Yet another 25 cent 78 from @harvestrecordsavl Basement Sale. Redd Stewart is probably most famous for his work with Pee Wee King; he's the vocalist heard on King's classics "Tennessee Waltz", "Slow Poke", and "Bonaparte's Retreat". Here, Redd is going solo with a recording that has a very strong Bob Wills feel to it. #reddstewart #peeweeking #countrymusic #radio #classic #oldies #UltimateTwang #vinyl #countrymusicsinger #music #realcountrymusic #song #vinyljunkie #45rpm #countryoldies #instagood #lovethis #recordcollector #bestsong #oldcountrymusic #goodmusic #recordcollecting #countrymusichalloffame #singer #classiccountry #78rpm #vinylcollection #records (at Asheville, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/B183KcyJ-8z/?igshid=ms328h7lfsp4

Today in 2000, we lost the great Pee Wee King at age 86. Born Julius Frank Kuczynski in Abrams, Wisconsin. Pee Wee co-wrote the classic "The Tennessee Waltz". He is listed as a co-writer to two other classics, "You Belong To Me" and "Slow Poke". However, they were actually written by Chilton Price, but she gave both King and Redd Stewart co-writing credits on each song because she thought they would get more exposure with their names listed. His recording of "Slow Poke", featuring Redd Stewart on vocals, sold well over a million copies and spent 15 weeks at #1 on Billboard's country charts in late 1951/early 1952, while topping their pop charts for 3 weeks. In Cashbox, the numbers were the same. "Slow Poke" was easily his biggest hit single, while "The Tennessee Waltz" would be his biggest songwriting hit, topping the pop charts and selling well over a million copies for Patti Page. #peeweeking #tennesseewaltz #slowpoke #countrymusic #radio #classic #oldies #UltimateTwang #vinyl #countrymusicsinger #music #realcountrymusic #song #vinyljunkie #45rpm #countryoldies #instagood #lovethis #recordcollector #bestsong #oldcountrymusic #goodmusic #recordcollecting #countrymusichalloffame #singer #classiccountry #78rpm #vinylcollection #records (at Asheville, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuuUDobnKDW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=zbp8kl6a6h19
