Wanda Jackson - Hard Headed Woman

[pamisterios]

this girl ruled. she was really great!!

[RickGibbonsOfficial]

Not only does this girl got a great voice, rocks well, but is most fuckable. Too bad she never got more famous.

[tippimail1]

I've listened to Wanda since the '50's.Back then she was known as the female Elvis Presley.Killer singer,band and song!Wanda rocks!!!!!

[oopsadaze]

Great Performance-I Don't Think Enough People know about Wanda Jackson-WOW!

[stlgtrace]

Wanda is HOT!!!!!!!!!!!

[Sc0teeBe318]

I would marry this woman! She rocks, has an amazing personality, and is a real knock out! This was in the days when women were women. Curvy, big curly hair, sexy skirts, and no ribs showing through!

[ugroseno]

i don't know who's first, but i heard wanda's version first than elvis

[Petemonster62]

She plays hot, sings hot, & looks hot!!!!!!

[haulofrecords]

Joe Maphis playing his double neck Mosrite guitar.

[kerjan1]

rockin

[faaradar]

Check out that guys guitar . That was 1958!

[NaTi74100]

Very,very cool!!!!:)



[FatherCoughlin]

Wanda is still touring and kickin ass at almost 80!

[VeranzaTheKing]

@FatherCoughlin That's an awesome thing! :)

[cherrybomb2600]

Let's go again, yeah!

I saw her in concert last summer - so fun!

[wrightonman]

DAMN GIRL!!!! Woo...love her!

[79goldmaster1]

female Elvis!

[clintbonita]

Wanda is just awesome!

[williamradge]

so good i had to play it twice again. that's pretty

[Informed104]

I'm taking a cold shower. Feminine, funny, flirty, in heels and knee-length dress, dancing with a big dreadnought guitar. How's that possible?

Not a single bimbo from the last 30 years can match that today. Today we get blond, substance-abusive bimbos that shave their heads/crotch, put the latter on display for all to see, and fall drunk out of their limos. Not a single one of them can even wear her heels. Everything about her screams rock and roll. My hat is off.

[dcgilleland]

@Informed104 Potna...She learned the "growl" from "The Cline", Patsy Cline that is. NO ONE WILL EVER TOP PATSY! Don't get me wrong, Wanda was tough!

[Khultan]

@dcgilleland They're two different kinds of music/singing. And, it's a matter of opinion.

[Bowser1948]

On here if you search" Imelda may" and wanda jackson you will see Wanda still rockin in 2010 doing this number with .i'm bound to say ..better musicians

[thisreefaroundme]

@Bowser1948

No one is better than Joe Maphis! 

[nomorecoolones]

when women were femine and though at the same time. Not like todays fuckin bitches!

[comicozy87]

I'm trying to learn the solo in this. It sounds great, but the only problem is the finger picking.

[BrunoEspo]

she is a LOOKER boy

[lund6565]

That was a great video to see , This is ROOTS !!!!!!

[Tweety81963]

I was named after this woman..My parents LOVED some Wanda Jackson! No wonder I love to sing!! :)

[Beamer525]

They don't make women like Wanda anymore...it's so sad to realize that...

[ariadne2956]

she s the best

[Nickie0016]

GREAT!!!!!

[divagurl80]

That Lady Can Sing <3

[juan58102]

She is single? Be quiet Juan..

[leaveblank]

SHE Still ROCKS! :)) HELL YEAHHH!!!

[toxiclittlebitch]

Love this hard headed woman right here...it dont get better than her.

[jasoncuebas]

FUUUCK YEAH!!!

[wolfwomon9]

So I read one of your comments that stated Wanda "was" hot. She still is hot! I am a Gen. Xer and have seen many talented, beautiful women live-ie. Signe Anderson, Grace Slick, Debbie Harry, Chrissie Hynde, Joan Jett, Pat Benatar, Brenda Lee, Loretta Lynne-but Wanda reigns. She exudes mucho charisma and fun. She also screams, growls, and yodels like no other and she will soon be 74!!!!

[lulu66033]

Mercy!

[TheCINDYBATES]

Thankyou for sharing this video! Great!

Sincerely,

Cindy Bates

Hutto, Tx

[TheMickives]

WOW !!!! WOW did i say WOW!!.what a dish,and to think what was expected of women in this era.i dont think she bakes but this little honey cooks WOW!!!

[stepitupandgo67]

totally badass



[MrRifleman270]

the 13 dislikes must be queers or maybe a bunch of coon lovers.

[JerryTKangaroo]

13 People DON'T LIKE THIS. What the hell is wrong with you?

[DavidVOJr]

whoa, cool voise. that kicked ass man. she's even better today on her third man stuff. had no idea they had double neck guitars back then

[shirtshine73blitz]

@DavidVOJr I believe thats Joe Maphis playing his doubleneck made by Semie Moseley. The maker of the Mosrite guitar.

[Bumptiously]

@shirtshine73blitz Thanks!!! I was dying to find out who in the wide world could that incredible guitar player be? His unexpected runs come out of nowhere, all ethereal, and then continue spinning past the moon....his Travis picking has this kind of churning swinging almost syncopated feel with a gutpunch in the bass strings. Until now, I thought Joe Maphis was just a speed-aholic overplaying note diarrhea kind of mess. How wrong can one person be?

[DougPatton1]

Today's junk-media mugs patronised and brainwashed to believe that explicit Sex Facts & Rock n Roll began at dawn on Jan 1 1960 ! WTF?

[MiZzB0NEz]

You people are foolish. The truth is that poor country people of all races picked cotton. My grandma is "white" & she and her family picked cotton. It's was job for poor people who didn't have options to do other things. Johnny Cash picked cotton, too. Do a little research before you mouth off on the internet. If you don't like this song for whatever reason, move the fuck on.

[critchley3819]

@MiZzB0NEz Well I aint picked no cotton, but I sure as hell know how to pick a fool.

[goducks20101]

Wicked.

[Weimowner8]

Just awesome!

[StruulePeeta]

Well, after all, she did have a fling with Elvis. She's the best. I'm lucky to have seen her at Maxwell's a few years back. Still on tour now! Right on Wanda! Thanks for posting this video.

[fmikael1]

1:24 "Keep your cotton picking fingers outta my curly hair" ... wow that was a racist reference... it was a  different time i guess

[holmsatlarge]

@fmikael1 "Samson told Delilah,loud and clear, keep your cotton picking fingers outta my curly hair!"It`s a bible reference not racial.Or are you suggesting Samson was Nubian?

[justrunningscared]

@fmikael1 I don't think it's likely to be racist in intent. "Cotton picking" is a phrase used instead of "Goddamn" because the latter is considered blasphemous. Samson and Delilah are biblical characters. Delilah cut off his hair which caused him to lose his strength.

[fmikael1]

@justrunningscared and @holmsatlarge. I quite frankly think that it was racist. Wanda Jackson came from Oklahoma which was in her time extremely racist, although Delilah being called a cotton picker is irrelevant in the context of this song, the term cotton picker is a derogatory term for black's.

[hannahpaslabanane]

Just saw her in concert last night.

[Screep55]

Thiss is soooooooooooooooooooooo old school. But i like it :D

[EPFstrength5]

So sexy

[MrJackwhiteIII]

wanda jackson + jack white = THE BEST DAY EVER!!!!!!!!!!

[porkpiepaul]

Is that Junior Brown on the Guit-fiddle?

[Ecosse57]

real music. a real woman.

*sigh*

[MindfullMonster]

is it just me or does the fiddle play look like a creepy walkung doll??

[priapus56]

I bet SHE didn't do the washing up around her joint...

[TATER1971]

That. Kicked. Ass.

[FLASHBOY41]

Wow i love her voice and her style she know how to rock the hell of a song!

[realself1]

Wow! Like.

[week1productions]

I want that double-necked guitar. So much.

[skyChief100]

12 people broke the head at birth

[KoukiKid]

thats music.

[shesdwellingwithin]

Queen of Rockabilly

[ariadne2956]

Who is the woman with the fiddle? I have seen her in other videos with Wanda. Can anyone tell me about her?

[WikidAztecBeauty]

this is what i call music

[33smokechic]

hell yea!!! rock and sexiness all wrapped into one!!!!!!

[Odin029]

I feel kinda sorry for the guys in the band.. they are hopeless to keep up. This woman is trying to Rock... She was ahead of her time for sure.

[EmGloss]

Is it safe to assume this woman could kick all of our asses if the situation called?

[bertrandui]

I love this video. It s really crazy because she was so cute and sang pure wild rock and roll with elvis influences. Look this eyes and his mouth when she sing here it s really like Elvis at the same period. She was influenced by him like lot of singers but with her it s very sexy!!

[justinyeyah]

12 hard headed women watched this

[CrypticAngel92]

I LOVE her voice!

[tishhead]

Good lord. i didn't think they let them televise anything this hot in the 50s.

[57IAM]

@tishhead i was 6 when this came out and i still remember rockin' to it. Still rocking, but now to jack white and robert plant and who else? Muse, Metallica and a.c.d.c. Keeps you young and fit. I work out to this stuff 3 times a week, which is why I'm in excellent shape. THE LOUDER THE BETTER.

[Kaepora27]

@tishhead

jajajajajaj xD



[prettyxugly]

she is such a badass.

[seifukusha]

I need a woman like this!

[melneey]

Heard this on "Nowhere Boy" and HAD to track it down!

[eldude1999]

She is smooooking hot!! =)

[Pinwormx]

Awesome!!!

[Suel14]

pure rock n roll (full stop)

[Svourdroculed]

um...this is sexy

[LORRIEVIVALASVEGAS]

Lov`n Miss Wanda!!!!

[birdstuckinchimney]

x49SLrXQkUo

[birdstuckinchimney]

FUCK YEA!!!

She reminds me of Kitty from "Kitty Daisy and Lewis". What's more...the piano player is the spitting image of Lewis.

[03ellifan]

@birdstuckinchimney I thought that, too!

[TONYSPURSMAN]

GREAT

[44zbyszek]

Piękna Wanda i stary dobry rock and roll

[Txboy85A]

The guy with the horn needs to can it! I love her voice! Incredibly hot. But yeah- the horn player was just so cheesy , doesn't match up with her hard vocals and driving rhythm guitar.

[judyjahn]

sounds like she took a little from Blue suede shoes

[i3u7n5]

@judyjahn Blue Suede Shoes is standard 3 bar blues style as is this tune..no borrowing or taking aside from the original black musicians it was lifted from

[brianemc]

I have often heard that Wanda Jackson is the only female artist that the Legendary Patsy Cline admired! And by watching this I can see why! WOW ! she is on Fire!!!

[mcscave]

and I thought janis joplin was the first woman to be that tough. I was wrong.

[03ellifan]

How can 11 people not like this?

[darcass69]

Time to Mosh pit, wall of death or something !!

[canut20]

superrrrrrrrr  l'Elvis au féminin...

[MsNikki11]

Now! I finally understand the "growl".

[MrJerry1566]

NOW THATS WHAT YOU CALL COUNTRY MUSIC TOO BAD REAL COUNTRY MUSIC IS GONE

[meirina100]

this pretty lady did it with high heels!

[TheLonesomeEchoesite]

Rock and Roll

[PestControl02]

lol..great song!

[1wolfiesLady]

It was actually elvis who introduced her to rock :) x and now she's queen of rockabilly :D

[MartinLeMalin]

Great ! Just great ! ... What a treat if she could have sung that with Elvis ! ...

[ToughByrd]

i'm only 13, i was a HUGE rockabilly fan when i was 8, so my dad took me to the hootenanny in '06... Wanda Jackson was my favorite singer at the time... i saw her live!!! it was amazing!! she puts on a great show with her pink sparkly guitar! lol... she still sounds as though she's 20

[SlaveToLilith666]

Im 18 & I LOVE!!!!!!! Rockabilly. Wnda ROCKS!!!!

[shegecco]

hell yeah!!!!

[dirtygore]

only found out about this women a few days ago and so glad i did.

[peterwratten]

It's not hard to tell why she was Elvis' girlfriend when they were young!!!!!

[searcherboy]

Country, rock, rockabilly, blues, boogie-woogie, some jazz licks - this song pretty much has it all.

[amandavantassel]

My new heroine!

[doobiebrother67]

Out rocks Elvis big time.  Bonus points for the double neck guitar!

[PavilionPlaza209]

I'm 45 and I never heard of her before, I just wondering around on the unpopular AM radio Channel's in Sydney Australia & I heard this woman singing Shakin' All Over & I fought it was a young lady in a new band singing & the Radio said go on YouTube & type in Wanda Jackson on Letterman & there was this old lady singing it.

[tcw00]

He is playing the hell out of that piano

[SOHASDEAD]

I LOVE how she performs! Wanda never fails me!

[LillyBunnyBoo]

THE FIRST HARDASSED FEMALE ROCKER, BAR NONE! LOVE YOU, GIRL!!!

[jeannieby]

[dfree08]

[rockabillygirl77]

[realpqleur]

Elvis loved her....

[jairywhorer]

Ohhh my ghawd!... Wanda is totally the Queen of Rockabilly, for sure. Her voice gives me chills, everytime i listen to her voice. Love ya Wanda<3

[nagaslrac]

Just saw Ms. Jackson on Conan and she said Elvis was a good kisser so I thought I'd look her up. Certainly did not expect this from that elderly, tiny lady. I love surprises.

[rhcp484]

@nagaslrac ahahaahahah, same here!! i love conan for actually booking kick ass musical guests.

[NeonIQ1809]

i originally heard this song when elvis sang it, and i enjoyed it, but now that i hear this version, deng! Ms. Jackson is amazing!

[chicagoSUGANO]

Wow what a FOX, and she doesn't need to expose herself, like  the music fluzzies of today.

[rhcp484]

@chicagoSUGANO YEAH!! thats what im talking about!!!

[chicagoSUGANO]

@rhcp484 If you love & appreciate Ms. Wanda Jackson, YOU  GOT GREAT TASTE!

[rhcp484]

@chicagoSUGANO ahahahah, hell yeah man. i like to think i do.

this is what real rock and roll is all about right here.

[SpiritGirlSF]

Check out that dress and OMG those heels! Hard Rockin Woman and in those heels I have to admire her for that!

[dav01kar]

great rockin lady, but sorry janis martin was the female elvis.

[GooseHinson]

I was just rocking to this song while listening to this the first time. Didn't expect this at all.

[32a34a]

She is easily the queen of Rock and Roll. Wanda broke

so many barriers for women.

[plwblj]

mighty bo young on youtube Baby lets play HOUSE:

Bo With You 1.4.11 "Speak Up Jam"

[spayspay]

Wow, this is so bad ass. Her vocals are VICIOUS.

[yrmop]

@spayspay Ouais, elle fait bien vicieuse, sure, une sacrée vraie femme!

[cuongoff]

@spayspay she sounds almost the same 50 years later



[KnightOneDark]

@spayspay Excellent word choice.

[ensconse]

Oh man, I like this better than Elvis'! (Did I say that?).

[sunrecords56]

I'd have loved to see this sweet thing done up in todays fashions she'd stop traffic for miles.

[cooparizona1]

Great stuff.



[rockrussell444]

First heard of her a couple weeks ago-saw her a couple days ago on Letterman!she's a bad ass!Until Stevie Nicks's new cd comes out,I might have to go out and get Wanda's new cd!

[ibelee59]

[rainonariver]

Get her new Album!!! It is Sweet!

[pjdance]

New Album! She is the Queen! Taylor, Parabore, Avirl they don't even know who she is. Which explains why their music sucks.

[sunrecords56]

A Woman who knew how to Rock before they were allowed...

[chocodansaya]

[KronsteinA]

Я бы ей вдул.

[ELVIS4221]

[starqz]

I can't believe my ex-boyfriend actually KNOWS her, holy crap!

[antongardner2]

not many convincing female rock'n'roll performers.... but she is most definitely one.

[bambi3331]

[HardGalFeDead]

a hard headed woman is a thorn in a side of a man ;)

[loungelizard5000]

@quadropheniac1973 You are welcome. I forgot to say that if you look at one of The Pleasure Seekers vids here on Youtube, it says they were posted by Quatrorock. Go to their page and it has all the info and website address etc.

[loungelizard5000]
