Oklahoma City Mayor Mick Cornett declared today “Wanda Jackson Day” in Oklahoma City this morning at the city council meeting.
The Oklahoman’s Assistant Entertainment Editor George Lang was at the meeting this morning when the big day was announced. Click here to read his story.
Jackson, a Maud native who lives in Oklahoma City, will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on April 4 in Cleveland, Ohio. The Queen of Rockabilly and First Lady of Rock ‘n’ Roll is quite deserving of the long-overdue recognition.
It’s an obvious comment, but I think the title of Jackson’s biggest rock hit is the appropriate for today: “Let’s Have a Party.”
-BAM
