I am listening to Lou Simon's SiriusXM show on 60s Gold. He is doing a special on what they did with your song covers. Elvis Presley's Hound Dog was a cover! The original Hound Dog was from Big Mama Thornton, yikes! Her original was a trainwreck, Elvis much improved on it.

I've never heard the original version so I can't comment. But now you've got me curious, I'll have to check it out.
