Here's the 15-year-old Janis Martin backed by the Nashville A-Team. RCA billed her as "The Female Elvis". While that may be kind of silly, she did have a great big voice - especially for a girl of that age.
The session also included songs "One More Year To Go" (released as the flip of her next single, "Ooby Dooby", RCA 47-6560) and "Let's Elope, Baby" (the A-side of her 4th single, RCA 47-6744).
Carl Stutz co-wrote "Little Things Mean a Lot", which was a US #1 hit for Kitty Allen in 1954.
