"Slow Poke" was a big hit in the US, but that term is apparently unknown in England, where "slow coach" is used instead. So King re-recorded the song as "Slow Coach" for release over there.

Pee Wee King also scored with "The Tennessee Waltz" in 1948. Perhaps this tune was inspired by "The Missouri Waltz,", a song that could not be played on the radio today due to its highly politically incorrect lyrics.
