Wanda Jackson was born in Oklahoma, but her father Tom — himself a country singer who quit because of the Depression — moved the family to California in 1941. He bought Wanda her first guitar two years later, gave her lessons, and encouraged her to play piano as well. In addition, he took her to see such acts as Tex Williams, Spade Cooley, and Bob Wills, which left a lasting impression on her young mind. Tom moved the family back to Oklahoma City when his daughter was 12 years old. In 1952, she won a local talent contest and was given a 15-minute daily show on KLPR. The program, soon upped to 30 minutes, lasted throughout Jackson´s high school years. It´s here that Thompson heard her sing. Jackson recorded several songs with the Brazos Valley Boys, including -You Can´t Have My Love,- a duet with Thompson´s bandleader, Billy Gray. The song, on the Decca label, became a national hit, and Jackson´s career was off and running. She had wanted to sign with Capitol, Thompson´s label, but was turned down due to her young age, so she signed with Decca instead.
