Gospel, Rockabilly, Soul No Comments
Did not want to go see some old lady doing early rockabilly but how could I not love her? Tiny spunky 70 year old. Clear that she’d lived but still had the restraint of an older generation.

Must mention that she dated Elvis Presley, though he wasn’t the husband helping her off the stage.
