I would bet that most people in that audience had no clue how famous this wonderful living legend, actually is. Just take a look at how many listings there are for Wanda Jackson, on youtube. More than most. She stood out among most female singers in the 50's and later.
"Silver Threads and Golden Needles", a song written by Jack Rhodes and Dick Reynolds, was first recorded by Wanda Jackson in 1956. The original lyrics, as performed by Jackson, contain a verse not usually included in later versions, which also often differed in other minor details.

Enjoyed this!
And I think the correct last line for the verse is "To think your PRIDE would let you live by the golden rule."

Its a bit difficult to hear clearly ... prety hot micraphone and crowd white noise. I'd really like to hear that second verse clearly.

"I grew up in in faded gingham where love is a sacred thing
You grew up in silk and satin where love is a passin' game
I know now you never loved me and I know I was the fool
To think your cry would let you live by the golden rule"

shouldn't it be, to think your pride[instead of cry] would let you live by the golden rule. just asking!
