Another famous piece which most would link to Janis Joplin. However it is her original. "Ball and Chain"

If I knew this type of talent/music was out there when I was a kid... I would have ran away from home just to find it.

Presley changed the song, actually he borrowed an already changed version of the song, and when I first heard Thornton I understood why he had to change it.

Big Mama Thornton performing "Hound Dog". She released the song first in 1953 before Elvis Presley (1956), his biggest worldwide rock and roll hit record. Thornton was a blues singer who helped shape the sound of Rock&Roll. She released the song “Hound Dog” in 1953 and it sold two million records and went #1 on the R&B charts. Unfortunately Thornton only received about $500 from those profits.

I want a biopic on Big Mama Thornton. Four years before Elvis Presley released Hound Dog, she sang it. It was her hit! Then he imitated her and made millions. She never saw a dime. Later she would introduce Hound Dog to crowds as “this is the record I made Elvis rich on.”

On this day in 1952, Big Mama Thornton recorded the original version of "Hound Dog", years before Elvis ever touched it. The song was actually written specifically for her, and she absolutely killed the vocals. It ended up sitting at #1 on the R&B charts for 7 straight weeks.🎶

Elvis took "Hound Dog" from Big Mama Thornton. Sang it bar for bar. Got bigger than her. Richer than her. Never paid her a dime in publishing. Chuck Berry invented rock and roll and watched white artists copy his entire sound, his moves, his energy — and build empires off it.

This is Roy Hamilton, the Black man who Elvis Presley got his sound and moves from. He also copied Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup, Little Junior Parker, and Big Mama Thornton. I think Jackie Wilson should be included too. #TheOriginal #BlackMen #BlackEntertainers
