Wanda Jackson (born October 20, 1937, Maud, Oklahoma, U.S.) is an American country singer who also achieved substantial success in rock and roll and earned the sobriquet “the Queen of Rockabilly.” Jackson began singing on a daily Oklahoma City radio show in 1952, when she was still in high school.

- “Hard-Headed Woman” Jackson showed her sense of humor as she introduced this fierce rocker during a 1958 appearance on California’s Town Hall PartyTV show, calling the tune “one of the most beautiful love songs that’s ever been written.”
- “Shakin’ All Over” Bridesmaidsfans might know this rollicking rocker and its unusual fits and starts from the film’s closing credits. A 1960 U.K. Number One for Johnny Kidd and the Pirates, Jackson featured it on her 30th studio LP, The Party Ain’t Over, a 2011 collaboration with producer Jack White.
- “Let’s Have a Party” Although her former beau Elvis Presley had recorded this song before Jackson, the singer only knew it through fellow Town Hall Partyperformers Larry and Lorrie Collins.
- “Pick Me Up on Your Way Down” Jackson’s flamethrower of a rock & roll voice could also belt out pure, passionate honky-tonk as in the case of this acerbic Harlan Howard tune that had been a huge hit for Charlie Walker in 1958.
