Retro Corner - Momoe's "Rock 'n' Roll Widow"


I've been to Tupelo briefly, during a road trip. The waitress at the diner really did kind of sound like Elvis. Elvis impersonations are fun(ny), by the way, which could be why I like Momoe Yamaguchi's "Rock 'n' Roll Widow" (1980) so much. Indeed it is very rock 'n' rolling, something that would be fun to play on a jukebox.

When searching for this song, YouTube informed me that Tina Turner sang a song by the same name. I listened to it and it's not really rocking. So at least Yamaguchi's song does not mislead with the title!
