@MrOuthouse59 ...not sure, but that was my understanding...back in the day.. She was played on local stations (station?) and touted as the female Elvis..Was the D.J. Sandy Jackson?
@Shoknifeman You are both right. Nobody cornered the market on being touted as "The Female Elvis". Janis Martin and Sparkle Moore were both billed as a "Female Elvis"...among others. Sparkle played the Val Air Ballroom in Des Moines, Iowa in '56 or '57 and the radio stations, KIOA in particular pushed her as an Elvis type Femme Fatale.
@MrRecordbuyer oh ok, still, RCA who owned Elvis' contract were the ones who promoted Janis Martin as the female Elvis; legally, no one else could be ;) haha... it's all cool Mr Outhouse ^_^
The real Sparkle moore from the 50's is returning this saturday. she is getting inducted into the rock and roll iowa hall of fame at the arnolds clark roof garden ballroom
@catz731 It was really really unbelievable seeing a legend like Sparkle at the induction ceremony! A big thank-you to the IRRMA for inducting Sparkle!

Now THAT is the way to play an electric guitar....unfortunately, weve been subjected to that horrible "screeching cat/metal" guitar style ever since Jimmi Hendrix ruined Rock n Roll
