Hound Dog (Studio Version) - Koko Taylor

[@eramorgan7375]

Just WORK it, Miss KoKo! Grown folks music.

[@syourke3]

Koko Taylor is even more intense than Big Mama. Seriously, this is a revelation! I always knew Koko Taylor was great but this goes to a whole new level.

[@jeffreybarkin3177]

IT sure is AWESOME! Yes, KOKO TAYLOR is TRULY An INCREDIBLE PERFORMER who DESERVES FAR GREATER RESPECT! TRUE! Willie Dixon's Influence is Clearly Here, Too. Thank You for considering my Thoughts. ❤

[@michaelsharpe4217]

It makes sense that hound dog about is a lazy, cheating man. Meaning is totally lost in the Elvis version.

[@PicciRam]

Big Mama Thornton has sung this song for the first time, has been revived by other artists, but has beacome very famous thanks to Elvis. Over the year it has been sung by several singers, but the most famous version is still that of Elvis.

[@gamawkolous4312]

Lol...

[@chritopherperrin1998]

lmao

[@soulman5665]

"Puts ELVIS To shame!!!!!!" Mmmm .... Interesting you feel that way because Koko and Etta might say different. Etta spoke highly of Elvis (both as a nice guy when she met him, and spoke highly of his singing). And KoKo, well, she was an Elvis fan. Part of the reason may be because she & Elvis both have the Memphis connection and they both had some of the same Blues and R&B friends from the area. In The Anti-Freeze Blues Festival in 2002 she specifically dedicated her live version of Hound Dog to both Big Mama & Elvis. And if you are familiar with Big Mama's original version and Koko's (right here) then you would notice that she is paying respect to Elvis in part of this version because she sings the lyrics "Cryin' all the time" and "Never caught a rabbit". Those 2 lines are Elvis's lyrics .... NOT Big Mama's lyrics, she sang it different. But she honored both of them here in this version as well. So .... I'm just keeping you honest in case you were just trying to "dis" Elvis.

[@lilaammons7298]

Hey, it's okay for someone to prefer one singer's version over another's. No "dis" on Elvis. I grew up watching all his movies and was in love with him as a kid. But as an adult, and having now heard the original versions.....I also prefer Big Mama Thornton's version - 'though Elvis had something to say, too. Now, when I see someone with a thumbs down on Big Mama, I kind of shake my head....

[@friezeninopstand3659]

By the way, the original Hounddog is written by Big Mama Thornton

That right. Elvis bridged the gap. In the 1950’s, the White mainstream rejected artists who sounded too black. The producers at Sun records looked for an artist who sounded black--but not too black--to bring a new sound to the White market. It actually brought B and W people together.
