221 Janis Martin (1940-2007) “Will You Willyum” 1956

“when Elvis is really coming into his own…she had already been honing her craft since she was about 6, so she was already being kind of a hillbilly-bop, rockabilly girl before the term was actually even there. And when she came along and she had this jump, bop, wiggle and shake stage presence...and a great voice - she was already doing it before she ever met [Presley]” (Weekend Edition Sunday NPR, 9/30/12).
