March 8, 1956 saw Martin's debut session for RCA. Accompanied by some of the best Nashville studio musicians, her first release included the self-penned "Drugstore Rock'n'Roll", becoming an instant hit and urging the label to get more material. Rock'n'Roll was the name of the game and Elvis the top singer of the country, so somebody at RCA thought that it would be a good idea to use his name to promote Janis' records and, after receiving the mandatory permission from Presley's manager, she was billed as the female Elvis from then on even though she only met the singer a couple of times.
