	Pee Wee King, musician, 86 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		King, 86, who was born Frank Kuczynski in Milwaukee, suffered a serious heart attack late last month and died with his wife and family at his bedside, a spokeswoman for Jewish Hospital said.
		King began his career playing accordion with local polka bands in Milwaukee and then moved into country music, in part because he and cowboy actor and singer Gene Autry got to know each other when both performed on the same Chicago radio station.
		King's group also became the first full-time band for the Grand Ole Opry in 1937 at a time when Opry performers were part-time and often held other jobs to make ends meet.

	March 8, 2000 - Pee Wee King Dies Feature
		It was Autry who dubbed his new bandleader "Pee Wee," in deference to the fact that, at 5 feet six inches, he was the smallest member of the band and also to distinguish him from other "Franks" in the band.
		Though Pee Wee would later be invited to appear in a number of Autry pictures, he decided to stay in radio for the time being.
		Pee Wee was very much enthralled with some of the new swing bands on the air -- especially Bob Wills, Louise Massey and the Westerners and Clayton McMichen's Georgia Wildcats -- and he began to incorporate their new sounds into his music.

	Wade Hall, Hell-Bent For Music: the Life of Pee Wee King (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Pee Wee King was born to a working-class Polish family in Milwaukee in 1914, and he grew to become a superstar in the world of country and western music.
		King himself, the story is told in the first person, with Hall simply filling in the narrative and maintaining the chronological structure.
		Pee Wee is a charming raconteur, humbled by his success, but well aware of the level of his achievement.

		King was elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame '74.

	E! Online News - Country's Pee Wee King Dies (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Pee Wee King, the diminutive country music hall of famer who scored a giant hit with his "Tennessee Waltz" and revolutionized the Grande Ole Opry, died today of complications from a heart attack.
		King joined Nashville's Grand Ole Opry in 1937, bringing such novelties as electric instruments (the Opry's first electric steel guitar), horns and his trademark accordion to the venue.
		King also scored hits with recordings of "Slow Poke" (his biggest seller), "Silver and Gold" and "You Belong to Me." He and his band also had cameos in several Westerns, including a couple Gene Autry films.

	Splendid E-zine reviews: Pee Wee King
		Pee Wee King (alias Frankie King, alias Frank Kuczynski) started off as a pretty straightforward Polish-American bandleader, but a stint backing Gene Autry awakened him to the possibilities (and the magic) of country-western or "hillbilly" music.
		King's take on the music was pristine cowboy crooning -- innocent western swing-derived tunes with a healthy dose of twang and a refreshing Hollywood-musical friendliness.
		Whether due to preference or style, King never really embraced the drinkin', lechin' and lyin' themes that were seeping into "mainstream" country-western music circa 1950 -- this isn't "cry in your beer" music, it's "chuckle-in-your-punch" music.

	Roy Ayres, Former Steel Guitarist With Pee Wee King (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Shortly after joining Pee Wee, Roy played steel guitar on the original recording of "The Tennessee Waltz" which soon became the third biggest record seller of all time.
		As a result of the band's unique style of western swing and the success of a number of their recordings, the Golden West Cowboys were honored by Cash Box magazine's award for "Nation's Number One Western Band" two years in succession.
		Pee Wee moved the band to Louisville, Kentucky about two years after Roy joined the band, where they did a weekly television show and a daily radio show on WAVE.

	Pee Wee King Page in Fuller Up, The Dead Musician Directory
		King passed away peacefully in his sleep from complications of a stroke and heart attack.
		King's only number one, "Slow Poke," was a giant hit in 1951 -- it spent 15 weeks at number one and crossed over to number one pop as well (for three weeks).
		A past director of the Country Music Foundation, Pee Wee King was inducted into both the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame and, in 1974, the Country Music Hall of Fame.

		King first used an amplified electric guitar on-stage at the Opry in 1940, and introduced drums to the Opry stage in 1947.
		King left the Grand Ole Opry to return to Louisville and host his own TV show, which ran for the next ten years and was picked up nationally by ABC in the final two seasons.
		King's run of commercial success tailed off after 1954; his TV show went off the air in 1957, and he continued to record for RCA until 1959.

		Pee Wee King was an unlikely candidate for country music stardom.
		He changed his name to King (after the then popular polka performer Wayne King) and formed his own high school band, Frankie King and the King’s Jesters.
		King became also a pioneer television performer when in 1947 he returned to Louisville to work on WAVE radio and television.

	Amazon.com: Pee Wee King & Golden West Cowboys [BOX SET]: Music (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Pee Wee King was a Polish-American kid in Wisconsin who picked up the accordion and more or less lucked into the field of country music.
		This box set compiles all of Pee Wee's recorded work, aside from some radio transcriptions issued as a double CD by Bloodshot.
		Pee Wee's sound was a little Western swing, a bit of straight country and a smidge of cowboy, with many accordion-led songs that add a jaunty and interesting touch to the music.

	Country Music Mourns Pee Wee King
		The passing this week of Pee Wee King has taken from the scene one of Country music's major songwriters and a longtime member of BMI.
		Inspired by Bill Monroe's "Kentucky Waltz," the song was recorded by King and Stewart for RCA, but then took off into a whole other level of success with the release of Patti Page's cover version in 1951.
		King recorded for many labels, most notably RCA, which released more than 20 albums and 157 singles during his 17-year presence on the roster.
