Fujiyama Mama-Wanda Jackson
From the state of Oklahoma, you came to be.
Many proclaimed you rock and roll’s first lady.
Discovered by Hank Thompson in Oklahoma City,
you became so popular, even dating Elvis Presley.
Influenced by Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Buddy Holly,
your biggest hit song came in 1960.
Top of the charts came with “Let’s Have a Party”.
“Fujiyama Mama” made you famous internationally.
From being a pioneer in rockabilly,
your music success continued with country.
Flamboyant performances earned you popularity.
Many of your fans still flock to see you today.
Judging from your success, it is easy to say,
you have been number one, and there may you stay.
Thanks to wikipedia.org online encyclopedia for the information I obtained to write this poem.
