RATED "TOPS" IN SHOW WHIRL
By Staff Correspondent
UNA MAE CARLISLE, a popular artist here and abroad, has once
again come into the spotlight. Surely, you must have heard of this top
ranking star who is a styled pianist and composer. She has performed
spectacularly on the air, stage, screen, nite clubs and television, ap
pearing in the Starlight Room at the Waldorf-Astoria; the Blue Room
in the Hotel Lincoln; at Radio City’s Music Hall; the swanky Ruban
Bleu, and also at the Onyx Club, where she is right now, doubling from
Harlem’s Apollo Theatre.
Soundies, recordings, and writing hit tunes, it would seem, are Una
Mae’s hobbies. Her most recent composition, “That’s The Stuff You
Gotta Watch," is popular, along with two most recent (Joe Davis) rec
ordings, namely: “The Rest Of My Life,” and “You’re Gonna Change
Your Mind.” Others include, “You And Your Heart of Stone,” “With
out You Baby,” “’Tain’t Yours,” and “You Gotta Take Your Time.”
Back in 1940 Miss Carlisle composed “Walkin’ By The River,” which
led the Hit Parade for more than a year. She’s considered the most
gifted of modern artists linked with the show business whirl. Under
personal management of Joe Glaser, Una Mae was the first to record
for the Joe Davis Recording Company.
