Wanda Jackson is, and shall always remain, the undisputed queen of rockabilly, but Sparkle Moore's incredibly brief career will always hold a special place in the imagination. Her entire vibe is surreal. If she had not existed, David Lynch and Angelo Badalamenti would have surely created her, if only for a picture or two. Releasing just a handful of sides on Fraternity Records in the fifties, Moore's delivery, cadence, phrasing and lyrics were uniquely her own---she also rocked a pompadour worthy of become a member or log in.
