Rockabilly is one of the earliest styles of Rock ‘N’ Roll music,it’s genre blends the sound of Country music, with that of Rhythm and Blues.Wanda Jackson was one of the first females to lead the way in performing Rock ‘N’ Roll, and Rockabilly.
‘Let’s Have a Party’ was written by Jessie Mae Robinson(1918-1966,) she was one of the few black songwriters to break the colour barrier,and the first female African-American member of ‘ASCAP,’ two of her other successful compositions are ‘Black Night,’ a Blues hit in 1951, and ‘I Went To Your Wedding,’ made famous by Patti Page in 1952.
