Jackson, 73, is best remembered as the singer and songwriter behind the ’50s classic “Letap Have a Party” –- a song that is considered the first rock ’n’ roll release from a woman.

White played alongside Jackson at showcase gigs in New York and Los Angeles –- along with their televised counterparts with David Letterman and Conan O’Brien, as seen below. Tickets for her Boulder show, $20-$22.50, are available at .
