Sketch of...(4)


Little Queenie (Chuck Berry 1959)

He was called the "big big daddy of them all" , in the speakers presentation before the live concert recording at Fillmore East, San Fransisco (?), already nearly forty years ago... As a mother of fact, specially, many of the Rolling Stones´ covers didn´t reduce the boogie. Shortly, in the lyrics of Little Queenie I find;

"There she is again,
standin´over the record machine, ---
lookin´like a model
on the the cover of a magazine, ---
She´s too cute
to be a minute over seventeen"

For sure, these were not chosen words by Bing Crosby.
