RCA Recording female rockabilly artist Janis Martin -- who was dubbed the female Elvis has suffered a heart attack. No other news has come thru yet.  Originally released in South Africa in 1957 is the sought after "Janis And Elvis" 10" EP was deleted shortly after its release. Promoted as the "Female Elvis"  RCA South Africa decided to promote Janis releasing this EP  featuring  Elvis & Janis songs on each side. Elvis songs included "Baby Let's Play House"  "You're A Heartbreaker" "I'm Left, You're Right She's Gone" & "Milkcow Blues Boogie" Janis' songs  were "Ooby-Dooby" "Let's Elope Baby" "One More Year To Go" & "Barefoot Baby". All songs captured the boy/ girl issues from the mid fifties. According to history the EP was withdrawn on Colonel Parker's instructions: "My boy don't share no record with a woman". Janis disappeared pretty quickly too. By the time she was 16 (she was signed to the label aged 15) she was married and pregnant.
