@@cut1986 @Kent Westmoreland @Darlene Williams They're two different songs with the same title. Big Mama Thornton wrote one, Leiber & Stoller wrote the other. They don't have the same melody, or the same lyrics except for eight words. An analogy: Hambone Willie Newbern's blues classic "Rollin' and Tumblin'"' has twelve words in common with Robert Johnson's "If I Had Possession over Judgement Day" and a similar tune, but it wouldn't be fair to say they're the same song. Also the Leiber & Stoller song is rockabilly built on a 12-bar blues structure whereas Big Mama's song is straight-up glorious low-down blues!💙

Hound Dog was written by legendary lyricists Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, two Jewish white men. Big Mamma did NOT OWN THE SONG. She covered it just like Elvis did, and about a dozen other artists at the time. HER RECORD COMPANY owners were corrupt and run by two crooks -- Johnny Otis -- A white Greek dude who passed as a black man and Don Robey. Poor Big Mamma never got paid while her record manager became MILLIONAIRES. She made just $500 on that song Hound Dog. But that had NOTHING AT ALL to do with Elvis who opened a LOT OF DOORS for black artists such as Chuck Berry, Little Richard, James Brown and changed the WORLD. Once Elvis broke out EVERYONE MADE MONEY. (Sadly, super talented Big Mamma got dumped in the Chitlin circuit by her corrupt management and that's where her career ended. They stole a ton of her money... millions.)

@@2LivePromo The legendary BB King proves you wrong: "In June 1956, Presley ignored Memphis's segregation ordinances by attending 'Colored Night' at the local fairgrounds amusement park. The following December, King was there as Presley opened up almost unbreakable racial barriers by attending and supporting the segregated WDIA black radio station's annual fund-raising event for 'needy black children' at Memphis' Ellis Auditorium. King wrote in his autobiography that he 'liked Elvis. I saw him as a fellow Mississippian. I was impressed by his sincerity. " -- BB King "When he came to the Goodwill Review (the event WDIA fund raisers of 1956 and 1957), he did himself proud'. 'The Goodwill Revues were important', he wrote. 'The entire black community turned out. All the DJs carried on, putting on skits and presenting good music'. In his autobiography, King said he held no grudges because 'Elvis didn't steal any music from anyone. He just had his own interpretation of the music he'd grown up on, same is true for everyone. I think Elvis had integrity'." -- -- BB King "'If anyone says Elvis Presley was a racist', charged B.B. King in the 2010 interview. 'Then they don't know a thing about Elvis Presley or music history. 'Many nights after we finished our sets and I'd go up to his suite', King stated. 'I'd play Lucille (on Elvis' guitar) and sing with Elvis, or we'd take turns. It was his way of relaxing'. 'I'll tell you a secret', King winked and laughed. 'We were the original Blues Brothers because that man Elvis knew more blues songs than most in the business - and after some nights it felt like we sang everyone one of them." 'Let me tell you the definitive truth about Elvis Presley and racism', The King of the Blues, B.B. King said, 'With Elvis, there was not a single drop of racism in that man. And when I say that, believe me I should know'." -- -- BB King

EVERY SONG WRITER GOT PAID, and paid really well. Elvis credited every songwriter - on every album Elvis made without exception. Yes -- Including the black song writers that sold their music to Elvis to perform. Lieber and Stoller were two Jewish guys that wrote most of Elvis best material from the early 50s. Not a SINGLE STOLEN SONG. Most big stars had songs written for them. It was considered an honor to have an Ella Fitsgerald, Elvis, Frank Sinatra or a Nat King Cole perform a song that songwritewriters wrote. And no one paid black songwriters more than Elvis Presley.

In 1970 I had just turned 21. It was late in the evening on a hot summer night and my friend and I wanted a cold beer. We were on Yonge Street in Toronto in the entertainment district. The closest bar featured a band called "Motherlode" which had a minor hit on the Billboard charts. When we entered we found that a heavy cover charge was levied and we had little money. There was also a line up to get in. When we said that all we wanted was a beer, the man at the door suggested we go downstairs to a room where admission was free. We complied and under a dim blue light in a sparsely filled room we encountered Big Mama and she was singing her heart out. She wore a small 50s style hat with small feathers protruding at the front. In her last set there was a little boy about 10 years old playing on the drums...he was quite good for his age. I wondered whether he was a relative of hers or perhaps the son of a band member. Motherlode never enjoyed much success after that, but Big Mama Thornton has left her legacy in American music. Going downstairs was a great decision!
