This has to be one of the classic performances of all time. Wanda absolutely tears it up, and it's a fabulous performance from the whole band - cracking guitar solo and the piano player smashes those keys to pieces. I've had to watch this six times in a row because it fills me with such joy.
I loved this analysis. This 60 yr old performance, her style, attitude, glam and fashion, still kicks butt today. Would love to see more talents of this level vs the auto tuned, over produced, over marketed pop stars we tend to get more of now.
Being a fan of rockabilly I have known her music from Way Way Back, as long as I can remember she has been called (Queen of Rockabilly). That's one hell of a career that she has had, and you are so very correct Fil of all the talent she has worked with over the years, amazing♡
I toured with my Identical twin brother for 35 years doing our original Contemporary Christian Music. In 1975 we were in concert with Wanda in West Memphis Arkansas, just across the Mississippi River from Memphis Tennessee. We were part of an Evanglistic crusade. Wanda and her husband Wendel Goodman booked us for serveral weeks in the Oklahoma City area where they lived. At the time I did not know much about Wanda, but she was so kind to my twin and I . - FLOYD
Wanda Jackson!!!!, a man after me own heart...great to see a person of your age recognizing all of these old great talents...a local band from my home town(that other London in Canada)went to Nashville and did an album with Wanda a few years ago, needles to say they were star strucked
Elvis recorded this composition by Claude Demetrius in January 1958 for the New Orleans-based setting of King Creole and the arrangement and driving force was present in his original, recorded before Wanda’s performance. Elvis also introduced hard-driving and “rockabilly” songs in the same manner,m.
What a great voice! I remember seeing her on TV growing up. Like you said mostly country shows around that time period. Would still Like to see her. What a time capsule she is having been around for the births of rockabilly and rock and roll. It would be a blast to hear stories about the early years with people like Joe Maphis, Roy Clark and Buck Owens not to mention Elvis Presley. Fantastic stuff Fil, great history lesson!
Hi Fil...Once again one from childhood..preteen years! You sure give me so much pleasure! Must share you with my 2 musicial kids...of course they are now 42, and 54, but their love of music endures! I had stacks of 45s playing all day long at my house! Do you ever tour America!?
Thanks, Fil. My head's still spinning from all the musical connections. Glad you'd just done the Joe Maphis analysis. When I first spotted the double-becked guitar I thought of Junior Brown! I'll certainly watch again just to remember all the music business history! Thanks, Wanda for trailblazing when I was only 7!
Whoo hoo! My favorite! I got in so much trouble when I was little teaching this song to my little friends on Sunday afternoon. Mom had to explain to me that not every song that mentions Biblical names is ok on Sundays, pretty much if you can sing Sweet Home Chicago or Traveling Band to the tune, Nana’s gonna be sure I was going to hell. I was sent outside to think up a new gospel song of my own, or an adaptation of one I had heard, to literally sing for my supper! The rest of the week I was the music teacher’s little Wanda, too much fun!
Love this! I was a little kid and loved this type of music, because I fell asleep in our house, across the Main Street from an R&B bar and stage. Just so happy to hear this!
The location where she's performing is Town Hall Party, which was broadcast from Compton California in the 50s. I wasn't into country so it never caught my eye as a pre-teen (my brother was 5 years older than I so I got into rock n roll on the ground floor). But I DO and DID remember hearing her back in the day (from radio) sing Fujiyama Mama and chased that 45 for YEARS. I did finally find it. Elvis sang Hard Headed Woman in King Creole. When I first saw a video from Town Hall Party I would search YT for other acts and few would come up. I see, a few years later (to now) that there are a bunch. They're all live performances, even if they aren't the best audio and visual recordings.
Thank you. That sound brought back some memories. Very popular in the dance halls when I was young. I also loved the piano playing in that piece. It brought back memories of one of my favourite teachers. One day at school in 1965 our music teacher was late for class and in walked our maths and tech teacher, he was also my rugby coach. He didn't say anything, just walked to the piano, sat down and started playing, and none of us had heard anything like it before. He started off with the Shoeshine Boy, left hand right down one end doing a rolling, tuneful, repeating bass beat, and the right hand at the high end really beating out a fast tune with some runs, he could've probably given Jerry Lee Lewis a run for his money, and then he went straight into the second tune that sounded very similar to this one. By the time he finished we were all out of our chairs standing around the piano, all totally enthralled. None of us knew he could play. We thought what we had just heard was something new. He told us that the music he had just played came from the mid 1920s, from the speakeasys during prohibition. He then broke it down in a similar way that you do and it was probably my most valuable school music lesson. He told us he was a jazz pianist and I've liked jazz and good improvisation music ever since.
Phil....you have a wonderful way with you...and I wish you success and happiness in all you do and life..thanks for giving the insights with such enthusiasm and obvious passion...your smile beams from your soul, just like the music you play...I am sure you will become a big trend on u tube, just keep being you and persistence will break down the doors of Jericho... Lots of love and light Peter x
What a zesty performance. She really knows how to ginger-up a song! What an amazing dynamo of a woman! A beautiful lilting accent too. You made an inspired choice to include her spoken intro Fil. Also, unlike most vocalists her accent is not half-subdued when singing,. As you know, dropping an accent often helps most singing, but wow! it works wonders for her. I marvel at how her performance is simultaneously raw, earthy & raunchy, yet with a graceful, sophisticated elegance. Can't you just feel the joy and energy AND SPIRITUALITY of the whole band? When a band has this much fun on stage, it is simply contagious. This inspired performance by the whole band must surely have had the audience spontaneously dancing like crazy, rising from their seats - and probably dancing on the tables too. An absolutely bloody stupendous piece of musical alchemy!! Good back-story as well. Thanks for this entertaining video, squire.
Wanda's been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Had a piece of her 70th birthday cake at the Cadillac Lounge in Toronto and saw her again last year. Obviously she's slowed down a little and had to do part of the show sitting down but the audience was in the palm of her hand - and no word of a lie - she blew everyone away with a crystal clear yodel. One of a kind - a trailblazer.
Saw her perform at the Grand Ole Opry 10+ years ago. Couldn't quite understand what made her so special... watching this video made it very clear. Thanks for sharing!
My wife and I walked into the Country Hall of Fame Museum(I think it's called) in Nashville, on my pilgrimage to the South twenty years ago. First thing I saw was a big screen with this girl doing that intro, I'd never seen her on screen before, but I knew what she was gonna do. I said to Jane, "she's gonna tear it up", I don't know how I knew that. But I'd loved her records from way before then. Man she was just the greatest thing.
I had the honour of been part of her band back in 1995, It was one of the highlights in my life as a musician. She is a lovely lady, so kind and sweet as well as a very good professional. She travelled with us in the same van, she shares with us lunch time... She was worry about our concerns and needs, I could say that she behaved as a mother to all of us (She was almost 60 and we were in our 20's)... In 2014 I had the chance to come to see her live, I had access to the backstage and she remembered me pretty well and was again so lovely and charming... She'll be a queen for ever, God bless her...
Wow!!! Great analysis on Wanda Jackson. Thanks for the history on her. A lot f fun with this video. I got a great laugh.. Don't remember her, so it was really fun to watch this.
I love this series! Not only do I get to learn more about an artist I thought I was familiar with, but I get to learn about more obscure artists like Wanda Jackson, who I've never heard of! Keep up the great work!
HI FIL. SHE PLAYED THAT LIKE CRAZY. SHE WAS HAVING FUN. THAT WAS GOOD. YOU DO A VERY GOOD JOB. LOVE YOUR VIDEOS. THANKS. GREAT SHOW. STAY SAFE OUT THERE .PEACE AND LOVE
Wanda is just amazing - what a trailblazer and an inspiration - I laughed out loud when I heard the grit and power in her voice after the gentle intro 😃thank you Fil - I just love listening to your analysis and so look forward to it - I’m learning so much about how to listen to voice and instrument through you - your observation is phenomenal - thank you for your passion for your professionalism and the joy you bring to all the genres of music you observe with so much wisdom and knowledge and with so much respect...
What a fun video! I had not heard of her, but was searching for female country singers to put on an Alexa playlist and found her, and then your channel. Nice!
I so appreciate the history of the artist/artists on your reviews..You explain it clearly & a pleasure to listen to. Your music critique is great, of course. I like you digging back to such old recordings up to present day..She was not only fun & a live wire, she was very beautiful..and in 1958? Holy Crap, brave girl who was raised up instilled with the values of strength, perseverance & encouragement. Her father must have been a swell fellow indeed.
You absolutely amaze me with the amount of research you do and the knowledge you have on each of your videos. I have heard Wanda Jackson's name before but I had never seen one of her videos, I certainly never knew all of this information about her! And it took a Brit to tell me lol. I have no problem with that. Keep up the great work, I appreciate all of your videos.
She is sassy, funny, very personable...a real firecracker! And back then, she had natural-looking, flowing, gorgeous hair in a style that would look good even by today's standards, as well as being very pretty!.I can see why Elvis had to get a lot closer to her! She seems like she would be a BLAST to see in concert. And, best of all, she wasn't at all shy to show people that, not only could she play and sing, but she also was unafraid to be a bold, assertive, sexy woman! RRRRRrrrrroooowwwwrrrrrr! Hahaha! If I would have been around way back then, she would have been on MY list of crushes, that's for sure! I just love a woman who isn't afraid to be whatever and whoever she wants to be, and not just a Nashville-packaged, big-hair, demure, background kind of singer--which was pretty much par for the course back then. This girl in the video was just like you, Fil: she had wings! Go Wanda!!!
I was 4 y/o when this video was made....I've been exposed to "country music" growing up yet I don't think I've ever heard of Wanda Jackson! Tho Buck Owens...huge! Conway Twitty was very popular around "my parts" (Miss. delta) when I was a kid. He was my mom and dad's favorite. One of their memorable dates was to see Conway Twitty and I think a very "new" Elvis Presley (!) fronting Conway! I swear Fil, you must have a huge following in the USA for the music you cover. It's so refreshing to hear your take on all this music from my childhood and beyond. It's such a treat! You'd have been fun to pal around with in the 60's and 70's. But maybe you'd not have this perspective you share now! Many thanks! Also your take on Wanda's style which must have been a bit risque at the time. Have you ever seen Minnie Pearl?....she was a hoot!
Phil (Fil?) just want to say Thank You! You have love and respect for every style (how do I spell genre?) and are a sincere fan. Your youth doesn’t interfere with your attitude. You might say “Rock” but I say God Bless!
Wanda is STILL TOURING at 80, or so now! I saw her on;y 3 years ago and she was just as epic as ever!
Steve Bass Id love to see her!
Saw her several yrs back at a festival in p-cola. Great story teller and alot of fun. Headliners Cake and Janes Addiction. Good time.
@@augustwest2408 oh that's perfect!
Haha cool!
I saw her with Jack White in LA and it was awesome! She was 80 and could still rock!
Wings of Peg sharing another hidden gem that I would never experience otherwise. The expert analysys is the cherry on top of the musical sundae.
Thanks!

Those country players were some party animals! They jammed and partied like rock stars.👍😎🤘

The piano player is killing it.
Kind of music that never grows old.
🤘🤘🤘 great blues 🤘🤘🤘
bless the queen wanda 🤘
pure history👍🤘rock

She's fabulous. She has broken down many barriers for women and man... I do love rockabilly. I still love it.
I saw her in Nashville in 2012. Wanda walks out grabs the audience and blasts, that’s fifty years after this video.
Thanks, Fil. My head's still spinning from all the musical connections. Glad you'd just done the Joe Maphis analysis. When I first spotted the double-becked guitar I thought of Junior Brown! I'll certainly watch again just to remember all the music business history! Thanks, Wanda for trailblazing when I was only 7!
Cool!
That's the very first double neck electric guitar, built by Mosrite guitars, Semie Moseley in 1956.
Whoo hoo! My favorite! I got in so much trouble when I was little teaching this song to my little friends on Sunday afternoon.

She was special in rock n roll. Many didn't like her because they didn't think she was lady like.

Playing guitar, singing, and dancing...in high heels. Impressive.
that was my thought too!!! :-)
Wanda did it 1st.

What a riot ... she is tearing it up! I am officially binge-watching your videos.

I always loved the way she pronounced MAY-yunn.
Your knowledge of so many types of music is very impressive. I really love your videos.
Thanks!
I had the same silly grin on my face the first time I saw a Wanda Jackson video. Holy smoke, she really had it all together.
I saw Wanda Jackson perform twice, and I’m here to tell you…NO ONE puts on a show like Wanda! 👍👍👍👍
My favorite hit she came out with was "I love rock and roll" when she was with the blackhearts.
Back to school, John.
😂
Phil, I'm glad you knew I was joking! 😂
What I think is..."Outa Sight" old hippie phrase....you're a wonderful historian friend....

I saw here with Jack White about 8 years ago. She was 80 years old and could still rock and sing!! It was an amazing show.
How wonderful ! Never heard of her! But thanks to another great analysis by you I do now! She’s awesome! Such energy!
Thanks, Fil. I heard Wanda as a kid growing up in the 50's but knew very little about her. She was fearless.
Had some 45s of her but never saw her play before...wow. Just wow. Hawt.
She's a lil Spit Fire !! Some cool Rockabilly !!

I love that she did gospel. She sure has the Spirit with her!
Joe Maphis on guitar! I saw Joe's son Jody playing drums for the Earl Scruggs Revue back in the mid 70's.
Now this frickin rocks! I am going to have to buy some of this for my upcoming road trip.
Wow!!! Great analysis on Wanda Jackson. Thanks for the history on her. A lot f fun with this video. I got a great laugh.. Don't remember her, so it was really fun to watch this.

Hiya Fil great video. I bought a few of Wandas LP's in the 60's. Capital label. Been a fan of hers ever since, she's a great singer.
As always it’s so interesting to listen to you and your knowledge of American music. Thanks for sharing
No problem!
Great sound and energy!! “Girls don’t sell records”😂. Again another great analysis; I know just about everything about Wanda Jackson now🤘🏻

I'd never noticed her. Great find. Thanks for sharing it.

Wow, what a voice and what a mover!
👍
Thanks and I'm glad you enjoyed music from a real Queen. She's still playing.
Great history lesson on Wanda. I was introduced to her while listening to Rosie Flores. Rosie kind of took over Rockabilly. But Wanda was an original.
What a fun video! I had not heard of her, but was searching for female country singers to put on an Alexa playlist and found her, and then your channel. Nice!
Great video of Wanda and really enjoyed the history you shared! Robert Smyth suggested your site.
Thanks Ruth!
Good morning Sunday! No need for coffee now 🎸👍✌️

1958,USA....glorious times!
I can't believe I've never heard of her! Thanks for bringing artists like this to our attention. Great background story again!👍😎🎸🎶

There's a video of a television performance from the early 60s where you can clearly see Glenn Campbell playing guitar in the background.
She is sassy, funny, very personable...a real firecracker!

Never heard of her, which is amazing in it's self. But damn I'm glad I did, crazy how Fil finds these hidden gems, ROCK.
Why am I not surprised Elvis dated her . Brilliant !
Another wonderful artist I haven't heard of. She's great!
👍
There will only ever be ! Wanda Jackson! WILD!
Oh man, she is sooo cool. This is the FIRST i hear of her. I feel so cheated by music media. thanks to you Fil.
Wow...what a rocker she is! Never seen her before! She really blew me away Fil...bloody awesome! Great analysis Fil! Cheers Mario!😀😀🤘🤘🤘
Thanks Mario!
ps - Thanks for knowing the background of these artists, you've obviously have done your due diligence. Very impressive!
No problem!
Go go! Go Wanda go!

and if you get to Maud Oklahoma, the mainstreet is Wanda Jackson Blvd...cool

Hi Fil. You really do your homework on the artists. Wonderful job you do.

Ranch Party filmed in Los Angeles in the 50s. The "King of the Strings" Joe Maphis on the double neck Mosrite guitar. Wanda is fantastic.
A thorn in the side of a "may-annn". ♥️
