@@georgerandall5686 yeh, much better to be a self-contradictory conservatidiot. The founding fathers were trying to be the most progressive rationalists possible. Conserve wut?
See these performers while you can. Wanda was 74 here - that's how old Stevie Nicks is right now, and she's on tour. You never know when they're gonna stop.
Yeah, Jack is a gift to the world of rock and roots music. He’s an archivist, producer, arranger and here, a supporter of older performers. He’s kind of an old soul I think.
This was the only historic Late Show event in the many years Letterman was on. Wanda Jackson is a true performer and Jack White is a powerhouse talent and a stand up gentleman.
What I really like about Jack White; is that he always focuses on making sure that the composition of a piece works well for what it’s supposed to for it’s creative execution of direction and not care about being in the spot-light; rather, being an excellent backing support member. The guy is a true artist and musician.
I saw her a few years ago and Lemmy from Motorhead had requested a song. she said, "This next song is for Lenny, from Motor..what ?". He just laughed. I'm glad people like Lemmy , Jack White and David Letterman still remember who the real rock royalty is. Wanda is the queen.
Of _course_ Jack is a showman...he's fucking unbelievable at it. But he also, knows how to assert himself within music itself. He knows when to push and when to pull. And this performance exemplifies that skill Jack has obviously honed...because it's his life's passion. If only any of us could be that lucky. And yeah...this whole video is killer all around...not just for Jack, but for the entire band, and equally to Wanda alone. If you just released this song, without the video, a _lot_ of people would think it was some truly cool new artist. Her voice is cutting and haunting and sarcastic and sincere all at once. I love it.
Wanda rules! she's been rockin' since the mid-50's, went on tour and dated Elvis, and shouldve been bigger in this country than she was! and she's a total sweetheart in person. keep it up Wanda!!!
I never used to be a fan of Jack white, however the stuff he's being doing over the last couple of years/Blue/cayan/ rockabilly is great..long live Jack White !
Is there anything that Jack White touches that doesn't "rock" I'd never heard of Wanda Jackson before this now I can't get enough. The work he did with Tim Eriksen on the Cold Mountain introduced me to two whole genres of music and guys like Riley Bagus... the guy is a true musical genius.
I saw Wanda Last year, and she was awesome!! I was prepared to see her and think "isnt she a cute little old lady" and "hey I got to see a legend" She was amazing. This performance pales in comparison to what I saw her do on stage. She did her older songs, that i listened to with my grandparents while i was growing up, and new stuff that was fantastic. Thank you Jack White for bring her back for the younger generation.
My favorites are the PBS specials...particularly the doo wop shows. People in their 70s, 80s, and early 90s, still singing right on the note, doing the steps...dressed in real stage clothes. Glad that Jack is celebrating this legend.
Wanda attended my church quite often when I was a teen in the 70s. I didn't know her history. So sad I did not get to know her. She was very friendly. Jack White is a class act that understands, values, and honors our music history! This was a fantastic RU-vid find!
The sheer number of negative comments are a sad indicator of how far we've fallen in our society and musically. This performance should be appreciated by everyone. Awesome.
I was DELIGHTED when I found out that Wanda had recorded fresh, new 'Devil's Music' at 70! She was still really hot, too. That's what happens when you lead a decent, amazing life and don't turn your body into a Chem Lab!
not only lyrics and music, but passion and a capacity to perform in the moment without being concerned with anything other than being awesome and kicking ass. never heard of wanda jackson before, but she's a badass in my book now that i've seen this.
It's not in my nature to put any song on repeat, no matter how much I love it. I played this 3 full times, partly in honor of Jack and partly because I just couldn't help myself. I don't believe I've seen Dave so excited about the musicians on his show, lol. And, enough of this crap, Jack and Wanda are both legends in their own right, and they were clearly honored to be performing with each other. Let's just dig the music, because that's what it's all about, guys.
Maybe not Wanda's best performance, but I have so much respect for this Woman! I saw her live a number of years ago in Toronto. It was such an honour meeting this lady. She was doing Rockabilly the same time as Elvis. One of the first ladies of ROCK!! Check out her version of Fuji Yama Mama. This lady left her mark and I still think she kicks butt!
Most comments on here are just ignorant. She screamed most of her hits in style of rockabilly even back she was 20 so don't act surprised that she's not sounding like Celine Dion here. If you listen close she sounds the exact same, but with less power because of her age... that's all.
Nice assessment there. Besides, who TF wants to hear yet another female singer who over-emotes, wails and tries to pack every vocal nuance into one song? Egad, not me.
For all the negative comments about Wanda Jackson...how many of you can say you are still performing at 74?? HMMMMM??? (silence, followed by the chirping of crickets)...thought so....you have no reason to slam a country legend...
Steven Norman I knew Wanda when she was in my studio back in the 60's. She was as classy then as she still is today. She still gives me shivers as much as listening to this cut as if she were still running her fingers through my hair years ago. Same shocking feeling. She still has it.
Steven Norman I am most pleased with your response. Some of us old codgers have to respect those who created our roots from the ground up. Few these days to so. I am 58 going on 60...God willing. I go way back...LOL. I had the luck of helping some wonderful talents upon their destiny. She was one so gifted, not my me, but by God above. These things are NOT created in the studio, just enhanced. The gift comes from above, and few are so chosen. She was.
Also, feel glad and fortunate that you get to see someone like her perform on a grand stage while you can. The golden age singers are almost completely dead. Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee can all die any day now.
Si buscas la palabra perfección en Google debería redireccionarte a este video. Enorme Wanda Jackson, impecable como en sus primeros tiempos. Y la banda es de otro planeta. Si Jack White hizo los arreglos del tema se merece un 10
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, class of 2009. I saw Wanda with a small combo in a little club in the late 80s which would have put her in her 50s. She blew the roof off. Many singers cannot blast rockabilly vocals like that when they're 20, much less anytime thereafter. She was the only woman there when Rockabilly broke out in the 50s and helped pour the foundation for women in rock. Please show some respect for the Queen of Rockabilly or some man might tell you or your sister to take your/her mountain of talent and go home to the kitchen.
They are all having a blast. She is amazing, don't let her age fool ya! She might not be able to shake her ass like some young thing (anymore, she used to be one hot number) but she's a singer & she can out sing the majority of the singers nowadays!
