Queenie Mae Bradley - Stop, Look, And Listen Boogie

 Big And Tall Records is proud to present a new female vocal artist - Queenie Mae Bradley! At 22  years old, she's the youngest artist we've ever recorded, but her voice sure doesn't reflect it! She's already got a positive adult timbre, and she can really sing! But that shouldn't come as a shock once you learn that her Grandmother is Mams Carter, and her Uncle is Amos Carter, of whom both are recording artists for our label! Uncle Amos tells us a little something about his talented niece:

You wouldn't know it by how she can belt out a song, but Queenie Mae is rather shy. But music has always brought here out of her shell.  When she was a little girl, she'd start to dance and then sing when Mams would play anything at the piano that had a good, driving beat. She's a natural! When she was a teen and we had family get-togethers, many times we'd take turns singing or playing and instrument. She was never interested in playing an instrument, her instrument is her voice! When I and then Mams started recording at Delmar Gentry's studio, we kept after her to try it. Cut a record, be a keepsake if nothing else. We finally got her to go to the studio so Delmar could hear her, and she persuaded her to record a song. Queenie, Delmar, and myself worked on a song together for her, and came up with Stop, Look, And Listen Boogie! Delmar sent the recording to the folks at Big And Tall Records, and they called the next day and said they wanted to release it!

Yes, we did. We were, and still are, very impressed with Queenie's talent! That is the purpose of our record label, to find new and/or unknown talent and release recordings of them. By the way, Delmar called us to tell us about her, and towards the end of our conversation he told us he's imposing physically as well as artistically. Delmar himself is about 6 foot 4, and he estimated she's at least 6 foot 2! And he says she's no bean pole, she's got some meat on her bones, a very attractive young woman!

You cavort and drink with the boys
Don't ya have no eye for women?
Playin' cards, watchin' football
Yer makin' a bad decision...

Spendin' all yer time watchin' sports
You shore don't know what yer missin'
Instead of hangin' with the guys
My sweet lips ya'll could be kissin'!

Better stop, look, and listen
You could use a good gal like me
Get yer head out of yer ass
Get it instead where it should be!

I see that yer out and about
A mighty good share of the time
Not arm and arm with a woman
How about if you just take mine!

You attract me so totally
Time for us to get together
I'll treat ya real good, yes I will!
No one ever treat ya better...

Better stop, look, and listen
You need a good woman like me!
Get yer head out of sports and drink
Get it instead where it should be!

Yer a fine lookin' man, yes sir!
I watched ya goin' to and fro
Know you once had a woman
But that was a long time ago

I can help you forget her,
If that's the really big problem
The few times you looked at me
Yer face looked so sad and solemn...

Better stop, look, and listen
You can have me baby for free!
Pay attention to me, man!
Ain't never had a gal like me!

Won't ever stop chasin' you!
You might as well just give in
Take a good long look, and you will!
So c'mon, and let us begin!

I'll put the whammy on you good!
Stare a hole right into yer soul
Then you'll look over my way
And you'll lose all yer control!

Better stop, look, and listen
You'll have some regrets, you'll see!
If ya don't pay no attention...
Won't never ever let ya be!
