Nov 18, 2008 - I've got the new James Taylor album Covers. he did this song pretty well. It's because i heard JT's version that I had to come check out the original version.

Nov 18, 2008 - the original was done by Big Mama Thornton in 1952, but this is a 1965 updated version she is doing.The 1952 version is available on youtube. If it is removed I will put it up myself some day.

Nov 18, 2008 - The original singer of Piece of My Heart was Erma Franklin, Aretha's sister. Although, Willie May Thornton was a HUGE influence on Janis Joplin. They performed together once in San Fransisco. Peace.

marctrainor Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - Just remember folks, that this is the woman who wrote this song, that Elvis made so popular, and Buddy Guy "ain't no slouch" either when it comes to blues guitar. I just want us to remember where even the "famous guys" like Elvis, got their stuff. Marc Trainor.

christopher2906 Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - No, it was written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller; 2 white Jewish writers. Elvis' version was based on one he heard Freddie Bell sing.

marctrainor Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - Hey, all you Elvis mashers and Big Mama mashers, let's look at the reality here. In my eyes, Big Mama did it first, she had a ton of soul, and sang her ass off, then Elvis did a more "rock and roll" version of the song, that I personally like, but they're two differen versions. Let's be fair. They both did a good job in my book, but by all means let's give Big Mama some credit for writing it and performing it first. Marc Trainor.

marctrainor Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - Ok, I gotta' eat "big bad crow" on this one!!!! I just went to the enyclopedia thing on Big Mama, and it appears that Liber and Stoler really did write this song. (Boy what a duo they were) so I was wrong that Big Mama wrote it, but I still say that we need to try and respect her for doing it before Elvis, but I personally still love Elvis's more "rock and roll" version of this song. Marc Trainor.

christopher2906 Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - Totally agree, different artists with almost totally different songs.
