Related: About this forumYOU AIN'T NOTHING BUT A HOUND DOG - BIG MAMA THORNTON - Live
Willie Mae Thornton (December 11, 1926 July 25, 1984), better known as Big Mama Thornton, was an American rhythm-and-blues singer and songwriter.
She was the first to record Leiber and Stoller's "Hound Dog", in 1952, which became her biggest hit, staying seven weeks at number one on the Billboard R&B chart in 1953 and selling almost two million copies.
