    I grew up with women like this big, bold, beautiful. I am grateful for my inspirations! They were quite lovely, brown-skinned and chalk full of soul! Puro Alma! My own Mama reminds me of what she is wearing here on stage. My Mama was a nurse plus more! I love Big Mama sitting by her window "looking out at the rain!" She is BEYOND COOL!

      Yes. all women are inspirations to me! I am not ashamed of being me! I love all people men and women! And, Big Mama sends out love and compassion! I know for a fact I did not disrespect people! I merely had a fetish! Nothing else! Never meant to harms anyone!

    I was born in the 80s. Over 15 years ago I introduced myself to Muddy Waters Lightnin' Hopkins and many more blues singers from the 40s 50s and 60s era. I had never known about this music or heard it before. I like the old blues clubs in the movies too. I love Big Mama Thornton! What a show! What a good time!

    She really did play the harmonica! Only woman I've ever seen recorded playing one. What a woman! She really was wonderful, wasn't she? (Cut me slack, jack, I'm just learning the lady existed this very week, thanks to a friend on the opposite side of the planet, in case anyone wondered.)

      Rebecca and others
      Please know that neither Big Mama Thornton nor Elvis wrote “Hound Dog”. Two men wrote it, so any royalties are paid to them/their estates. Anybody has right to sing a song you wrote, with permission, it may have different arrangement. If you hear Big Mama speak about, “Ball and Chain”, she always mentions that she wrote it. Janice Joplin has to pay royalties to BM for it.
