Chef
d'orchestre US né
Julius Frank Anthony Kuczynski, le 18 Février 1914 à Abrams (Wisconsin). Pee Wee King apprend tout jeune l'harmonica, le fiddle et l'accordéon. A 14 ans, il se produit dans les radios locales et en 1934, il rencontre
Gene Autry qui l'embauche comme accordéoniste et fiddle. Autry, appelé à Hollywood, Pee Wee monte son propre orchestre: les "Golden West Cowboys", groupe légendaire dont feront parti des chanteurs comme
Eddie Arnold, Cowboy Copas et
Ernest Tubb!!! Pee Wee King fut élu au Country Music Hall Of Fame en 1974.
Pee Wee eut un show à la télé (WBBM-TV, Chicago, Illinois). Il est décédé
le 7 Mars 2000 à Louisville (Kentucky).
A
flamboyant and influential figure during his heyday, Pee Wee King remains
somewhat underappreciated as a performer, though his fame as a songwriter is
assured thanks to the smash hit "Tennessee Waltz." King helped modernize the
sound and style of country music; he introduced electric instruments, drums, and
horns to the notoriously conservative Grand Ole Opry, and dressed his band in
sharply tailored, Western-style Nudie suits that looked anything but backwoods.
Despite his affinity for Western swing and cowboy songs, King actually came from
Polish extraction, which helped account for his eclectic approach to country
music. He was born Julius Frank Anthony Kuczynski on February 18, 1914, in
Milwaukee, and grew up in the northern Wisconsin town of Abrams (or possibly
vice versa, according to some sources). His father headed a polka band, and
young Frank (as he was called) eventually joined up, learning both fiddle and
accordion but concentrating on the latter instrument. He made his professional
radio debut at age 14, and eventually started leading his own band, adopting the
name Frank King (in tribute to polka bandleader Wayne King) and playing a
mixture of polkas and cowboy songs. Starting in 1933, his band played regularly
on the Milwaukee radio show The Badger State Barn Dance, where they were
discovered by an up-and-coming
Gene Autry.
Autry hired them as his backup band, and nicknamed King "Pee Wee" for his
five-foot six-inch height. In 1934,
Autry and King became regulars on Louisville radio, but
Autry soon departed for Hollywood.
King elected to stay behind in Louisville, and played with the Log Cabin Boys in
1935; the following year, he formed his own band, the Golden West Cowboys, which
initially featured fiddler Abner Sims, guitarist Curly Rhodes, and singer Texas
Daisy. In 1937, fiddler
Redd Stewart joined the lineup, and would later become King's songwriting
partner. Just as importantly, the group was invited to join the Grand Ole Opry.
They were an unorthodox selection that made traditionalists uncomfortable: not
just for their wardrobe, but also for their flashy, professional showmanship and
for the polka and waltz rhythms that drove some of their songs. They remained
regulars over the next ten years, during which time King also hosted his own
radio show in Knoxville; they also evolved into more of a Western swing band.
King first used an amplified electric guitar on-stage at the Opry in 1940, and
introduced drums to the Opry stage in 1947. During that run, several prominent
vocalists passed through the ranks of the Golden West Cowboys, including
Eddy Arnold,
Cowboy Copas, Milton Estes,
Tommy Sosebee, and Becky Barfield. the Golden West Cowboys recorded and
toured as
Minnie Pearl's backing band over 1941-1942, and worked with
Ernest Tubb as well. Additionally, King appeared in several Westerns playing
himself as a bandleader; the first was 1938's Gold Mine in the Sky, starring his
old friend
Gene Autry.
A new era for the band started 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 also signed a
recording contract with RCA, and
Redd Stewart took over the lead Vocals chores. Inspired by
Bill Monroe's hit "Kentucky Waltz," King and
Stewart penned lyrics to an instrumental tune they'd been playing; recorded
in December 1947, "Tennessee Waltz" became a number three hit for King the
following year. Pop singer
Patti Page cut her own version in 1950 and it was an enormous hit, topping
the pop charts and selling several million copies; it ranked as one of the
biggest country crossovers ever. King followed it in 1951 with "Slow Poke," a
novelty tune that topped both the country and pop charts, spending over three
months at number one. Other hit King compositions included "Silver and Gold"
(1952), "Changing Partners" (1954), "Bonaparte's Retreat," "You Belong to Me," "Walk
By the River," "Busybody," and "Bimbo," among others. King also returned to the
movies, appearing in a couple of Charles Starrett Westerns during the early
'50s.
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. From then until
1963, he reunited with
Minnie Pearl and led the Golden West Cowboys as her supporting band. In
1965, Tennessee adopted "Tennessee Waltz" as its official state song. King broke
up the Golden West Cowboys in 1969 and went to work for the Country Music
Foundation, at one point serving as its director. He was elected to the Country
Music Hall of Fame in 1974, later serving on its board of directors, and also
made it into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame. King passed away in
Louisville on March 7, 2000, after suffering a heart attack.
