My grandfather, On Nov 28 1958 was standing at the foot of the stage about 6ft from Wanda and later that night got to talk and meet with Wanda. Seeing this video brought back a lot of fond memories. He was 18 yrs old during Wanda performance and today going to be 79 yrs old now.
Wanda Jackson - too beautiful for words. And she still looks damn good today. Her voice is still as strong as ever too. That fiddle player is pretty fine too, plus she plays a mean lick in the intro that she repeats in her solo. Some immortals in the band there as well ; Joe and Rose Lee Maphis, and of course Merle Travis also.
I fell in love with her in the 60,s I listen to almost every nite as I so and relax. I. Think I have listened to every song she has ever. Sang. With Everyone And alone. All great.
WANDA is the most underated performer ever, she was in my estimation the greatest female singer ever. She could do any style country, blues rock-a billy, whatever she wanted
I saw Wanda Jackson at a long defunct amusement park called Craterville, at Lugert Reservoir near Altus, Oklahoma. It would have been right around the time of this taping, because I was about five years old. She picked me up and gave me kiss on the cheek, and said I was adorable...I was in love lol :-)
It is absolutely AMAZING to me how today's "country singers" simply CANNOT tell the difference between what they do... ....and COUNTRY MUSIC. (Now THIS... was Country Music)
@@isorokudono the song is considered country, but Wanda was rockabilly at the time. Plenty of rock and roll singers and rockabilly singers sand country tunes and country singers sand rock songs. Everything back then sounded a lot alike, hence all the crossover hits. Funny, it is the same today but without the crossovers.
my grandfather saw her many times. as he grew up near Ada Oklahoma. can you imagine that beautiful woman belting it out at your local drive-in. she is still alive and well the most influential woman in rock music.
+IGOR OZKARSKI Then you're obviously not very familiar with her '50s music. Elvis influenced her to put a rock twist on her normal country music and she did for a decade. She transitioned back to a country style in 1965. She's an early rockabilly influence. Listen to her song Let's Have a Party & her version of Long Tall Sally.
Demon Talk ...... I thought i lost Wanda for good as i had lost her album 40 years ago but finding her on u tube is a pure joy. Wanda's one of the greatest singers on earth. Her music lives in me. Even my late num loved her music. Her music and all country singers is ageless. .....Jerrie Singapore.
I had the privilege of opening her show at the Mercury in Tulsa Oklahoma one night about 10 years ago and it was packed. She’s now in the halls of fame.
Back when Compton was a hillbilly town. I can still remember the Dance hall from when I was a kid. "Burt "Foreman" Phillips, himself a bandleader had been promoting country and Western barn dance programs at the old Town Hall building, situated at 400 South Long Beach Boulevard in Compton." My uncle just loved the old TV show which was on KTTV Channel 11.
Charlie Walker of San Antone sold about a million copies on Pamper label in 1959. Harlon Howard wrote it. Will still fill the biggest dance floor in Texas!
great song. True country singer with the Joe Maphis band. Remember him? West Coast country show from 50s. Wanda still seen on various country shows, wow. this is something ...enjoy folks. mos60
Aren't you glad they taped this stuff? I vote for you tube. Wanda is just unbelievable on all these live videos. Tremendous performer, complete control of her voice. Plus it's nice that she is so attractive.
I FIND THIS SONG, AS YOU SAID EVEN YOURSELF, A GREAT COUNTRY SONG! I LIVE IT! THE FUDDKE PLAYER IS A PHENOMENON. IT IS REALLY ESOCTIC FOR ME THIS OLD SHOW! LOUIS CELLAURO
I can't believe there is one dislike for this but there is no accounting for taste. I believe Charlie's version is the original but Wanda does very well. Her best son is Right Or Wrong.
Notice at the beginning how confident and in charge she is.She's not wearing a house dress and apron like some of the country "girl" singers did in the 50s ether.
FOR ME, THIS IS THE BEST WANDA JACKSON'S HIT! RATHER THAN HER CONTRIBITION TO ROCK AND ROLL MUSIC! AND THE VIDEO OF 1958 IS RATHER EXOTIC, INCLUDING FOR YOUNG AMERICANS OF 2022, 65 YEARS LATER. SHE ALSO SAID THAT SHE LOVED THIS SONG HERSELF!
I JUST LISTENED TO THE MOTHER OF THE KENNEDYS. I AM A FOREIGNET: I REALLY THINK THAT YOUR ENGLISH AND THE WAY YOU EXPTESS YOURSELF IS MUCH MUCH BETTER!
I was a kid but I absorbed it from my parents....it was a great time....all music was exploding...and most of it was awesome....technology has far out run the musicians of today....they can do anything with technology but create.
That "Mountain White", accent is fading fast, like a whole lost era of the Friday night square dance at the fire house with the wind through the pines as I smooched with what's 'er name - I'll never forget her down by the beach in the moonlight.
Pick me up on your way down. “ Martina McBride You were mine for just a while, Now you're puttin' on the style And you've never once looked back At your home across the track. You're the gossip of the town But my heart can still be found Where you tossed it to the ground. Pick me up on your way down. Pick me up on your way down, When you're blue and all alone When their glamor starts to bore you, Come on back where you belong. You may be their pride and joy, But they'll find another toy And they'll take away your crown, So Pick me up on your way down. .....music..... They have changed your attitude, Made you haughty and so rude, Your new friends can take the blame, Cause Underneath you're still the same. When you learn these things are true I'll be waiting here for you, When you tumble to the ground Pick me up on your way down Pick me up on your way down, When you're blue and all alone When their glamor starts to bore you, Come on back where you belong. You may be their pride and joy, But they'll find another toy And they'll take away your crown, Pick me up on your way down. Yeah, When you tumble to the ground Well, Pick me up on your way down
She signed a record for me once and it said "the queen of rockabilly" on it. She said, "why do they call me that?" I said, "what would you like to be called?" And Wanda said, "the queen of rock and roll!" She is fantastic.
@AlFrisby That's Rose Maphis, Joe's wife, sitting behind him, but the really amazing thing is that nobody has identified the dude behind the fiddle player, it's MERLE TRAVIS.
Wanda Jackson is a true Rock music pioneer. She has definitely earned her spot in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.

Wow, what an experience for your Grandpa, and a nice memory for you as well.
The more I listen to Wanda, the more I like her

Merle Travis played with Wanda Jackson?
@@jettrink5810Well, he's off to the left rear in the dark suit playing the big Gibson so he did in this show anyway.
Wanda is an absolute gem. Stunningly beautiful and pleasure to listen too. Completely timeless.
Have never heard Wanda Jackson sing a bad song. One of the All-Time greats!!
I fell in love with her in the 60,s

She was one of Moms favorites. i saw her once when I was a child at a park in California the western singers would perform at park for free

Wow! What a great story! At five, I would have melted. I wouldn't have known why for another 8 years, or so. haha.
Awwwwww🥰😍
i wish I could catch her in a show somewhere before something tragic happens and we loose another great one
I've had the privilege of seeing Wanda Jackson recently (2012) and I'm here to tell you she can still belt out the songs.
she can still do it in 2018!
Wanda Jackson...wow! Love her twangy singing. No one else like her!!
This is the kind of country music that Wanda truly shined on.
It is absolutely AMAZING to me how today's "country singers" simply CANNOT tell the difference between what they do...
....and COUNTRY MUSIC.
(Now THIS... was Country Music)
precisely
The category is actually called Rockabilly. She is the Queen of Rockabilly !
@@1-shotslinger108 No. This is country like what Hank Williams played.
@@1-shotslinger108 That's country. Flat out.

...This is when "country" was "Country"!
She was great, and is still great today !
My Girl, the greatest! True Pioneer. Soo classy
I was right here in those days and I miss them very much!!! We had it all!!!! Wanda Jackson!!
my grandfather saw her many times. as he grew up near Ada Oklahoma. can you imagine that beautiful woman belting it out at your local drive-in. she is still alive and well the most influential woman in rock music.
She played Cain's Ballroom in Tulsa a year or two again. I wish I'd seen her.

Fantastic and just love that Southern drawl
That woman with the fiddle was great with style,Wanda Jackson has a excellent voice and style as well
just enough .Fiddlin' Kate Warren on the violin.

Wanda was in a class by herself, A Rockabilly Angel !
Boy, that girl can sing, I haven't heard her for awhile I almost forgot how good she was.
Watched Wanda on The Red Foley show (Ozark Jubilee) back in the late 50s man could she warm up ones blood
Charlie Walker of San Antone sold about a million copies on Pamper label in 1959.
Harlon Howard wrote it. Will still fill the biggest dance floor in Texas!

I was surprised to see Billy Mize on electric steel peddle .....Great artist Billy Mize..
Awesome live performance! This song should have been a number one hit on the Country charts. Man this woman had talent.
HAS talent.... she is still alive and performing. :-)
It was. By Charlie Walker.
@@jameslancaster7621 I know she is still alive.
Why is she so amazing???? no one dislikes this, how could they?
She's Great, real and genuine.
How I missed this talent, I have no idea,, but at 78 it’s not too late.mJust great!
Wow, just became a Wanda Jackson fan..great job. Thanks Wanda.
My favorite lady of R & R or Rockabilly or even Boogie Woogie, particularly if you listen to "Let's Have a Party", my all time favorite of hers.
justlookin11 true
Great Song by a very talented Singer....Good to see Joe Maphis...!!!..............Sid...!!!

What an amazing voice.
Wanda Jackaon IS the most beautiful woman in country, rockabilly and rock n roll.

What an absolutely delightful woman! Just Gorgeous...
Aren't you glad they taped this stuff? I vote for you tube.
Wanda is just unbelievable on all these live videos. Tremendous performer, complete control of her voice. Plus it's nice that she is so attractive.
It ain't Charlie but it ain't bad. I've always loved this beautiful lady's music. Her recording of "We Could" was "our song" for my wife and I.
Much better than Charlie, and a hole lot Prettier
Tim yes Rockabilly . Some consider both Rock and Roll and Rockabilly. All I know she is the best I have heard in Both
one of the greats.
She's booked foe Viva Las Vegas next spring, I hope she sings this one!!!
Top of the bell curve!
This is as good as it gets!

I appreciate her true accent.
So many "country" singers put on a fake country accent.
Love you, Wanda
Joe Smith: what accent. She throws in 1 or 2 words per song but that's more than okay t'me. She's still a music Goddess
Fantastic!! That's a voice and a half!
I JUST LISTENED TO THE MOTHER OF THE KENNEDYS. I AM A FOREIGNET: I REALLY THINK THAT YOUR ENGLISH AND THE WAY YOU EXPTESS YOURSELF IS MUCH MUCH BETTER!
So wonderful.
No words, hail to the queen! /kneel /kneel
rebel queen of rock 'n' roll music. long live wanda jackson!
Can't wait to see her at Make the Music Go Bang! on September 20 here in SoCal.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Wanda Jackson , desert island this song
and her father Stonewall Jackson´s "Don´t be angry".
Would have loved to be around in those days...My type of country...
So true Michael. The best
I was a kid but I absorbed it from my parents....it was a great time....all music was exploding...and most of it was awesome....technology has far out run the musicians of today....they can do anything with technology but create.
Luv her...❤
The Party Timers is an all-time Country Band name.
She was a stunner!!!
incredible talent-incredible beauty
What a voice, amazing!!!!
She was a very beautiful lady. Sure could sing......
That "Mountain White", accent is fading fast, like a whole lost era of the Friday night square dance at the fire house with the wind through the pines as I smooched with what's 'er name - I'll never forget her down by the beach in the moonlight.
Can't wait!! She's such an inspiration to women in music - Dahmia
i use to have country music in my wagon love it
She was the greatest.
love her I like her singing Country Real Gem
I love you and your country singing
lol huh

From Town Hall Party to Straight Outta Compton, Amazing.
+Robert Smith Straight Outta Compton? What? How is that related?
+GeneralDerp Town Hall Party was broadcast from Compton in an old dance barn that could hold about 3000 people
markebrunke Oh, okay
Of course,in the UK we never saw these wonderful shows,even IF we had a telly.....but we DID have Six Five Special!
love the old clips!
Iconic in the true sense of the word
WOW! One of my all-time favorite performers!!!!!
Awesome version of this tune!
So hot!!! Love that '50s twang in the vocals too!
Very good singer. Love her. Bring her up up up to the sky now....not when she are dead as the usual.
Wish I grew up back then! WOW!
Valuable musical memories, congratulations and to broadcast!***
Pick me up on your way down. “
Martina McBride
You were mine for just a while,
Now you're puttin' on the style
And you've never once looked back
At your home across the track.
You're the gossip of the town
But my heart can still be found
Where you tossed it to the ground.
Pick me up on your way down.
Pick me up on your way down,
When you're blue and all alone
When their glamor starts to bore you,
Come on back where you belong.
You may be their pride and joy,
But they'll find another toy
And they'll take away your crown,
So Pick me up on your way down.
.....music.....
They have changed your attitude,
Made you haughty and so rude,
Your new friends can take the blame,
Cause Underneath you're still the same.
When you learn these things are true
I'll be waiting here for you,
When you tumble to the ground
Pick me up on your way down
Pick me up on your way down,
When you're blue and all alone
When their glamor starts to bore you,
Come on back where you belong.
You may be their pride and joy,
But they'll find another toy
And they'll take away your crown,
Pick me up on your way down.
Yeah, When you tumble to the ground
Well, Pick me up on your way down
and kudos for Ms.Jackson for actually hiring women side musicians!!
Love Wanda, love this tune, Thanks.
Awesome!!
Bin Jahrgang '66...WANDA I LOVE YOU
Isn't she great? Love this!
Wanda Jackson is the Queen of Rock and Roll
She signed a record for me once and it said "the queen of rockabilly" on it. She said, "why do they call me that?" I said, "what would you like to be called?" And Wanda said, "the queen of rock and roll!" She is fantastic.
But she was more rockabilly than rock id say.She dated Elvis for a while.
"You look awful pretty tonight." Love it!
That's classic Southern twang, dig it.
A favorite of mine
This is true country, love it
@AlFrisby That's Rose Maphis, Joe's wife, sitting behind him, but the really amazing thing is that nobody has identified the dude behind the fiddle player, it's
