One of the songs that is forever tied to the rise of rock & roll is Elvis Presley's version of "Hound Dog." Originally written by Jerry Lieber and Mike Stoller for rhythm & blues singer Willie Mae "Big Mama" Thornton, the tune in its original incarnation was a modified rhumba, fueled on the original recording by an extended guitar solo from Pete Lewis.

Hound Dog Lyrics: You ain't nothing but a hound dog / Crying all the time / You ain't nothing but a hound dog / Crying all the time / Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit / And you ain't no friend.
