Le clip du soir : Jimi Hendrix

« Hound Dog » is a twelve-bar blues written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller and originally recorded by Willie Mae « Big Mama » Thornton in 1952. Other early versions illustrate the differences among blues, country, and rock and roll in the mid 1950s. The 1956 remake by Elvis Presley is the best-known version; it is his version that is #19 on Rolling Stone’s list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.[3] « Hound Dog » was also recorded by 5 country singers in 1953 alone, and over 26 times through 1964.[4] From the 1970s onward, the song has appeared, or is heard, as a part of the soundtrack in numerous motion pictures, most notably in blockbusters such as American Graffiti, Grease, Forrest Gump, Lilo & Stitch, A Few Good Men, and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. en.wikipedia.org/Hound-Dog
