Not sure how I managed to go more than 50 years having never hear of Wanda Jackson until today.
hear=heard
She floated on the edge and then deep into country for a good bit of her mainstream career.
And then she sang gospel.
And then she got on the rockabilly revival circuit in Europe and the States.
None of these genres are given much play by People, Us, Rolling Stone, Spin, Good Morning America, Tonight Show...
There are a lot of “unsung heroes of rock and roll”.
Doesn’t mean that they don’t have followings, just that they are not in the Dick Clark/Bill Graham/Jann Wener Presents history of music post-1955.
