Wanda Jackson (no relation to those Jacksons) began singing when she was about 15 in the mid-fifties. Those were different days than today. She was very sexy, as most will agree, but her parents watched over her as she sought stardom in this new business. She sang rockabilly and country mostly and was good, nobody can deny that. In the early days there were just a few girl rock singers, and fewer that were good, fewer still in Wanda Jacksons class. Another thing she was known for is being Elvis' girlfriend, for a time. Today she's still going strong, her voice as good as ever, issuing new albums, in her 70's. Listen and enjoy...
