Janis Martin was born on March 27, 1940 and died on September 3, 2007 was an American rockabilly and country music singer.

Janis Martin was one of the few female rock & roll artists to be making records, proving to the male-dominated rock & roll industry that women too could sell a large amount of records and score rock & roll hits.

This opened doors for other rock & roll singers to come, like Brenda Lee. She was nicknamed The Female Elvis, for her impressive dance moves she did on stage, similar to those of Elvis Presley.
