Big Mama Thornton Hound Dog ᶠᵘˡˡᴴᴰ - Coleção Black Music

Big Mama Thornton was a blues singer who helped shape the sound of Rock&Roll. She released the song “Hound Dog” in 1953. The song sold two million records and went #1 on the R&B charts. Unfortunately Thornton only received about $500 from those profits. For those who are old enough to remember, Elvis Presley released “Hound Dog” in 1956, his biggest worldwide rock and roll hit record. Repost from @africanarchives What did you guys think?
