I was listening to the radio the other day, Radio 2 to be exact, when Ken Bruce put a record on that just blew me away. It was a singer who I have never really heard of before but had the most amazing voice, The singer I am refering to is Mama Thornton, who has been dead for nearly 25 years who sang mainly blues stuff. I can't remember the last time I heard a record that really made me say "wow!" but I will be looking in the record shops to get one of her CD's.  

The record in question? Hound Dog of course.

I know the name. I seem to recall her as a big influence to Janis Joplin.
