@Ambra Bianca Don't attack me!! I've been listening & collecting records for 50 years!! I'm 67 years old now...I picked Benatar out of a bunch of singers as an example...I don't need you to tell me what to listen to...I love Wanda Jackson for years!! She kicks royal ass...Funny how you've got Cher listed among all those extreme punk chicks...I love Benatar, Tina Turner, Heart, and hundreds of other women who sing rock, country, soul, alternative and lots of other styles...I even love Lady Gaga...For you to bound in here and dump your shit on me doesn't take courage...
My mom went to high school with Wanda Jackson at Capital Hill High in Oklahoma City. They graduated in 1955. Mother just turned 85 in March and is still in OKC and doing pretty well 🍀
I was blessed with the opportunity to open for Wanda Jackson in the early 2000’s. I can honestly tell you that she has not missed a beat since this video was filmed. She took to that stage like a stick of dynamite. She is so energetic and also very kind.
I was at the show when she played a festival in front of the Queen Mary in Long Beach CA. same year. Sad/embarresed to say I missed her set. There were like 15 or 20 bands and I was at the wrong stage. Think watching the Specials or the Jam. The Selectors played too on Wanda's stage. Iggy Pop on the Main Stage. Fun show. Last Festival they did there. Promoter, Goldenvoice, said not enough ppl came out to support it. They moved on to South x Southwest. Shame So Cal didn't show up. Wanda Jackson alone woulda got me out of the house. Bet now during Covid ppl wish for that opportunity.

The softspoken recitation before this sells everything perfectly. Imagine you are about to hear this in person for the very first time. A quiet shy brunette with a plain guitar strolls onto stage with her backup band in The Fifties. And becomes The Queen Of Rockabilly from the first tumultuous note that she sings. God Bless You To This Day, Miss Wanda!B.W.
These old Town Hall Party performances are an absolute treasure trove. If you want to see somebody destroying a double neck guitar that's about as big as he is, do yourself a favor and if you haven't check out some of the Collins Kids' performances on the show. And if you have...probably still worth revisiting!
I think it's fair to say Wanda Jackson was ahead of her time as far as Rock N Roll and rockabilly country are concerned. She was the first Female Rockstar.
@@rleitros9378 No sorry, but no. Brenda Lee is great in her own right, but certainly not the first female Rocker. Wanda on the other hand is a different story. In the time she did rock, blazed trails for people like Joan Jett, Grace Slick, Ann and Nancy Wilson, Melissa Etheridge, Sheryil Crow. The list goes on. Certainly belongs in both the Rock n Roll and Country Music Hall of Fame equally. Brenda scewed more towards the Nashville sound, not to diminish her contributions, she just didn't do as much on the rock end in terms of performance or musical output. As far as being a trailblazer or inspiration for women and Country and rock, Brenda certainly was.
@@TheReviewBoardGaming I'm no expert but aren't you placing a very large emphasis on her ballad type hits and ignoring the early stuff right back to when she was 12 / 13?
@@rleitros9378 No I'm not ignoring her early stuff at all. The nickname "Little Miss Dynamite" wasn't for nothing. That was during the mid to late 50s, about the time Wanda was doing her thing. Take Dynamite, Lets Jump The Broomstick, Sweet Nothings, or Rock the Bop for instance. So in that sense contemporary. As I said both were quite inspirational, both were trailblazers.
@@TheReviewBoardGaming OK. Sweet Nothings is my favourite Brenda Lee song. I loved the later stuff too but she was really taken over by mainstream pop and country. Anyway, you know who I think was the real roots of the tough woman with a guitar in a mans' World -. Memphis Minnie . Some of her songs from the 40s had the beginnings of rock!!
The house band for Town Hall Party in LA. The same set had been Ranch Party for several years with Tex Ritter as host. Joe Maphis on guitar here, was bandleader then too. It featured the Collins Kids, Laurie and Larry. They were about 15 and 13 when they started. Check them out. Great young talent.
Wanda Jackson is a country singer but also a real cool rocker, too. Look how she's moving on the stage, she is a great rockn'roll birdie of the 50's origin!
This is my first time seeing and hearing a female sing a 1958 music video of a song that was made popular by Elvis Presley, and it is amazing. Thank you for a truly interesting music education.
Brilliant rocker, Wanda Jackson is the Queen of Rock & Roll, excellent musicians, maniacal piano player, and I love how the trumpet player gives it that Sonny Burgess like jazz touch. "Let's Have a Party" was one of the first proper R&R records I heard back in 1972, what a woman.
One of the first popular female rockabilly singers and a pioneering rock and roll artist. She is known to many as the "Queen of Rockabilly" (or "First Lady of Rockabilly")
Well, after all, she did have a fling with Elvis. She's the best. I'm lucky to have seen her at Maxwell's a few years back. Still on tour now! Right on Wanda! Thanks for posting this video.
How is it possible that have lived 54 years and never heard Wanda Jackson until this week!! My mother always played every type of music from Gladys Knight to Led Zeppelin, Simon & Garfunkel to Marvin Gaye, Rolling Stones to Loretta Lynn and of course, Elvis to Willie Nelson! She is AMAZING!! LOVE her growling voice and attitude! Waaaaaay ahead of her time! Thanks to Jack White for introducing me to this legend's songbook!

I thought I may have been about to hear some earlier version of Cat Steven's song, and ended up hearing an earlier version of Suzie Quatro instead. Fantastic stuff.
I was 14 in 1958 but our family was not really into country music even though we were Texans. I have always heard her name but I don't believe I ever heard until now. I ended up becoming a classical professional violinist but I am in awe of her now after hearing this. Wow, such power!
I’m sure the reason we never heard of her before she was probably snubbed she seems to be a very powerful woman in those days I am sure it didn’t go over very well in country music

There should be a movie about her for sure!
Happy 85th birthday (October 20, 1937) Wanda Jacson, Rockabilly Queen !
If you heard a female singer sing with this amount of guts and aggression NOW you'd be impressed... this is over 50 years ago. It's amazing!
You can hear her influence when you hear Pat Benatar...

Love Wanda the Queen of Rockabilly. I saw her at multiple show. I saw after her hip surgery, saw her when she retired last show
rockabilly will never die....Wanda will always be the queen..........
Real American music! Wanda J isn't for everyone but you gotta admit she rocks it. If your foot doesn't tap, check your pulse.
fantastic! this is why I enjoy You Tube..
If this isn't an absolute American Icon nothing is!
And listen to the work of the back up band...100% perfect for this raw energy performance.
