OT: Queen of Rockabilly

She still is performing.She came out with a new album a year or so back.Many years ago one of her oldest friends said,the face of an angel and the voice of an old black bluesman.Wanda dated Elvis in her/his younger days.She's one of those artists that most people seem to know her music,but not always the name.

Thanks, Larry.

A couple of years ago I gave my stereo system to my nephew and no longer have any way to play vinyl records. FWIW, it was a killer system from the late 1970s/mid 1980s, including a Pioneer SX-1980 receiver (270 watts RMS into 4 ohms with both channels driven). It could give one heart massage.

Hopefully, you can find someone who will appreciate them.

Nice picture of Wanda and her band at the end of the video. This was before Roy Clark played in her band in the late 50s/early 60s.

I was working at a gas station in Alton Iowa the summer of 69. Two great things happened that summer. Man landed on the moon and Wanda Jackson and her band bought gas at my station. She was beautiful, even without her stage makeup.
