"Look around today and you can hear lots of rocking girl singers who owe an unconscious debt to the mere idea of a woman like Wanda.

“She’s influential to every modern female singer, whether they know about her or not. She broke down those walls in the beginning, when it was the hardest to do.” —Jack White

“There’s an authenticity in her voice that conjures up a world and a very distinct and particular place in time.” —Bruce Springsteen

“As you look up the history of your roots in music, you don’t find a lot of women. But Wanda Jackson was right there, at the beginning of it….“I learned to sing rock ’n’ roll by listening to Wanda Jackson, but I learned about country music from her, too.” —Cyndi Lauper

“Wanda Jackson, an atomic fireball of a lady, could have a smash hit with just about anything.” —Bob Dylan
