The song "Hound Dog" was originally recorded by blues singer Big Mama Thornton in 1952. Her version became a hit, but it was Elvis Presley’s 1956 rendition that gained widespread fame, turning the song into one of his signature tracks. Thornton's powerful performance laid the groundwork for the song's enduring popularity.
He cut the record in April of 1952 at Peacock records. The song was released in March 1953.
Probably the quintessential Elvis song which is partly C&W ( as are many Elvis songs) rhe familiar Hound Dog!
