About Wanda Jackson
She was the first prominent female rockabilly and rock 'n' roll singer, best known for her songs"Tears Will Be the Chaser for Your Wine" and"Fancy Satin Pillows".
Wanda Lavonne Jackson is a retired American singer, songwriter, pianist and guitarist who achieved success in the mid-1950s and 1960s as one of the first famous rockabilly singers and pioneering rock and roll artist. She is known by many as "Queen of Rockabilly" or "First Lady of Rockabilly". Jackson combines country music with fast-paced rockabilly, often recording them on opposite sides of the record. When rockabilly declined in popularity in the 1960s, she began a successful career in mainstream country music with a string of hits from 1961 to 1973 including "Right or Wrong", "Tears Will Be the" Chaser for Your Wine "," A Woman Lives for Love "and" fancy satin pillows ". She made her famous comeback in the 1980s among European rockabilly revival fans and American youth. In 2009, she was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in the Early Impact category. On March 27, 2019, Jackson announced his retirement from the stage.
