  • cool :)

  • q voz para Hdp!!!!

  • I saw her tonight in Santa Barbara, she is still a firecracker.

  • I discovered Wanda Jackson last week and i really love her music! So I asked my dad if he knew who Wanda Jackson is and he said that he seen her live here in Sweden. Haha then I asked him 100 questions about it ;D

  • the 12 dislikes must be a 12 fags

  • <3

  • Wanda Jackson = 100% vocal/musical talent.

    Taylor Swift = 0 vocal talent, 0 musical talent.

  • Keep your eyes peeled for "WOMEN OF ROCK" aired on ch-10 PBS

  • She toured and dated elvis in the mid 50s. Wonder if he got his sound from her, or she from him. WILD!!!!!!

  • Tear it up Wanda !!!!!!

    

  • she's the BEST

  • the best queen

  • Wanda Jackson

    is

    amazing

  • I can't wait to see her in Zürich 30.10.11 :-))))))

  • damn she is good, she is burning fire man what a voice it's elvis in woman man what a rock and roller

  • I really wanna learn how to sing with that much rasp.

    SHES SOOO CUTE, EVEN NOW <3

  • she sings very bat! she's a full person.

  • I've always loved her music, I had one of her albums when I was in the Air Force in the 60's and I played it to death. Let's have a party was my favorite.

  • Going to see her in Seattle tonight. She's opening for Adele =)

  • It's hard to conceive of that voice coming from that face and body. Very unique sound. Very gritty and tough.

  • She was too wicked sexy for her time--they could barely deal with Elvis; no way was America going to elevate a woman who commands the stage like she does here. America's loss!

  • @TheCatgirl6 what do you mean america could barely deal with elvis? talk about distorting history, elvis was the white singer the big companies were looking for since chuck berry was rocking years and years before. if anything elvis made black music acceptable in society.

  • @kawadamark How old are you, dear? Never mind. It's you who are distorting history--Elvis did indeed make black music acceptable for white audiences, but there were many MANY white Americans (older folks and authority figures especially) who viewed "Elvis the Pelvis" as a threat to the social order precisely for that reason and because his unapologetic sexiness was seen as overt and unsettling. This is what I meant by America being barely able to deal with him, and Wanda not at all.

  • @TheCatgirl6 Agreed, but my point was just because Elvis wasn't liked by the older upper class it doesn't mean he was the responsible for the threat to the social order, in fact he was promoted by the big companies because it allowed a revolution between the norms, instead of the black musicians who wrote his songs and had as much attitude as he had

  • @kawadamark You are still missing MY point. I don't mean older people didn't like Elvis personally--how many of them knew Elvis? or had actually even met him? Anyone who is new and different in a provocative way, especially in an era as deeply conformist and casually racist as was 1950s America, is usually seen as challenging the acceptable norm. And that element alone was part of Elvis's appeal for younger audiences; their parents didn't get Elvis, didn't like him or his music.

  • @kawadamark And the music establishment had zero interest in social revolutions, musical or otherwise. Then and now it's all about profit. They promoted Elvis because his appeal was so explosive and sold so many records--teenagers hadn't reacted so fervently to a popular singer since the days of Sinatra and the bobby-soxers. Big companies saw the opportunity to make millions off Elvis Presley; his making black music (and performers) "safe" for white America was strictly incidental.

  • She's so cool and talented. I saw her on tv recently and thought she was interesting. This song is nice I really like it. It's fun. c:

  • This woman is fantastic, would be a great video but for that bloody trumpet

  • Why would people compare wanda to adele ....

  • hua diucer huts gifer helsi no le mijer le toi le munde ¹ hustget

  • what type of guitair is that fellah useing?

  • @shaftsbury94 A double-neck custom made Mosrite - if you want to see it used by others then search for the Collins Kids here on Youtube :-)

  • @dkfelix and deke dickerson

  • @shaftsbury94 That is not just "some fellah", that is Joe Maphis.............."The King of the strings". Joe made the double necked guitar famous. His were made by Mosrite Guitar Co. in Bakersfield, CA.

  • Just saw Wanda on a local University Public Access channel here in Oklahoma.She looks great & is doing well.Her mother just passed in hr 90's so I think will we will Wanda for some time to come :)

  • When music was actually fun.

  • @Vercingetorix2006 search rockabilly, it's still out there man.

  • The Queen of Rockabilly for sure, and she had some style!! ;) God bless her....

  • That was pretty cool - "lets go again!"

  • wtf did she take that from little richard????

    

  • that ain't no lie.

  • super!!! wow!!

  • Very sexy woman . . . and what a voice as well!

  • The female equivilant to Elvis.

  • I want her dress, I want her guitar, I want her voice. I want to be like her.

  • Shesss sooo hotttt. I wish was around back then, I could be her Cosmo and have lots of little Timmys with her.

  • yes she is the very best Rockabella

  • Her last album is just awesome.

  • Rock & Roll music doesn't get any better than Wanda Jackson!

  • Kickin!

  • might be Joe Maphis on double-neck?

  • Oh Wanda, WANDA! Where have I been all your life?

  • She's a DYNO ! Wish she would have married Elvis . She would have been his saving grace, and Elvis possibly still with us.

    Wish I could see footage of them doing a gig, very similar style, what a great

    team, Elvis & Wanda!

  • Quando è nel sangue...................

  • The piano sounds like it is dying to keep up with Wanda :)

  • Just blogged this along w/ the recent Letterman appearance. Thanks for sharing.

  • Well she is an okie like me and she just sings what she has seen

  • Whoa. Is her lead guitarist playing a double-necked guitar? Strange.

  • I consider myself a pretty big Elvis fan - and I am today, just learning of Wanda Jackson.

    exactly. kind of like your sarcasm.

  • She's my math teachers husband's mom

  • @WolfVisser1 She was my moms classmate at Maud OK High school

  • @WolfVisser1 my god :D

  • the cowboy douchebag's cramping wanda's style ahahah

  • I love wanda jackson

  • Too True y'all

  • she certainly is the Rockabilly queen go lassie go

  • First female to record a Rock and Roll album. She

    worked with a ton of legends including her ex boyfriend

    Elvis.

  • Great player player

  • @amnaki He is not only a great guitar player, it is Joe Maphis. Look up "Pickin' and Singin'" on YouTube and you'll see him play guitar, banjo, mandolin, bass AND fiddle. Like Roy Smeck, it seems that he stayed at the talent store longer than most. Oh, and he could sing, too! I believe that the guitar in this shot was custom built for him by the Mosrite company.

  • I love women who know how to rock n roll I think i'm in love =D

  • Daje che potenza

  • Great!!

  • recently discovered the existence of this baby but now will be my guide in the other rock and roll rockabilly queen

  • The first Supercharged Rock-a-Billy Lady

  • holy smokes!

  • I think maybe Joe Maphis is playing guitar for her. He was a super picker.

  • whos on guitar? straight insane shredding. and killer singing. too hot for her own good.

  • I can't find my favorite song, Funner of love somebody have that song?

  • ooooooh si....il rocckkka.

  • Love this song...it ROCKS!...She was way ahead of her time!...

    I'm named after her...my parents said as they were driving to the hospital, they heard her on the radio, so named me Wanda (I don't know why they would listen to the radio when they were rushing to the hospital? LOL).

    Wanda

  • wanda fucking rocks!

    she should have been huge.

  • @inputmodule Support her while she's still alive! Buy her records!

  • @inputmodule she's huge,all over the body and deep down through her throat.

  • Man this is a great clip! Wanda is 72 now. And she is STILL rockin'. She learned Rockabilly from Elvis, and has been a terrific influence on many others. Listen to YouTube "Hard Headed Woman - Wanda Jackson and Imelda May" if you want to see/hear yesterday and today in Rockabilly!

  • 72 and still rockin' honky-tonks roadhouses and biker bars.

  • Nice trumpet. I thought only Sonny Burgess did RnR/Rockabilly trumpet.

    Nice dress and performance Wanda.

  • Elvis called her to tell her how much he admired her!!

  • holy shit this woman is amazing why have i never heard of er before. bad ass.

  • wanda jackson is totally the queen of Rockabilly she was it those days and she still is

  • Super! Ich bin begeistert!!!!

  • she is great

  • Yeah, she TAUGHT Elvis how to do it. She doesn't get the recognition she deserves.

  • @iciavosser Actually, when they were touring together in 1955, Elvis taught Wanda how to integrate rock with the country she was already singing to sing "rockabilly" . She talks about this on her "I Forgot To Remember" video, also on youtube. They dated for awhile and I always thought they would have made a great team (singing and in life) if only he had ended up with her instead of Priscilla.

  • wanda your the best.. long live rockabilly.enjoy it now before chairman mao obama puts a tax on it or makes it illegal

  • One of the most dedicated performances of wome in rock. Love You Wanda! xoxo

  • Nice gem...thanks for posting. Somehow I was not aware of Wanda Jackson...however after watching the video this quote came to mind: [About Fred Astaire] "Sure he was great, but don't forget Ginger Rogers did everything he did backwards . . . and in high heels!"

  • this is a treat !! thanks !

  • Amazing Wanda (Elvis who?)

    Long live Bo Diddly always the true king

  • la reina rockabilly

  • a woman with attitude rock a billy or what

  • Wonda is the best, Her music will never die out or fade away because it's so fantastic and was way ahead of it's time then to be sang by a chick. I love music and get insperation everywhere i'm 22 and wanda is one of my biggest influance's in my writing and preforming. Her and Elvis rocked together (as much as i love Precilla, though!) they were one COOL couple and i wish i'd met them together. But next time Wanda's here in the UK i've gotta be there!!!!

  • I think she dated Elvis.

  • Great! I love Wanda. Greets from Slovakia.

  • which is the name of this song?

  • "Hard-Headed Woman".

  • The name of this song is "Hard headed woman", it's quite a simmilar tune to "Let's have a party" but both fab ssongs by the greatest rockabilly chick EVER!

  • Search "Imelda May, Johnny Got a BoomBoom".  She's new, and she sounds alot like Wanda.

  • Joe Maphis was the lead guitarist in the house band...wudda talent!!!!

  • Rrrrockin 50s Rrrrock n Rrrroll - You betcha yeaah !

  • she will always be amazing <3 love wanda =) a 16 year old hotrodder-chick

  • I think it's Elvis in a dress from hell! LOL

  • @Gaygarious I don't think Elvis ever looked like that. I think that dress was made of asbestos so it wouldn't self combust. I love Wanda Jackson! She.s COOL..

  • oh yea!*****!!!!=)

  • ZAJEBISTA

  • ooh yeah! that's a real rockabiily singer.Grreat voice excellent footage.style and elegance...what else?

  • holy shitballs on fire... is that joe maphis playing lead guitarr?

  • Just saw her perform last night...still full of amazing energy & rocked the house!!! Great to see an early video of this Rock-n-Roll Hall of Famer!

  • i know right, her voice is still the same and amazing!

  • First and only time I saw this was in the Country Music HoF in Nashville when I went transatlantic for the first time.... was stunned - sign of those times that there weren't more women doing this when clearly the talent was around.... ace stuff.

  • Who plays the trumpet?

  • rockabilly queen! :)

  • she blazed the trail for any gal to be badass

  • 10-20-2009. She's not blue. She's only 72. Happy Birthday, Wanda. Show these wanna-be's of today how it's done.

  • Yes, She's my QUEEN

  • Wanda is and has always been the real deal!

  • Love, love, love this video...and I can tell by the numbers I'm not alone. She was and still is a great entertainer.

  • I wish there were some videos of Janis Martin..

  • I think that Wanda can still rock, god bless her

  • Better than anything coming out today! WOW!!!

  • Very foolish.

  • I there was a sexier female rocker than Wanda in her hey day I haven't seen her.

    This lady ROCKS!!!!!

  • "Samson told Delilah loud & claer, 'Keep your cottonpickin fingers out ma curly hair ho ho yeah! ' " Now that 's O-riginal scripture - rrreal rrreligin !!!!!

  • the only thorn is that trumpet....she's amazing !

  • How did I miss this gal - I just seen her and heard of her tonight for the first time! It's so good to see a real cool woman, you know...just cool. Has it all and doesn't have to try cos she's free. Where are they now? I've always loved singing songs that are performed by men and it's good to see her takin a male vocal with such ease and put as much rawness in so easily. Wow. You learn something new.....

  • music politics as usual

  • Hard headed woman is a thorn in a side of a man. WOW. Never could make that part out when Elvis sang it. This gal was ahead of her time. She should have been huge.

  • she actually is huge. she is one of the few to have number ones on the pop rock and country charts. but i knoe what you mean i never heard of her until i saw her last week live and she still got it!

  • @HermanJ06 As another YouTuber commented Wanda wasnt just hot..she was dangerous.

  • SUPER WANDA

  • I love her.

  • GREAT!

  • Wanda rocks!

  • Oh yeahhhhhhhhhhhhh she's amazing ohhhh rock and roll

  • DAMN!

    BAD

    ASS!

  • i loveee this woman!!

    yeeeeah!

  • Did you all know, reviewers, that after this

    Wanda was forced to turn to Country

    because girls shakin' their body was

    something terrible in '58? Wanda is one

    of the most underrated singers. She was

    and still is the real queen of Rock & Roll

  • The birth of Rock'n Roll, and what a woman to kick it off with.

  • This REALLY happened!! Awesome!!

  • Jerry Lee Lewis in a dress

  • wanda jakson rocks!

  • You betcha!!

  • I'd kill for that dress.

  • so would Klinger !

  • Excelente rockanrolera!!!!!!!!!!

  • This woman is simply fantastic!!! What a luxury to hear her sing and watch her dance!!!

  • uff muy bueno!!!

  • A second Elvis championed her for the R-n-R HOF. Elvis Costello wrote a letter saying he was ashamed of his own induction ahead of Wanda and I can't help but suspect he helped get her enshrined, albiet later than she deserved.
