Big Mama Thornton was a very prolific songwriter. You might as well react to her version of Hound Dog since you did Elvis’s cover🙏🏾 😊

[@bam55sgarage77]

Thank you for doing the original singer version. Black artist get forgotten, she is also the original singer of hound dog.

[@donaldcarpenter5328]

This IS so AWESOME!!! Janis did Justice to this song, not NOTHING beats the ORIGINAL and the writer.

[@jeffk.9075]

I truly wish more people reacted to and discovered her. She deserves so much more then she was ever given in life.

[@billmavin6203]

Wow. Brilliant - shout out to the gratitude Buddy Guy on guitar

[@donaldcarpenter5328]

Yeah, CHECK OUT Miss ROSETTA THARPE!!!!

[@peterwilks4391]

I'll second that: sister Tharpe.woefully underappreciated. As is Big Mama Thornton.

[@donaldcarpenter5328]

SPEECHLESS! Our hosts were SPEECHLESS! Don't feel bad, everyone is who hears her for the FIRST time!

[@stevedahlberg8680]

She was fantastic and a huge influence on Elvis Presley for sure. You can see so much of her in him and not just her of course, that whole world of older gospel Blues just old school stuff. If you can, try to find some of her early stuff, typically in black and white.

[@michaelway7936]

Oh yeah, Big Mama killed this song,both her and Janis made this song memorable

[@dejavu2724]

I don't think ppl understand how many ppl BMT inspired. One of my faves of all time

[@SPANKY221]

Wow!! I have never heard this. I only knew Janis Joplins version. This is wonderful!! Thank you for this. ✌️

[@georgesheffield1580]

Find some local LIVE Blues seen and enjoy the real thing . Momma is gone but there are countless new ,young and some ancient blues singers and players still tearing up the audience.

[@paulkersey1007]

I really wish that more black youth who won and claim to know more about the roots of black history would listen more to the blues and American Roots music. I understand that hip-hop and rap are the contemporary modern day pieces that people do listen to but they should also be an appreciation because by not listening to people like big mama Thornton and the blues, it serves as an injustice for the people who live this hardship

[@DebraSuttondls]

Wow she blew me away.

[@annmills3163]

Check out her live performance of Hound Dog. She was the first to record it but she didn’t write it.

[@donaldcarpenter5328]

BIG MAMA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@paulkersey1007]

FINALLY SOMEONE DID THIS REACTION. I have been pushing for this song from so many people

[@Squeekyleaks]

I love Janis Joplin's version, but this is other worldly. Nothing like the original, Big Mama is amazing.

[@Joe-ym6bw]

She was great

[@timothybush9633]

Hello You Both ♥ First I am a white man and a Musician and because of what ever was Wrong with the industry many people never heard this song on their radio and never heard of Big Mama Thornton, Except For Guys Like Me!! I'm 64 years old and many Musicians like me know her and her songs that Lieber and Stoller payed only $500 to give it to Elvis, which made millions for the managers with this song, you will need to check, but before her death in 1984 I'm not sure how much, if any, money she received for this song 😡Either way she should have gotten much much more than $500 for Hound Dog? Let me say "I'm Sorry to her family". The Music Business is full of Thieves 🙏For Willie Mae🙏

[@billmavin6203]

Janis Joplin made sure Big Mama got full royalties for her version.

[@davisworth5114]

Explain why black folks do rap when they can listen to this, the music they created, the blues? Please react to "Something Inside Me" by Elmore James, thank you, love you guys.

[@harpergras]

She is a true legend.

[@georgesheffield1580]

Big Momma mentored Janice .

[@JohnDeDominicano]

She along with Sister Rosetta Tharpe are the Mothers of Rock, yet today Rock is not associated with Blackness due to the system of white supremacy, cultural appropriation and white washing. Tina Turner and Tracy Chapman are the only Black women you here in Rock in today's Pop Culture which is very sad considering that a Black woman created Rock music 😑😑😑😑😑😑

[@thepamela050]

This sounds like the Blues and I've listen to a lot of Tracy Chapman and she also sounds like the blues.. Not so much rock n roll.

[@davisworth5114]

Hey bro, give us a break. I'm 76 years old and I grew up with Fats Domino, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Bo Diddley, not to forget Louis Armstrong and Sidney Bechet. Where do you come up with this BS? BTW, anybody who knows anything knows that musicians of all stripes have been ripped off by the sharks in the music biz, please keep it real. Back in 1970 you couldn't pay black people to listen to the blues, white musicians saved the blues from extinction. And as for "cultural appropriation", all musicians steal sounds from each other, how do you think we learn how to play???

[@pedrolemos1038]

Bigg Mamma is the best singer, but the pergomace goes to janis

[@donaldcarpenter5328]

Janus did "justice" to Ball & Chain, but hers is NOTHING like the ORIGINAL!!! Janus Joplin's version "PALES" in comparison!
