WHEN ‘’HOUND DOG’’ WAS RECORDED FIRST

RETRO KIMMER'S BLOG: BIG MAMA THORNTON: ROCK BEGINS

Elvis Presley’s “Hound Dog” (1956) is one of the biggest and
most instantly recognizable pop songs in history. It’s a song

in fact, the story of the song that gave Presley his longest-
running #1 hit (11 weeks) in the summer of 1956 began four
years earlier, when “Hound Dog” was recorded for the very
first time by the rhythm-and-blues singer Ellie Mae “Big
Mama” Thornton in Los Angeles, California.
