Elvis, over-rated pishh. One of his records was #1 the day I was born. Lucky charm IIRC..

I like Elvis's version, but that is class!

it was written for Big Mama Thornton. Apparently the two songwriters.met up one day afterwards and one mentioned that their song was no 1. "what? Big Mama Thornton's no 1 int the charts". "No, Elvis"". Recounting this he said they were disappointed at first but after a couple of trips to the bank, they got used to it.

It's a bit odd altogether when you think about it. It's so identified with Elvis, yet it's so clearly written to be sung by a woman.

Apparently when Elvis sang Hound Dog on the Milton Berle show it was watched by 40,000,000 people, imagine that!
Anyway, as always, you need the The Killer for the rockinest version of anything...
