My new video on the The Perfect Rock Song

@jim5559 very true....

There is no rock Best 

Elvis was inspired to add Hound Dog to his live set list after seeing Freddie Bell perform it live in Las Vegas. Leiber & Stroller wrote Hound Dog for Big Momma Thornton. I’ve seen some web sites that says Elvis stole the song from Thornton and was the one who made millions off it. Thornton has said she only made $500 off the original record. Elvis making millions off Hound Dog is the only true part of that thought process. Thornton’s record label and management would be the ones to blame if Thorton’s claim is true.   I’m not certain about what Thornton made money wise, however, it was common for black artist to get ripped off on performance royalties by record companies. Many lead artists went to record records under “for hire” agreements like studio musicians and were promised more money if the record took off.

I love statements like that!!! 😂🤣

"the Most Perfect Rock Song ever recorded."

Well, his cover did get attention. Perfect or greatest one R&R song would be one of many BLUES tunes later covered by someone else

@jim5559 I think Hound Dog has everything.

@roxy54 You may be correct with that. Those guitar solos are amazing though

Best one is not much .

Not even close. Not even in the running. It's just your fond memories making you think so.
