Description: | While the names of Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins and
Jerry Lee Lewis come quickly to mind when thinking
of the original rockabilly greats, there were also
several girls who were rocking it with the boys, such
as the great Wanda Jackson and Janis Martin. A
Virginia native, Martin made a fistful of great rocking
records that showed off her excellent voice and
spunky enthusiasm to their best advantage. Presley
and RCA were so impressed with Martinâ??s stage
presence that they dubbed her â??the Female Elvisâ?
for her dance moves on stage. Presley sent a dozen
red roses to her when she appeared at the RCA
Victor convention in Miami, Florida, and Colonel
Tom Parker, Elvisâ?? manager, offered to take over her
management seeing the potential of a successful
double â??boygirlâ? bill, an offer which wasnâ??t accepted
by Martinâ??s parents. Her first and biggest hits were
â??Drugstore Rock and Rollâ? (selling some 750,000
copies) and the equally vibrant â??My Boy Elvisâ?
