A Country Girl's Journey to the Rock Roll Hall of Fame

When you think of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, what image comes to your mind? Perhaps it's the iconic guitar-shaped building in Cleveland, Ohio, or maybe it's the legendary musicians who have been inducted over the years. But what if I told you that behind the scenes, there is a story of a country girl who defied all odds and made her mark in the rock and roll world?

Meet Emily Johnson, a small-town girl with big dreams. Growing up in a rural community in the heartland of America, Emily's love for country music was instilled in her from a young age. She would spend hours listening to classic country records with her father, dreaming of the day when she would be able to share her own music with the world.

But as Emily got older, her tastes began to expand beyond country. She found herself drawn to the rebellious spirit of rock and roll, the raw energy that seemed to fill the air whenever a guitar riff was played. Inspired by the likes of Elvis Presley, Janis Joplin, and Johnny Cash, she decided to take a leap of faith and pursue a career in rock and roll.

Wanda Jackson's debut single, "You Can't Have My Love," reached the Top 10 while she was still a sixteen-year-old high school student. She hit the road after graduation, playing package shows with Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Elvis Presley, who gave Wanda his ring and asked her to be "his girl." With Presley's encouragement, the Oklahoma native began recording rock music, often releasing singles with country on one side and rock on the other during her decade-and-a-half tenure on Capitol Records.

Known for her energetic stage shows and pioneering presence as a female artist, Wanda stormed the charts with a series of hit singles, including "Let's Have a Party," "Right or Wrong," and "In the Middle of a Heartache." With more than 40 albums to her credit, Wanda has proven to be an enduring and genre-defying legend of American music.

In Every Night is Saturday Night, Wanda tells her own story of getting discovered by Country Music Hall of Famer Hank Thompson; shy she refused to return to The Grand Ole Opry for more than fifty years; the challenges she and her integrated band, The Party Timers, faced in the early 1960s; finding the love of her life; her recent work with rock luminaries Jack White and Joan Jett; and how her deep faith has sustained her over more than seven decades of rocking, shocking, and thrilling audiences around the globe.
