Artist/Band: Wanda Jackson
Lyrics for Song: Greatest Actor
Lyrics for Album: Please Help Me I'm Falling [1968]



(Charlie Williams)



I'm always right at the inside when the circus comes to town

And I'm always front row sitter when the playhouse lights go down

And I see some fine performers get the most from every line

But honey you're the greatest actor of our time.



Why I believe you cared for me that's how well you played your part

And later for an encore you broke my trusting heart

But I guess I should be grateful for the honor that was mine

I co-star with the greatest actor of our time.



--- Instrumental ---



Why I believe you cared for me that's how well you played your part

And later for an encore you broke my trusting heart

But I guess I should be grateful for the honor that was mine

I co-star with the greatest actor of our time...


Greatest Actor - Wanda Jackson

Wanda Jackson's 1968 recording of 'Greatest Actor' stands as a defining moment in the evolution of country rock and honky-tonk. As a pioneering figure who helped legitimize the electric guitar in country music, Jackson delivered this track with a raw, unapologetic energy that bridged the gap between traditional folk and emerging rock influences. The song appears on her album 'Please Help Me I'm Falling,' showcasing her signature vocal style and her ability to command attention through sheer force of personality. Released during a period when she was actively challenging genre boundaries, the recording captures the spirit of a performer who refused to be confined by convention. It remains a testament to her enduring impact on the genre, proving that country music could be both authentic and electric.
