Big Mama's version is my favourite as is her version of her own 'Ball and Chain'. Some days I hate the IOS autocorrect.

@benbop1965 - THE essential version of Hound Dog is the original cut by Big Momma Thornton - which is so good that it birthed multiple imitators. Elvis liked her version so much that he cut his own, and the rest is history.

I'm about Brenda's same age and this is the first time I've heard her sing Hound Dog.

[@milosterwheeler2520]

Brenda was an amazing talent. She must be 79 now. I hope she is healthy and happy.

[@rogerscalf231]

Yes, 79. I ran into her a couple years ago, at a McDonald's. I was leaving, and she was sitting in a yellow Cadillac in front of the store, when I noticed her, and said 'Brenda Lee'!! She just says yes, then I ask her to sing "I'm Sorry" and she just tears right into it. Completely floored me! Ran into George ' Goober' Lindsey, asked him to do a quick Cary Grant, insulted me like a real a..hole. Never liked his sh.t anyway, he was a moron doctor on M*A*S*H, a moron on Andy Griffith, MORON on Hee Haw. As for George Lindsey or is it Lindsay, too bad

And Brenda has more talent and has a hell of a lot better sounding and more unique voice than whiney sounding Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift's music has no soul nor any depth to it. It is pure pop slag and in my opinion is mediocre at best.

@@davidhull1481 MJ’s body dysmorphia was at the level of a full-blown psychosis. Lots of circumstantial evidence pointing to pedophilia, as well as some other really weird behavior, which for some reason now, is too-graciously overlooked by current society. Judy Garland was a mere alcoholic and barbiturate user-mundane, by comparison.
