god I love wanda jackson! she's so beautiful and badass at the same time!

[DougPatton1]

Wanda - the female Elvis !

[rehf10]

hella good concept of sexynes!

[TheNigelc8]

Christ , if only this beautiful brilliant and sexy woman had Gene Vincents( Be Bop A Lula's) backing band she would have been sensational, With this lot she is treading treacle, Wanda Jackson years ahead of her time a true rocker

[5656bigsteve]

Wanda is great! imagine if she'd had a better band. A trumpet player in the right key would've helped too.

[CrypticAngel92]

Oh my. . .She is absolutely beautiful and her voice is amazing!

[tishhead]

now i know why parents thought rock and roll was dangerous back then. many, many impure thoughts.....

[BeatleJim55]

CLASSIC rock'n'roll with the great Wanda Jackson...

[jazzievideos]

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

[susannah35]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS.

[cuntishsort]

YES!!!!!!!!

[cannedbread58]

words cannot describe how much i love this.

[KronsteinA]

Я бы ей вдул!

[dothejive]

Fiddlin Kate looks a bit jealous, and her reaction to Wanda around 1:47 is priceless. She probably couldnt handle such a great woman performer like Wanda Jackson to share the stage with.

[ronaldt491]

@dothejive Kind of looks like she's checking Wanda out!!!

[nomiclas]

she makes that "shimmy skirt" move.too kool!

[DeceasedDeath]

She was usually backed (on her Capitol recordings, though not apparently on this video) by the Poe Kats (Bobby Poe, rhythm guitar, Big Al Downing, piano, Vernon Sandusky, lead guitar).

[serpico56]

She really needed a great rock band to back her.

[eddieburns74]

Joe Maphis on guitar? 

[biglinguist]

Aside from the fact that this is GREAT, there's also some really cool stuff going on around the sides: the blonde mobster's moll fiddler in the strange socks cutting her eyes at Wanda, Wanda's tiny "I'm surrounded by morons" look at 1:04 after the doofus does his schtick, the inbred church lady in the background from 1:49 on...

[Pbsmike]

wow! Never heard of her,but she got the goods! Thanks for this video..love finding new stuff!

[Shoknifeman]

It's amazing that she wasn't banned from TV, that was WAY raunchy for the 50s (Not that "I" mind any!)

[donpdn]

Yes, this is precious footage of Wanda and her band!

[xanfus]

double neck!

[Jeffs45rpm]

 Kind of a Gene Vincent Lotta Love..guitar intro.......great stuff ! The great Wanda Jackson......can ...can....can........don't make em' like that anymore! Rockabilly 4ever....thanks for posting...jeff's45rpm

[TheAndrew0203]

This is the top of the rock and roll

[poopinmymouthilikeit]

GET IT, girl.

[Msbbopalula]

Theres just something about this gal rockin with a guitar and a dress- so rough but soft and feminine at the same time...she really is a rock n roll queen.

[Beelzebrad667]

@Msbbopalula She's THEE rock n roll queen.

[tortolafan]

Check out Wanda's move at 1:47 and watch the fiddle player's reaction.

Great song...great voice...great moves...pure rock and roll!

[SuesDaytona]

@tortolafan

Yes I noticed that too!!!!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHA

[whitt702]

I like Wanda, but I like her better when ol' Joe was hitting those Maphis-Travis licks on that doubleneck.

[DeceasedDeath]

How tall is Joe Maphis? He looks like a giant compared to poor little Wanda... :)

[doyle921]

Her dress is made of asbestos so it won't ignite into flames. That Oklahoma gal can sing...damn.

[FargoMarc]

@doyle921 I agree. She is SMOKIN' HOT! A cute little lady with a big tough voice!

[woodash1]

0:30-0.50. The facial gestures and winking. No wonder the guy fell down. He didn't stand a change. It wasn't a fair fight.

[SNARZ891]

Check Joe Maphis' walk-on solo. They both rule ass!

[guitaaress]

That was definately Joe Maphis. No doubt about that. And the Fiddle player was "Fiddling Kate"

[dothejive]

I had the pleasure of meeting Wanda Jackson, as well as lucky enough to meet Ruth Brown and Janis Martin. Such fantastic girl singers. She is so great, and told me how fascinated she is by how so many young people enjoy her music and this Rockabilly scene happening in so many cities, with "kids rocking" she is great to watch and nice to talk to.

[saintsaens21]

She also looks so stunning!!

[tooyoung87]

cool video. I've heard this song sung by lou ann barton. I didn't know she sang it too.

[anthony19678]

that chick at the back what is she about dangling that stick

[Pulsatron1985]

She's holding a fiddle...?

[solarisqs]

yup, it's the bow, but you know a stick could be good

[calientida]

she still tours and is 71 years old..and will finally be inducted into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame in April..about time..

[drjohn187]

great to be the 13,333 viewer of this classic love her!!!!

[anthony19678]

she is a lady Elvis , top stuff well done luikk

[calientida]

she dated elvis too..hmmm maybe he picked up some things from her..lol

[d820m]

our wishes have somewhat come true...Ms. Jackson is a Rock and Roll Hall famer as an "Early Influence" .....she will go in @ the 2009 R&R HOF Ceremony along with Litte Anthony and The Imperials, Bobby Womack and others.....

[householdersss]

Holy Cow! Was that Joe Maphis?

[hudsonhigh2450]

Sure looks like Joe, with the double-neck. Thanks to whoever posted this! Musical history for sure. I hear she's still out there ....

[arriva424]

this is a very rare video indeed,you tube should begin archiving footage like this for future generations to make sure they are not lost,excellent thank you for posting!

[woodash1]

Agree 100%.

[leoseries]

I prefer the tempo of this to the recorded version.

[jrybiski]

Beyond hot - actually dangerous, and Wanda, just where did you get that dress?

[woodash1]

She should have to register at the local police department wherever she goes.

[teebeeferris]

was that Lou Ann Barton ????????? LOL

[mtedora]

OMG that's hot AND precious!!!

[habdon]

wanda what a doll.love her

[jennifer1975to4]

Love it!
