tiptoe
Through the Tulips" on "Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In." Tiny Tim's version
of "Great Balls of Fire" must be heard to be believed. ;-)

Here are a few references to verify that Tiny Tim was the man with the
Great Balls of Fire:

"After the first album was done, he was off on a whirlwind tour of
concerts and TV appearances. He and Perry were both flown to London to
play the Albert Hall. A full orchestra was provided, and Perry
directed. It was a swanky benefit and the audience was full of wealthy
people in tuxedos and formal evening gowns. Right before they went on,
they found out that the audience included the Beatles, Mick Jagger and
Marianne Faithful, and some members of the Royal family. He sang in
both his natural and falsetto voice. He did a wide range of numbers
from different decades, and not just novelty songs. Things went
exceptionally well, and everyone was amazed that Tiny could really
sing. The recording of this event deserves to be released someday on
CD. It was a great success, and Tiny's recording of 'Great Balls of
Fire' hit the charts in England."
