Roger the Skiffler "I bet Big Mama Thornton is waiting to let him know whatshe thought of him giving Hound Dog to Elvis!"

Roger, they didn't "give" the song to Elvis. In fact, they were outraged that a white man got all the credit and money from the song that they specifically wrote for Big Mama Thornton. Her rendition is priceless. Read "Hound Dog: The Autobiography of Lieber and Stoller." They were a team who broke long-standing racial barriers in music.
