Even though he ripped it off from a black woman, I like Hound Dog 100x more than Love Me Tender. nod

What was the name of the original artist? I wanna say Big Mama Thornton, but I'm not sure if that's right....


At any rate, her version kick's Elvis' ass around the block. smile

nod Hound Dog was a remake, and the melody of Love Me Tender was taken from an old Civil War-era song called Aura Lee. I learned that in sixth grade when I played it on the recorder. biggrin At any rate, I love both songs, but Hound Dog is the better track. It's also a Billboard chart milestone. With that song, Elvis became the only artist to hit #1 on the pop, country and R&B chart with the same song.
