Hear What You've Been Missing - Elvis Presley's "Hound Dog"
on January 23, 2012
Here we are again for this month's "Hear what you've been missing" feature post!
Music is one of life's greatest gifts and I hope that this track brings back some great memories as it has certainly stood the test of time and is a classic in every sense.
This month's feature song is "Hound Dog" by Elvis Presley. Here are some quick facts:
-
Originally recorded by Willie Mae "Big Mama" Thornton in 1952.
-
Re-recorded in 1956 by Elvis Presley.
-
Elvis first performed "Hound Dog" to a national TV audience of 40,000,000 people on the Milton Berle Show.
-
This now infamous performance by "Elvis the Pelvis" stirred up heavy controversy as critics accused him of morale indecency and an influence of juvenile delinquency.
- Hound Dog is his best selling single and spent record 11 weeks at #1. It stayed #1 until it was knocked out by "Love me Tender", also recorded by Elvis.
