Beautiful Woman ! Beautiful movement of jazz blues clubs on the "Chitlin Circuit" due to the horrible segregation back in the day . Very grateful for the upload. . Included in this comment are some excerpts from an article about the "chitlin circuit" legendary club in Pittsburgh called the "Hurricane Club" . for full article click on link below " The Hurricane’s great jazz scene drew crowds from the Hill District neighborhood and from all over Western, Pa. Frequenting the club were young and old, white and black, blue collar and white collar, the famous and the common, the upper crust and the under crust all side by side as described by Ann Butler of the Pittsburgh Press. Birdie told Ann Butler “I just can’t explain it to you because segregation and prejudice was rampant. But everybody would be sitting together in the same booths. And I had a good time with ‘em.” Birdie Dunlap provided a welcoming safe atmosphere for everyone to socialize. " " The Hurricane was an oasis island in the sea of prejudice and segregation of the 1950s and 1960s. The Midway and other downtown Pittsburgh clubs featured many of the same acts that played clubs in the Hill, but unwritten segregation rules shut African Americans jazz fans out. The musicians union often kept African American artists from working the down town clubs. Clubs like the Hurricane and the Crawford Grill welcomed a diverse set of jazz fans and provided work for African American jazz artists.

Jacques Merabtene rnb existed decades before this, it originate from late 30s early 40s with the electric instruments making their apparitions, i would rather say that blues is the origin of rnb wich is the origin of rock n roll
Love big mama's original others copied her Why can't her family sue for royalties like the Mavin Gay's children? Not fair to her personal intellectual property. NOT FAIR!!!
No, whomever "Wrote" the song gets Royalties. It was the first of Many Songs Written by The Late Jerry Leiber (RIP) and Mike Stoller. They Co-Wrote it with Johnny Otis.
Tony Wright again thank you this person Big King Bud is under the assumption again that Elvis is standard and of course this is not true.Presley was a beneficiary of historical misconceptioncreated by others on his behalf.
That's very true. I've nothing but respect for Elvis's talents, but he wasn't anything approaching the innovator he's been made out to be. Nothing about rock and roll originated with Elvis; he simply had the fortune of being white, handsome, and marketable.
IndigoIceman Elvis is the only "superstar" who made it big playing covers of other people's songs . The biggest thing he did was show white kids black music. I know in our liberal and politically correct world everything isn't always black and white but in this case it is
Shane that is not true other white artists became wealthy from covering black music.Bill Hailey and The Comets did a remake of "Shake Rattle And Roll" it was originally done by Big Joe Turner.
In South Africa it was called Apartheid, whilst in the US it was the same thing:-( And they wondered why Muhamed Ali (Cassious Clay!) at the time wouldn't join the army to fight in Vietnam...
Forget Elvis..... Big Mama & Buddy Guy rockin' the house!!!!

Big King Bud sorry to burst your bubble but her version of this is the original.Elvis came afterwards.

Dwight Love I wasn't saying it in a bad way .A lot of bands cover songs. But Elvis is the only one became a household name because of them.
+Shane P Point taken just saying other artists benefitted from playing black music besides Elvis.
business was know for stealing songs from black artist's
+Mark Minez aint that the truth.
