Let's hear it from Big Mama Thornton!

Another great music request from a loyal Inspiration Lounge fan! Big Mama Thornton singing Hound Dog for Inspiration Monday!

Big Mama's influence on music and the musicians who came after her cannot be overstated. Her name and legacy will forever remain among the very greatest of blues legends. Thornton's mighty voice, take-no-guff attitude, and incendiary stage performances influenced generations of blues and rock singers and carried on the tradition of such tough "blues mamas" as Bessie Smith, Memphis Minnie, and Ma Rainey.
