Shonka Dukureh's version of Hound Dog

This singer was in the new movie about Elvis.  She portrayed Big Moma Thornton who did the original version of Hound Dog before Elvis. Shonka was only 44 years old and passed away suddenly yesterday.   

Her version of the song is worth a listen.  The drum beat and intro is wicked.

In this video, they talk about the Stones getting Wolf on TV, I often wondered how British Mick picked up some of his 'chicken dance' moves, he was sitting on the steps watching Wolf, sing and dance, could that be when Mick learned about the chicken dance? 😀
