Wanda Jackson

Postby Colin B » Tue Oct 20, 2015 12:52 pm

Wanda Jackson.

The popular US country/rock/gospel husky-voiced singer who brought us many rockin' renditions is 78 today !

Happy Birthday, Wanda !

She successfully covered Elvis' Let's Have a Party back in the fifties, & even had a brief relationship with him.

Not only did she cover Elvis' Party, but also his Hard Head Woman

Thanks, Graeme !

Wanda's rockin' voice is like Brenda Lee-meets-Little Richard !
