Thankful that the internet makes it possible to discover and keep this music alive. Her voice is like a slap across the face in the best way possible.
Si te pega una bofetada lleva comida para el viaje
I like your analogy
She could shout and sing with fine musicality and feel. Super!
When I heard it I couldn't describe it. The first NOTE. OMG. soul shaking. I love discovering these GEMS. Perfect wording
She also reminds me of Etta James and Mama Cass!
Sorry Elvis, sit down.
Yep. Elvis. I did recently receive some some info on your thoughts of American Racism back in the day and I did not like what I read via the article I read and it was an online story. Very ugly and I cannot believe you said that.
Please, please other fans of Elvis tell me what I read was not true.
A white guy here who loved that voice of Elvis although the Temptations took me Away. Thank you.
elvis was not racist do not believe what you read
Momz Davis I dont believe it.. Elvis wasn't raised to be disrespectful and he always was the most generous giving people money every chance he got..so your word are truely unbelievable. .
@@plmillerda ELVIS IS AHUMAN, DONT TRUST HUMAN
@Momz Davis BYE
I understand why the older generation is not impressed with the new music out now. Back then, you had to have real talent.
That’s s “utterly” unimpressed.
Indeed 💯✅👍
Rock and roll owes a lot to Big Mama Thornton.
A great and one time only performance. I saw biking at beale Street Cafe. I was blessed.
All talent and didn't have to look like or act like a street walker to be a great act!
Rock and roll owes it all to Sister Rosetta
U R right bro..
You ain’t lying
I love how she came from the back singing with no microphone! Yaass big mama!
She's so cool. I love how she casually wanders in and places her bag down, before blowing the place apart. Wonderful. x
Yes
@@QueenAnitaSoul She was a great woman!!!!
And here the masses swore patti la yelle did it first....Big Momma would come out wailing without a microphone 🎤...I mem’ba I was there...Big Momma Thornton was a bad bitch ❤️❤️
I felt it on a spiritual level
No Autotune, no hi-tech. No special effects. No plastic posers. Just pure talent. Just red blood in their veins.
я тоже это сразу увидел, только талант
Pure and real.
I hope you get the chance to love something without it also having to be a flex. Just be in it, and soak it in. It's an amazing feeling.
And a singer who is a real woman and not a pseudosexy barbie doll ;-)

so glad that I have found you , amazing lady, thankyou Mama Thornton 😊
I love how she casually walks in carrying her purse and sings so effortlessly.
This made me tear up. How am I only learning of this woman now? What an immense talent!
I listened to her when I was a kid and that's over 30+ years ago.
I thought I was going to be the only one who got a strong reaction :,D
Agree. I've never heard of her.
Elvis stile most of his music from her
@Kristi Astral if you think she's good check out Sister Rossetta Thorpe
57 years later and it still is a masterpiece
And it'll be a masterpiece in another 114 years from now
Damn right
It goes in your blood, head and soul. Big ♥️
I'm 57 years old and I'm a masterpiece. Thanks big mama!)))
Wow
She even brought her purse to stage. True power move.
❤
yo, you indian?
How come this woman is not a known legend ? Geezzz this is probably the best singer ever.
🤣🤣 she is a known legend ! dont you recognise the song 😃
The song makes so much more sense being sang by the woman who wrote the song and viewing her a cheating man from her perspective. “ You ain’t nothing but a hound dog snooping around my door....I ain’t gone feed you no mo.” What a voice!
"woman who wrote the song" The song was written by two White Jewish men.
Agreed a great version , but get your facts correct
Song was written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller who wrote Jailhouse Rock, Love Me and a ton of other huge hits. Two Jewish boys that came out of Los Angeles. Pioneers of rock and roll as far as songwriting goes.
Back in that era didn't believe in giving blacks their due. It's oblivious alot of white entertainer copy alot blacks music. Just because it sounded alot better.
@@cut1986 @Kent Westmoreland @Darlene Williams
They're two different songs with the same title. Big Mama Thornton wrote one, Leiber & Stoller wrote the other. They don't have the same melody, or the same lyrics except for eight words.
An analogy: Hambone Willie Newbern's blues classic "Rollin' and Tumblin'"' has twelve words in common with Robert Johnson's "If I Had Possession over Judgement Day" and a similar tune, but it wouldn't be fair to say they're the same song.
Also the Leiber & Stoller song is rockabilly built on a 12-bar blues structure whereas Big Mama's song is straight-up glorious low-down blues!💙
Damn, She deserves a lot more credit than she got.. What an amazingly talented musician, a triple threat, & fierce on the harmonica..crazy how talented this woman was..
2022
She played the drums, too.
RIP, Big Mama!
Thanx so very very much for the magic, music, and memories.
@@931dmitris 💙
Oh yeeh
yep
Her tone on “YOOOOUUUUU AINT NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG” is pure bliss
Legends on stage, Muddy Waters, Buddy Guy, John Lee Hooker and Big Momma still controlled it. This could have been a Super Bowl half time show .
Hound Dog was good...then...she hit that harmonica....!😀 This is old time good time 'Jukin'
I believe that the voice and swag of Mama Thornton should become a National treasure in American Music.
My God yes, did she ever have the swagger!
YES IT SHOULD.
Already is, saw her about 1965 very powerful.
She is black and also woman..it`s almost impossible in any country of the world tHats never will happen in the world. But in the USA certainly impossible (excuse me for my bad english)
@@carlosrodriguez-vj3nr strength and passion Big Mama was so extraordinary the White World learning the blues 💙
Had a great teacher , Powerful voice blues moves the whole world , still
I hope she gets a movie done about her life. She is so underrated and never really got recognized for her work unless somebody ripped her song off. If hound dog is the only song you know that she sung please research before debating with me.
Yessss🙏
If they do I think that queen latifah should play her she kinda reminds me of her ❤️
@@geniasmith5791 she did a great job as Bessie smith
@@geniasmith5791 excellent voice

The original and pure rock'n roll.
It's not RnR though. It's Blues.
Wooooh! 18 year old, born, and raised in Arkansas!
Blues Musician, Scholar, Bard, and an Avid Blues Iistener.
We need more people my age listening to real Music.
23 and I hear ya.
Let’s be clear! This is 1953! She is the original singer/writer of this song! Everyone else covered! Epic!
I’m awesome, how are you?
Great ! Born in 1953, I was…..Detroit. Lovin’ this !
Jerry Lieber & Mike Stoller wrote this song when they were 19 years old!
@honestmark9281 Bruh
"Let's be clear" and then states the facts incorrectly. She didn't write this song.
This woman could catch a fish without a hook!!!!
Bryson Mills Lol!!!!!!
This shouldn’t make sense but it does lol
Best comment of the thread.
I love t
and in a dry river in arizona or dubai
This is my very favourite version of Hound Dog. Big Mama was awrsome ❤
She wrote it. Actually, Lieber and Stoller wrote for her. She was performing at a folk festival and those 2 guys wrote the song on a paper sack and handed it to her. Mama and the band ad libbed the song then and there. Elvis heard it on a record by Big Mama.
Wow How did I ever miss this Elvis couldn't hold a candle
Hound Dog was written for her by two Jewish white boys named Lieber and Stroller.
Who's listening to this in 2021! Top-notch music!

I'm a white boy from Kentucky... I was born in the wrong Era. I love the old school blues. Big Mama Thornton touches my soul. What a set of lungs on her
i feel ya too bud.
You’re got great taste in music. I grew up listening to my father play her music. We loved her. This is just raw, PURE talent.
Why would you call yourself a whiteboy ? White man
@@jonclark3367 it’s a Southern thing. Like saying “I’m just a country boy” Jerry Lee Lewis use to say that. Just a figure of speech. I’m an urban city “girl” actually a senior citizen. It’s all colloquial. 😊
I'm a 5-foot white woman from KY I love it. never did disco.
Man if I ever make it to heaven these are the harps I wanna hear
Me too ! 🥰
This kind of music always gives me chills ! That’s real music right there , I love her voice
Most definately gave me goose bumps. All this time I thought Elvis Presley sang hound dog. This is classic material and real music being played and the voice is amazing.
When she started playing the harmonica and broke it down! I felt it in my spirit this is food for the soul baby!!!!
Me too, made me so proud to be black. How she lead those man its so amazing ✊🏾. Black women ✊🏾
It made me shake a leg too
Indeed!🙏🏽🙏🏽
@@andersonkevingwenhure2112 SAY THAT!❤️
Outstanding! Makes more sense when sung by a woman.
Yes indeed!!
Fantastic!!!!! Now that’s the real deal!
Well Elvis's cover is supposed to be what the woman is saying to him. Great song either way.
Exactly.
Yes it does.
The originator.
The original.
The one,
the only,
Big Mama Thornton.
Nothing can be finer than this.
I thank you.
More than 5 million views. Thanks to all watchers.🎉
When a black woman walk in and lays her purse down, you know that something bout to pop off!
THAT is the truth!
1965 I mem’ba ole Big Momma Thorton...I was 34 years ole...The late great Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin,stole that whole bringing her purse to the stage from Big Momma Thornton .#RESTWELLAdies
🤣🤣👍🏿👍🏿
And when she grabs her harmonica... You instantly know it's a weapon of massdestruction...
She did a second take on this that's even better (Hound dog take 2), and Buddy Guy, omg!
My granddaddy was her band leader real music
😎💥🌚🎤🎼🎹🥁🎷🎺🎸🎻🌆
Cap
Michelle Ervin What was your grandfather's name I said before this woman needs her life story told and of course your grandfather's name and impact would be mentioned of course.
Holy moly, how amazing ! I would have begged to carry this woman's bags ! She's a rock star x
@@dwightlove3704 There's quite a lot of her life story in "Rocking and Rolling with Big Mama Thornton," a chapter of Maureen Mahon's terrific book, Black Diamond Queens: African American Women and Rock and Roll.
Good Lord…There are,those,sent from Above, you’ve Blessed Us With. GOD is Great.
Hands Down THE BEST VERSION There is of this song. She is No Doubt THE BOSS!
I'm a white woman that grew up in KY. And Big Mama ❤️ Always played in our house ☺️ My whole family is Musicians. Mama Thorntons voice was my favorite. She gave me "Soul" 🥰
I still wonder why white people hate black people so much for no reason
Dope Things 🔥
I have never heard anything like this. It actually gave me goose bumps I could feel every bit of passion that she pored into her music
not even the more popular Elvis cover
Badass
Yea Elvis did good and all but he just didn’t possess the same soul that big Mama Thorton had
Real music, thanks for making this gem possible. Long live the BLUES.❤❤❤❤
The Blues - my favorite type of music and songs.
Big Mama Thornton..you make me wanna LIVE!
She was fabulous!! Wow! She is one of Janis Joplin’s influences. Now I see why.
ball and chains was orginally written and song by big moma thorthon in 1956
@@nettiegraham6983 Janis admired her,
Tina Turner was her influences
@@Dino-su2wh Guess you didn’t see the documentary or read the biography on Janis.
Rock and roll is essentially black culture. But even racism cannot kill this kind of soulful music. I love the guy strumming on the guitar! Beautiful
That’s a whole team of blues legends with her: Howlin wolf, little Walter , man to get to see a show like that
That rasist people what you call’d save this genre until today. No you.
That is Buddy Guy a legend!
There's life into these old classic music
big mama was a bad ass pure raw talent..an original,,
I get goose bumps when I listen to this woman sang!!! She's giving you something you can feel.
Tina Turner and I even never heard of big mama wow God bless
Beautiful black sound
Omg I was feeling goosebumps it’s been a while since I heard good music.
Awesome!
Evis could neva! Respectfully
There is more talent and joy on that stage than the last 10 years of music combined.
I love her style and charisma . Talent and charisma rolled into one ! Didn't even know there was a better version than Elvis and she is the original ! WOW !
bin>get.
She is not at all intimated by the male harmonica players...
love it!
2024
I love music
Regardless of race
Beautiful Saturday evening
Had to come listen to some good music
Only people with soul can sing like that.Her voice is so incredible and I can listen to it all day.What a woman!
Hello Helena
How are you doing today?
@@ThompsonSmith207I'm doing fine. How are you?
A movie should be made of this marvelous artist. This is great.
It really should, instead of Elvis. Or at least do hers before his. SMH.
Lizzo would be perfect for that role
Queen latifah would been perfect.
The way she starts as she’s walking on stage. Outstanding performance and what a voice and band.
My goodness, what talent!!!! God bless Black America!!!
God bless all women 😊
Came here because of Doja Cat and the new Vegas movie. So glad I learned about Big Mama Thornton. Will research all her songs.
Hound Dog was written by legendary lyricists Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, two Jewish white men. Big Mamma did NOT OWN THE SONG. She covered it just like Elvis did, and about a dozen other artists at the time. HER RECORD COMPANY owners were corrupt and run by two crooks -- Johnny Otis -- A white Greek dude who passed as a black man and Don Robey. Poor Big Mamma never got paid while her record manager became MILLIONAIRES. She made just $500 on that song Hound Dog. But that had NOTHING AT ALL to do with Elvis who opened a LOT OF DOORS for black artists such as Chuck Berry, Little Richard, James Brown and changed the WORLD. Once Elvis broke out EVERYONE MADE MONEY. (Sadly, super talented Big Mamma got dumped in the Chitlin circuit by her corrupt management and that's where her career ended. They stole a ton of her money... millions.)
@@depper sorry sir You have your history confused Elvis never put on nobody especially not Little Richard who is the innovator of Rock n Roll and all those artists you have spoken about came from Little Richard including Elvis Presley.
@@2LivePromo You are ignorant. " Elvis never put on nobody especially not Little Richard"??? Instead of talking like an idiot, do some research instead. Here is the legendary LITTLE RICHARD - "He sung my Tootie Frutti & by him singing it, made it bigger & made ME bigger" And then he said: “I thank God for Elvis Presley. I thank the Lord for sending Elvis to open the door so I could walk down the road...”- Little Richard
@@2LivePromo The legendary BB King proves you wrong: "In June 1956, Presley ignored Memphis's segregation ordinances by attending 'Colored Night' at the local fairgrounds amusement park. The following December, King was there as Presley opened up almost unbreakable racial barriers by attending and supporting the segregated WDIA black radio station's annual fund-raising event for 'needy black children' at Memphis' Ellis Auditorium. King wrote in his autobiography that he 'liked Elvis. I saw him as a fellow Mississippian. I was impressed by his sincerity. " -- BB King
"When he came to the Goodwill Review (the event WDIA fund raisers of 1956 and 1957), he did himself proud'. 'The Goodwill Revues were important', he wrote. 'The entire black community turned out. All the DJs carried on, putting on skits and presenting good music'. In his autobiography, King said he held no grudges because 'Elvis didn't steal any music from anyone. He just had his own interpretation of the music he'd grown up on, same is true for everyone. I think Elvis had integrity'." -- -- BB King
"'If anyone says Elvis Presley was a racist', charged B.B. King in the 2010 interview. 'Then they don't know a thing about Elvis Presley or music history. 'Many nights after we finished our sets and I'd go up to his suite', King stated. 'I'd play Lucille (on Elvis' guitar) and sing with Elvis, or we'd take turns. It was his way of relaxing'. 'I'll tell you a secret', King winked and laughed. 'We were the original Blues Brothers because that man Elvis knew more blues songs than most in the business - and after some nights it felt like we sang everyone one of them."
'Let me tell you the definitive truth about Elvis Presley and racism', The King of the Blues, B.B. King said, 'With Elvis, there was not a single drop of racism in that man. And when I say that, believe me I should know'." -- -- BB King
@@2LivePromo And finally... . " Elvis never put on nobody especially not Little Richard"??? Moron. Elvis CREDITED SONGWRITERS. And WAS CREDITED on EVERY SONG, on EACH ALBUM. EVERY SONG WRITER GOT PAID, and paid really well. Elvis credited every songwriter - on every album Elvis made without exception. Yes -- Including the black song writers that sold their music to Elvis to perform. Lieber and Stoller were two Jewish guys that wrote most of Elvis best material from the early 50s. Not a SINGLE STOLEN SONG. Most big stars had songs written for them. It was considered an honor to have an Ella Fitsgerald, Elvis, Frank Sinatra or a Nat King Cole perform a song that songwritewriters wrote. And no one paid black songwriters more than Elvis Presley.
Miss Mama walks out with that purse of hers and damn it, you KNOW she means BUSINESS!
deeway1963 hell yea
Amen Bro..!
deeway1963 That goes without saying.I think she used to carry a small pistol with her for protection?????
deeway1963 Lol! 😂Right?! As soon as I heard her singing (and she wasn’t even in front of the mic yet) and then set her big ol’ purse down I KNEW she meant business! 😳😍💪🏽👏🏽
deeway1963 lol alright now!
Everyone likes to call things "underrated" in comments, but the harmonica is definitely underrated and these musicians show us its true potential.
"You make me feel so good, you make me weep and moan!" That's what you do Miss Lady, Miss Legend of all Legends, you are awesome! I love how she carries her big ole bag (bolsa) onto the stage before she belts out the Blues! I'm forever in Love!
This needs to be part of the public school curriculum.
exactly!
i'm teaching it today ^_^
It is, I’m here studying this song and comparing it to Elvis’ version.
In my history we learned how Elvis stole this song from her... so I guess it is teached, just not often.
Zíł'ghaáh Most of Elvis hits were REMAKES
I LOVE BIG MA T...wow...she recorded Hound Dog three years before Elvis...(I think she sang it better)...she was the real deal. I wish a movie would be made about her life...what a treasure she was. RIP Big Ma the world still remembers you.
Sunshine Water I think JILL SCOTT could play her you agree??????
I think Queen Latifa would suit playing Big Mama Thornton
I can promise she is much loved where we live in South Alabama there is a mural of her in her birth town near where we live .Everyone around here adores her .My wife a lifelong music fan had the privilege of living in her home she lived in for a while meeting her on several occasions .She has hundreds of photos and autographs of her with music legends but the photos of her with Big Mama are her most treasured she has not been forgotten at all at least not down here
@@lowriderrookie me too!! She would be perfect!!
@@kennethmcdonald2987 wow! I gotta look that town up and come by there. Sad that she ended up dying broke and alone.
Congratulations to Big Mama Thornton on her long overdue selection to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the 2024 class. Incredible and undeniable talent.
This video is 8 min. and 24 sec. Start your day with this instead of mindful meditation. You'll be good for the rest of the day, facing what ever it brings, plowing through the hardship and troubles and appreciating good things no matter how big or small they might be
I’m proud to say she was born in Ariton, Alabama, where my people come from. There is a lot of talent that came from Alabama.
So much music and history came out of the Americana Music Triangle, home of 9 distinct music genres. It’s on my bucket list to go explore the area.
Levon helm!
The American south gave birth to plenty of wonderful music.
HOME GROWN talent!
Amazing
This many harmonica players each with their own signature sound... in one song is OMG!!! OMG !!! Just incredible... And Big Mama is ! A ! ma ! zing ! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
John Lee hooker can tell was not comfortable can see lol.. the rookie of the bunch
Was für ein Power,was für eine Energie und alles ohne Dro...n
Einfach super ❤
I love how calm and collective she is, standing there with pride and honor.

My wife and I were in a blues club in Montreal late one night, around 1978, and Big Mama & BB King came in and sat at our table. On stage was Phil Guy's blues band. Quite a memorable night.
Big Mama Thornton: respect!
Whew ! Talent ! She handled that harmonica with ease ! All of them did amazing. This is the song Elvis stole.
Yes it was 100% n don't let no one else tell you.
@@marysalvi242 look the song is about a man whore why would a man sing about another man being a whore
Hound Dog has been recorded by 250 singers/bands. Poor Elvis was the 10th to record it. He stole nothing from her.
@@tcblev601 He most absolutely stole it. Yes covers were popular at that time but when you build a whole name of one song that someone else did a million times better you stole
@@anxiousbehaviour4832 Elvis was more popular than any other singer!! She recorded this in 53 Elvis in 56. The song Elvis recorded had changed lyrics and genre from blues to rock. Elvis stole nothing from her. It was the version by Freddie Bell who was 9th to record it that Elvis liked and he did a cover of that.
Plain and simple this is why blues corses through my veins ❤
Amen for sampling music, without it we may never ever seen this video or heard this song.
They should do a show about her life story, they done one for Ray Charles and I think her contribution is as important and life altering. One of the greatest.
I'm for that,,,,Listen up Amazon prime Originals
Queen Latifah would be excellent
Ray Charles was a star with crossover hits with black and white audiences. Big Mama was fairly obscure, with a much smaller fan base. It would be hard to guarantee an audience for the movie. A doc would be great, though.
Loved the video such talent awesome!!!
It's 6:30 in the mornin' and I've got this blarring. I'm jumping and dancing around the kitchen. My nine year son is by my side. This has made my day and it's only starting.
Great hearing this. Glad you like it and made your day.

I like her Stage name ..." Big Mama Thornton ... ❤️
She blows a mean harp too ...but those vocal chords of hers !!!!
Whoa !!
In 1970 I had just turned 21. It was late in the evening on a hot summer night and my friend and I wanted a cold beer. We were on Yonge Street in Toronto in the entertainment district. The closest bar featured a band called "Motherlode" which had a minor hit on the Billboard charts. When we entered we found that a heavy cover charge was levied and we had little money. There was also a line up to get in. When we said that all we wanted was a beer, the man at the door suggested we go downstairs to a room where admission was free. We complied and under a dim blue light in a sparsely filled room we encountered Big Mama and she was singing her heart out. She wore a small 50s style hat with small feathers protruding at the front. In her last set there was a little boy about 10 years old playing on the drums...he was quite good for his age. I wondered whether he was a relative of hers or perhaps the son of a band member. Motherlode never enjoyed much success after that, but Big Mama Thornton has left her legacy in American music. Going downstairs was a great decision!
I’ve just discovered this lady and sister Rosetta on the same day ! And it’s only 11am ! A good day !
Stunning! Her voice is something I can’t explain, I get a feeling in my bones.
It's called hot buttered soul ❤
Its called the blues....you get it or you don't
Where are the Big mamas in our time?!!!! We need more Mamas!!!
You're a music lover aren't ya.
GREAT SONG GREAT PERFORMER R.I.P MISS THORNTON
As we all know, the song was written for her. But what she made out of it is very, very strong. That slow outburst of power in her interpretation of that song is amazing.
I could watch this a million times and never get tired of it!
I think I have already! 🤣
As God intended
I'll take this original over that Presley boy's cover any day of the week - ;)
I'm with you, Rick! The power in that voice is the TRUTH!!
learned that Big mama's was the original in my music class but I have to say that both have their own flavor. But nothing like Big mama's voice can shatter you to the bones

be careful disrespecting Elvis.

7 years later I still find myself coming to watch this video. So much talent 💕

Holly... Arsenio Hall had once in USA that show with all stars hi hop artists but this is the pioneering days all star blues. Glad to have had the the opportunity and luck to experience it. Art in its purest form. Art is when your heart gets driven and soul rises. Beautiful thing.
I know Elvis sat at big mama's knee and loved that music so much it was in his soul.
This is by far the best version. I wish it's on Spotify cos the original album version lacks the Bluesy punch.
It is on spotify
She used to sing it as a ballad until it was suggested to do otherwise.
@@Ashely56 This particular version? What’s it called?
@@MontaguStudios I looked up Big Mama Thorton and Hound dog and it came up under all the songs she has sung. Ir might have been put on Spotify more recently and that's why you couldn't find it before
I specifically came to UA-cam bc the spotify version is not nearly as soulful as this!
Then the harmonicas?? Holy shit 👀 my god incredible. These “artists” these days wish they even had a ounce of this woman’s soul & talent in their bones
I know right ? I was already impressed from the beginning, but my jaw dropped and eyebrows went up when those harmonicas came in! Like Holy...
Listening March 3rd 2024! I will never let this die !
Saw her in 1965 in LA, think it was at the Ash Grove, a folk club. In those days whites classified the blues as part of folk music. Also saw the Johnny Otis review about that time -- he would bring up one famous old R&B and blues star after another and have them do their song or two. Blew my young mind.
We’re did you live in LA?
Between Silverlake and Griffith Park, east of Hollywood.
wow!! This woman is cheering me up in the pandemic!! Feb 2021, London, UK.
all of us, even her in so-cal. plus is fake. Shh.
Here you can hear in his voice the screams of Robert Plant with Led Zeppelin in "Whole lotta love" years later in the seventies, also here you can see the influences that were exerted on Elvis, John Mayall, Janis, Beatles, Rolling Stones, and many others, You can think that without this wonderful music of these great musicians of color like her and many others, everything that we lived in the sixties and seventies musically would not have been possible.
I can see why Elvis was so inspired by the folks in his local music scene, thats a beautiful goddamn woman right there. Voice of pure soul right there
Its as of she is still alive and singing...this is much fun and we are all fortunate to see what came before us!
