Willie Mae “Big Mama” Thornton had a blues voice that couldn’t be ignored. Raw, thunderous, and unforgettable.
She recorded “Hound Dog” long before Elvis made it a hit. She wrote “Ball and Chain” before Janis Joplin made it famous.
But while the artists who covered her songs made millions, Big Mama was often left without credit. And without fair royalties.
In this episode of Actually History, we tell the story of the blues powerhouse whose uncompromising sound helped pioneer the rock & roll genre. At her height, Big Mama was at the center of American music. But history wrote her out of the story.
This is the story of the woman who influenced artists like Elvis and Janis Joplin, yet died nearly forgotten.
