Henry Hite
Henry Hite (May 1, 1915 – May 26, 1978) born Henry Marion Mullens, was a giant who was well known in his day for making personal appearances promoting the Corn King brand (Wilson Certified Meats trade-name) as the "Corn King Giant", and for the occasional movie that would capitalize on his height. Although promoted as "the world's tallest man" at 8 ft 2 in, his actual height was 7 ft 6¾ in (2.31 m).
At age 18, he changed his name to 'Hite' and partnered with 'Lowe' (Roland Picaro), to form a Vaudeville act, later as "Lowe, Hite and Stanley" which included the midget Stanley Ross. Hite's stage career ended in 1962 following the death of Ross.

by: Henry AteLately I've been thinking what if I was wrong
And the world never meant you and I to belong
We'd have wasted so much time building castles in the sky
Only to watch them all fall down
Would it be all of our dreams so well suited to you and I
Could only be half acquired would it be worthwhile?
If I could just understand this
I might then try forgiveness
Know that I will, each time I feel
You'll be by, you'll be by, you'll be by my side
In the end, we'll still be friends
Ain't it shocking how your sympathetic world amends
And in time, you'll realise
I'm not what I seem inside
I go wild, I go wild, I go wild
For lately I've been thinking what if you were wrong
And all the things you've taken were never meant to be gone
You'd have given a gift from above so freely having given no thoughts to love
And would it be all of your dreams so better suited to someone like me
I would watch you achieve wouldn't that make me so damn unhappy
On the level thinking back - I'
No if I could just understand this
I might then try forgiveness
Know that I will, each time I feel
You'll be by, you'll be by, you'll be by my side
In the end, we'll still be friends
Ain't it shocking how your sympathetic world amends
And in time, you'll realise
I'm not what I seem inside
I go wild, I go wild, I go wild
