I always need a towel to cry into when I listen to Big Momma Thornton. Ain't nobody as cool as Big Momma.

[@jessicajaramillo1668]

I grew up with women like this big, bold, beautiful. I am grateful for my inspirations! They were quite lovely, brown-skinned and chalk full of soul! Puro Alma! My own Mama reminds me of what she is wearing here on stage. My Mama was a nurse plus more! I love Big Mama sitting by her window "looking out at the rain!" She is BEYOND COOL!

[@jessicajaramillo1668]

Yes. all women are inspirations to me! I am not ashamed of being me! I love all people men and women! And, Big Mama sends out love and compassion! I know for a fact I did not disrespect people! I merely had a fetish! Nothing else! Never meant to harms anyone!

[@AlaskaSnowQueen]

@@jessicajaramillo1668 What are you talking about? Be specific for us , the slow ones

[@jessicajaramillo1668]

I just want you and others to know I adore the women that raised me. I too am big and brown! My Mama was an LPN she dressed in nurses clothing! I loved her without a doubt!

[@jessicajaramillo1668]

Big Mama is ever so inspirational! She is attractive, talented and artistic all rolled in one gorgeous Black woman!

[@sealyoness]

She really did play the harmonica! Only woman I've ever seen recorded playing one. What a woman! She really was wonderful, wasn't she? (Cut me slack, jack, I'm just learning the lady existed this very week, thanks to a friend on the opposite side of the planet, in case anyone wondered.)

[@user-nq7zl5id6p]

I was born in the 80s. Over 15 years ago I introduced myself to Muddy Waters Lightnin' Hopkins and many more blues singers from the 40s 50s and 60s era. I had never known about this music or heard it before. I like the old blues clubs in the movies too. I love Big Mama Thornton! What a show! What a good time!

[@davidsimms4508]

You want to know what gave birth to ROCK& ROLL , you looking at it. Canned heat, rolling stones, chuck berry, little richard, elvis, the British band invasion, these artist and others like them are their influences. FACTS!!!

[@tumama098]

que talento natural y genial ella sola es el blues hecho carne.con solo verla ves al blues y toda la historia de esclavitud y dolor

[@kimberlyhurtado3792]

En serio que un artista cuando canta tiene que sentir la pasion por hacerlo tu lo has dicho dolor y alegria al interpretar tan bella Letra y musica RIP the big mama

[@sisi11122]

We need to put Mama, and all the other great artists in Hall of fame, and pay them for making other artists like Elvis millions, or just take all dues from e.g Elvis; Hound Dog, and give them to the closest surviving relatives of Mama.

[@frankiebutler2894]

Rebecca and others Please know that neither Big Mama Thornton nor Elvis wrote “Hound Dog”. Two men wrote it, so any royalties are paid to them/their estates. Anybody has right to sing a song you wrote, with permission, it may have different arrangement. If you hear Big Mama speak about, “Ball and Chain”, she always mentions that she wrote it. Janice Joplin has to pay royalties to BM for it.
