Wanda: "In July '55, I had just graduated from high school.
I already had a couple of hits in country music, and Bob Neal, a talented agent who also managed the affairs of Elvis to Colonel Parker, said: "I book a young man named Elvis Presley, which is very quickly gaining in popularity, and we were on the show need a girl ". I had no idea who he was.
I met him at the radio station in Cape Girardeau and was very impressed - a real handsome.
He was wearing a little brighter than the guys from Oklahoma - yellow coat, driving a pink Cadillac! It was so unusual!
Before that I had never seen a pink car!
That night, we worked together.
During his speech, I was sitting in the dressing room. Suddenly there was a terrible screams. Dad ran to see what was happening, thinking that the fire started. I quickly began to collect things. He came back and said, "Relax, you have to see it."
We stood behind the scene, which was Elvis and the girls were attracted to him and cried non-stop! For that time it was very unusual sight!
