215 Wanda Jackson (1937- ) “I Gotta Know” 1956

“I began working with Elvis in '55 after I graduated from high school. We were boyfriend and girlfriend… He thought I should start doing this new music because he was just starting to really get big. I said, ‘I don't think I can do that because I'm just a country singer.’ He said, ‘Well, I am too basically, but I think … it's going to be the next really big music.’ Well, how right he was… It was through his encouragement that I got into rock ‘n’ roll music and daddy agreed with him thoroughly” (Brutarian Quarterly, 2002).
