One of my favourite singers: Big Mama Thorton shows how her song Hound Dog was meant to be sung. Elvis...like so many others including Th Beatles and Rolling Stones would steal songs from those original singers and song stutters only to never pay a cent of royalty to many. Big Mama never did see a cent for her song he stole. She was a tough gal who worked for peanuts in her youth on a cotton farm. Just sharing a small piece of history. Blues...the root of rock and roll. I did a paper on Black Slavery and Blues music once...it was one of the most amazing pieces of history I could ask for. It touched my heart and I was hooked.
