Willie Mae Thornton (December 11, 1926 – July 25, 1984), better known as Big Mama Thornton, was an American rhythm-and-blues singer and songwriter. She was the first to record Leiber and Stoller's "Hound Dog", in 1952, which became her biggest hit, staying seven weeks at number one on the Billboard R&B chart in 1953 and selling almost two million copies. Thornton's other recordings included the original version of "Ball 'n' Chain", which she wrote.

Willie Mae "Big Mama" Thornton. Hound Dog, Night Mare (Shellac, 10"). Not to knock the Elvis version, which still holds up as pretty exciting rock and roll, this song makes a hell of a lot more sense being sung by a woman and the bluesy voice of Big Mama brings in the sexuality that is missing in the Presley version.
