On Being Remembered
FWIW, Sam Phillips much preferred Big Mama’s original to Elvis’ cover, according to biographer Peter Guralnick. (Elvis’ Hound Dog was released by RCA, not Sun.)
Nobody sang it better than Mama Thornton. Thanks for the video of her singing it. Hit replay. Again.
Wow. 🤩
I just noticed that there is a recent book about her: https://utpress.utexas.edu/9781477321188/

Honestly, this is the best version of this song I've ever heard. It really makes me FEEL something. I've never felt anything with Elvis' version.
