Thank you for Wanda. I'm not sure if this is Wanda before she got the bit between her teeth at Capitol Records. According to Nick Tosches in his book "Unsung Heroes of Rock 'n' Roll", Wanda showed herself to be one of the most exceptional rock 'n' roll stylists of her or any other day. Her voice, a wild-fluttering thing of sexy subtleties and sudden harshness, feral feline purrings and raving banshee shriekings, was a vulgar wonder to hear. She was a girl who could growl and furthermore she was the only girl who could hold her own with the big guys of rock 'n' roll's golden era - as her 1955-6 tour with Elvis and her 57 tour with Jerry Lee and Carl Perkins attested. Many of her Capitol sides were fast, loud songs of ambivalent carnality. Not even twenty years old at that point, Wanda sounded like she could fry eggs on her mons veneris. That's terstimonial enough, doncha think. Grind on Ms Jackson.
