Every Night Is Saturday Night by Wanda Jackson

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.

Lamont Dozier is an inductee to both the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, a recipient of the prestigious Johnny Mercer Award for songwriting, and a BMI Icon award winner. Scott B. Bomar is an award-winning, Grammy-nominated writer who has authored or co-authored five books.
