220 Janis Martin (1940-2007) “Drugstore Rock ‘n Roll” 1956

“The singer was a teenager from Virginia who had been christened by RCA music producers as a female Elvis. Her name was Janis Martin and she went on to appear at the Grand Ole Opry, American Bandstand and the Tonight Show. But Martin's fame was short lived. The teenager got married and had a baby, which didn't sit so well with the people managing her career” (Weekend Edition Sunday NPR, 9/30/12).
