Big Mama Thornton - Hound Dog

Every now and then I like to re-watch this clip, and generally salute Big Mama Thornton. Her version of 'Hound Dog' was the original version, pre Elvis Presley. She also wrote and performed the original 'Ball and chain', as made famous by Janis Joplin (who certainly acknowledged Big Mama Thornton, whereas Elvis Presley did not).

She was just an absolute powerhouse of talent. An absolute legend.
