I loved Carl Perkins, Jerry lee Lewis... not only were they personal friends.

My influences were Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis and Chuck Berry.

I was very keen on people like Elvis, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Gene Vincent.

Back then, I, most rockers loved Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis... you know in the '60s.

As I go back and listen, the other girls weren't singing quite like I was.

I didn't realize how many true Rockabilly fans there were here in America.
