"Slow Down" is a #rockAndRoll song written and performed by #LarryWilliams. Recorded in 1957, #AllMusic writer Stewart Mason describes it as "raucous enough to be #punkRock nearly a full two decades before the concept was even in existence." #SpecialtyRecords released it as a single in 1958, but only the second-side "#DizzyMissLizzy" reached the record charts. Both songs were later covered by #theBeatles.
