Recent Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Wanda Jackson could soon have an alley in Oklahoma City named in her honor.
The Oklahoma City Council has proposed dubbing the unnamed alley "Wanda Jackson Way." The alley runs parallel to the canal in the Bricktown entertainment district, just to the south.

An ordinance proposing the honor was introduced Tuesday, and the City Council is scheduled to vote on it July 21.
Jackson would follow rock band The Flaming Lips in having an alley named after her. All of the actual streets in Bricktown are already named after Oklahomans such as baseball players Mickey Mantle, Johnny Bench and Joe Carter.
Jackson is known as "The Queen of Rockabilly." Her biggest hit was "Let's Have a Party."
