abstract	Wanda Lavonne Jackson (born October 20, 1937) is an American rockabilly and country music singer who had success in the mid-50s and the 60s. She was one of the first female rockabilly singers to come to popularity during the 1950s. Jackson began her professional career while she was still in high school after being discovered by Hank Thompson in 1954. From there, she pursued a lifelong career in country and rockabilly music. Unlike her counterpart, Janis Martin, who quit the music business after getting married, Jackson decided to keep working. She mixed regular country music material with fast-moving rockabilly music, often cutting each side of a record with a different type of music. As Rockabilly began to decline in popularity by the mid-1960s, Jackson moved to a successful career in regular country music, having a string of hits between 1966 and 1973, including, "Tears Will Be the Chaser for Your Wine," "The Box it Came in," "My Big Iron Skillet," and "Fancy Satin Pillows." She will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame May 4, 2009.
