Updated: 4/28/2022

Big Mama Thornton DIDN'T write Hound Dog; it was written by Jerry Lieber & Mike Stoller. They would go on to write (more) hits for Elvis Presley, the Coasters, and the Drifters, among others.

One of the most important songwriting teams in rock & roll history, they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987
