Crazy Facts About Music Everyone Should Know (Pt.181) #musicfacts #musichistory #musicshorts #shorts

Did you know? Plastic Bertrand did not sing on his first four albums, with the vocals attributed to Lou Deprijck, who received most of the royalties for the hit "Ça Plane Pour Moi." Elvis Presley’s famous song “Hound Dog” was originally performed by Big Mama Thornton in 1952, four years before Elvis, and Eartha Kitt was blacklisted by the CIA for criticizing the Vietnam War.

Good for Eartha Kitt! She wasn't afraid to speak her mind. Her beauty and honesty is sadly missed.

And Hound Dog was written by two white Jewish songwriters from Baltimore, Lieber & Stoller, who worked with Big Mama Thornton among others (they wrote a lot for the Coasters, such as Smokey Joe's Cafe).

Elvis didn’t write any of his songs. He only received writing credit because if he performed it, it was guaranteed to blow up. Basically, he got credit because he was Elvis

[danielbrannon]

I've heard and seen a LOT about A. Keidis lately. None of it is flattering nor respectable. Dark, douchy, and predatory things that make me want to never listen to RHCP again. I don't think I could listen and NOT be reminded of his deviancy. He's admitted to quite a bit in his autobiography. And there's plenty of video evidence too. I guess there's redemption for anyone, but I don't think he has an interest in doing that. He seems quite proud. Those around him enable him too, so ...

Elvis didnt write most if not any of his songs.

Anthony Kieidis's father was Blackie Dahmett, he was an actor, his most notable role was a bit part in Lethal Weapon, watch 9 Deaths of the Ninja, and all I'm going to tell you is he is the guy in the wheelchair, and watch the entire movie. His character is the best part of the movie. You owe me $5 each for this information

[VampsterCockedD]

Omg I remember thinking Catholic school girls rule was a little weird at the time now I'm like wtf dude.

[joshyork]

That's wild!!!! Love your shorts!!!

[josave]

Big Mama Thornton…I gotta double check now, but I think she wrote Ball & Chain too (Joplin).
And uh…how old was Kiedis?

[RobertSammons-xr]

Like Elvis Presley said himself I'm just a entertainer, but Big Mama Thornton did write hound dog it was Leiber and stroller.

[bjohnston]

So Eartha thought Ladybird was in charge of the American Military Policy during Vietnam?

[gopherb]

Ertha Kitt will always be catwoman to me

[stevewinwood]

Never knew that about Eartha Kitt. I've met several black pinup models from that era. It's crazy how much was stolen from them and other black artists.

Big Momma Thornton's original version of Hound Dog was far better than the Elvis version. She had originality and soul!

[Jeezuzisreal]

Talking about Lb Johnson's wife in the unnecessary Vietnam war that killed our boys.

[simalin]

I doubt anything was originally by Elvis except Lisa Marie.

[MatthewBaumgarten]

Wow 😮 and this whole Time I thought ZZ Top was the original group to perform “Hound Dog” in their “ Fandango” album, I’m glad I watched this episode

[MosaidDeath]

I hope Anthony Keitis did at least a few years in prison for that.

[McMillanScottish]

Keidis and crew are way worse than that. At least a couple of them should be in jail.
