Jackson was still in high school when country singer Hank Thompson heard her sing on an Oklahoma City radio show and asked her to record with his band in 1954. She dated Elvis Presley, who encouraged her to step away from the country-tinged gospel she had been performing since childhood and try her hand at rock and roll. She developed her own distinctive voice and performed in a variety of styles, from folksy traditional tunes to country twang and high yodels to throaty, suggestive ballads. She was a prolific singer of songs with wry lyrics such as "Fujiyama Mama," which contained many references to the World War II bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki; ironically, it became a #1 hit in Japan. Her biggest hit was 1959's "Let's Have a Party."
Jackson achieved great and continuing success throughout Europe, Asia, and Australia, but has never found the same level of fame in her native United States. She toured with rock and roll pioneers such as Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Buddy Holly. She has been nominated for two Grammys, and has been awarded the Oklahoma Native Daughter Award. She has been inducted into the Oklahoma Country Music Hall of Fame, the Rockabilly Hall of Fame, the International Hall of Fame, the International Gospel Music Hall of Fame, the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame, and the German Country Music Hall of Fame, and in 2009 was finally inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as an Early Influence.
A born-again Christian, Jackson and her husband/manager Wendell Goodman abandoned rock and roll in 1971 and spent the next 25 years performing gospel in churches.
In 1996, Jackson was invited by alt-country singer Rosie Flores to duet with her on an upcoming album. The two were so pleased with the results that Jackson joined Flores on a handful of promotional club dates which were soon extended into a five-week North American tour. Jackson, plesantly surprised to discover that she and her songs were known by a generation of rockabilly fans her grandchildren's age, soon assembled her own band and returned to clubs and festivals, where she continues to perform.
In recent years Jackson has recorded with such artists as The Cramps, Lee Rocker, Dave Alvin, and Elvis Costello. 2006 saw the release of a new Jackson album, I Remember Elvis.
In 2009, it was announced that Jackson would start work on new recordings with Jack White. The resulting album, The Party Ain't Over, was released on January 25, 2011. It included a cover of the Bob Dylan rockabilly song, "Thunder on the Mountain" and the Amy Winehouse song "You Know I'm No Good". On January 20, 2011, she performed with Jack White on The Late Show With David Letterman and again on January 25, 2011, on Conan.

I don't have to be loved to sleep I can't just lie here and weep
Cause I'm the queen of my lonely little world
No one can tell me what to do I know it all I learned from you
Yes I'm the queen of my lonely little world
I'm the queen of my lonely little world
You said I couldn't live without you guess I showed you a thing or two
Cause I'm the queen of my lonely little world
At night the moon don't shine no more lonely gloom comes round my door
But I'm the queen of my lonely little world
When the daylight finally dawns blues move in around my throne
But I'm the queen of my lonely little world
My every wish is my command...
The lyrics of Wanda Jackson's song "I'm the Queen of My Lonely Little World" reveal a powerful and independent woman who is not afraid to be alone. The first verse highlights her strength, stating that she doesn't need to be loved to feel content. She has control of her own world, and she's not going to let anyone dictate how she should live. The second verse suggests that she learned this independence from a past relationship, someone who might have tried to control her. Nevertheless, she's moved on and now revels in her solitude.
The chorus reiterates her power and control, emphasizing that she doesn't need anyone to fulfill her wishes or dreams. The final two stanzas of the song describe her loneliness, but her confidence never falters. She's still the queen of her world, even if it's sometimes bleak. In conclusion, the lyrics portray the message that being alone doesn't have to be a bad thing. Sometimes it makes us stronger and allows us to discover our inner strength and potential.
