Hollywood Legends Who are Still Alive and Making Magic
Wanda Jackson – 83 Years Old
Wanda Jackson is affectionately known as The First Lady of Rockabilly. She is one of the pioneers of rock n roll, mixing her country roots with rockabilly to create up-tempo guitar-driven songs. She is also a multi-instrumentalist who played the piano as well.
Her most successful period came in the ’50s and ’60s, but as rockabilly suffered a decline in popularity, she turned to country, scoring a string of hits with songs like Right or Wrong, Tears Will Be the Chaser for Your Wine, and Fancy Satin Pillows. She retired in 2019, two years after losing her husband of 56 years.
