Julius Frank Anthony Kuczynski[1] (February 18, 1914 – March 7, 2000),[2] known professionally as Pee Wee King, was an American country music songwriter and recording artist best known for co-writing "Tennessee Waltz".

[1] King was not permitted to use the drummer and trumpeter he featured in his stage shows when the band played at the Grand Ole Opry, where both instruments were banned.

When confronted about it afterward, King told Opry emcee George D. Hay that he had done his stage show, as asked.

[5][6] His band also introduced on-stage dancing and Nudie Cohn's customized 'rhinestone cowboy' outfits,[7] which later became popular with Nashville and country musicians, including Elvis Presley, to the Opry.

He joined producers Randall Franks and Alan Autry for the In the Heat of the Night cast CD Christmas Time's A Comin' performing "Jingle Bells" with the cast released on Sonlite and MGM/UA for one of the most popular Christmas releases of 1991 and 1992 with Southern retailers.
