Before the year ends I want to do a post to recognize that in 2009 Wanda Jackson—the "Sweet Lady with the Nasty Voice"—was finally inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. There has been a campaign over the last couple years, led by Elvis Costello, to see that she made it in, and it has finally happened.
The first female rockabilly star, here is my favorite Wanda Jackson song, "Hard Headed Woman".
Another early recording of "Sparklin' Brown Eyes".
A performance from 2008 of "Whole Lot a Shakin' Goin' On" and "Let's Have a Party".
For good measure, here is a short documentary where she describes her first appearance on the Grand Ole Opry.
