Frederick Charles Slack (August 7, 1910 – August 10, 1965) was an American swing and boogie-woogie pianist and bandleader.
Slack played the piano solo on Will Bradley's recording of "Beat me Daddy, Eight to the Bar," one of the early white boogie-woogie hits. After forming his own band in 1942 he quickly had a hit with "Cow Cow Boogie," sung by Ella Mae Morse. This band also had a hit with "Strange Cargo."
Slack also recorded as an accompanist for Big Joe Turner.
