I'm looking for a song sung by a woman. It could be from the late 1940s or 1950s. It is a risqué song, in a blues style. " I want a man, I want a man who can stand up, I said stand up...."
The song you're referring to sounds like **"I Want a Tall Skinny Papa"** by **Sister Rosetta Tharpe**.
This song was released in the 1940s and is a classic example of the risqué, double-entendre lyrics that were common in blues music at the time. The line "I want a man, I want a man who can stand up, I said stand up" fits with the playful and bold style that Sister Rosetta Tharpe was known for.
Tharpe was a pioneering figure in gospel and blues music, blending spiritual lyrics with rhythmic, danceable tunes that had a significant influence on the development of rock and roll.
