The multi talented Queenie Watts. God bless her!
Real style, real East London, a real performer.............magnificent.
I drive my bus through the Isle of Dogs. There is a great sense of history about it. You can just feel it.
I spent a lot of time in the early seventies in Millwall and limehouse area me and my mate Freddie Tulley used to go all round the singalong pubs We used to go to Queenies pub at Limehouse called the Rose and Crown and Oh boy when she was on stage the atmosphere was electric I can still see her in her blue evening gown god bless you a true east end girl
Love Queenie ..loved her voice ! Bless her
She died too song.... bless queenie...she will always be one of ours....
I used to love Queenie. She starred in the TV Series Romany Jones and also in one of the On The Buses full length films. A great actress and comedienne.
Pub landlady in Afie too!
Love this type of stuff, proper working class areas. Same with Liverpool, the local pubs always had a selection of lunatics that everyone knew
Shakehands
I used to live and go to school on the island in the 70's/80's..great days..
Queenie Watts a brilliant actress
Amazing to think that this former working class area is now yuppy central.
+ro eng a little bit of trivia on how the isle of dogs got is name. Henry the eight's dogs made so much noise decided to have them rowed across the river every night. Henry the name isle of dogs
I'd almost forgotten her...same on me! Wonderful singer.

It's a foreign country now
this lady and that's what she was a ''real lady '' Queenie watts'' a full blown power house of talent,an absolute trueborn star like lots in that era but 'compared to now,and from late 1970s the demise of council houses ,pubs clubs and all manufacturing, industry bases of employment ,the television the propaganda, the determination of pushing water up hill,gays, sleazy,untalented crap,on our television ,radio,shy stars paid absolute fortunes, multi millionaires,and the talent of a gnat, people after the war years up till 1980 maybe have had the best years,television radio music films, employment, pubs and clubs etc and the neighbourly community spirit,not now the peoples spirit broken by political correctness, health and safety,and government control of what we can eat, drink ,smoke and even watch and listen to as the mass media is owned by billionaires who control everything and want a slave race,but there will be a fight back from the people,who are sick of the suffocation of greedy power mad war mongering governments looking over our lives and destroying others,long live oliver cromwell

Certainly sounds like she's 'gone to the dogs' with that singing. Am I the only one who thinks she can't sing for toffee?
Shes what my dad called "a belter"
@Bert Clarke well said 😂👏👏👏👏👏
@Bert Clarke 😂😂Spot on!
I agree : (is she even an 'East Ender' ?)
Ain’t about the voice it’s about the history and people of the greatest place to grow up in
