Big Mama Thornton Sang "Hound Dog" Before Elvis. History Forgot Her. [Music History]

Willie Mae “Big Mama” Thornton had a blues voice that couldn’t be ignored. Raw, thunderous, and unforgettable. She recorded “Hound Dog” long before Elvis made it a hit.

At her height, Big Mama was at the center of American music. But history wrote her out of the story. This is the story of the woman who influenced artists like Elvis and Janis Joplin, yet died nearly forgotten. Subscribe for more stories about overlooked trailblazers, pioneers and inventors.
