SHAME ON YOU ROLLING STONE:
PART 1: @11"30: "Big Mama only made $500" WHY? Answer: BECAUSE Her's charted on the R&B charts ONLY. Presley's charted the Hit Parade POP charts giving it international promotion. No, not just because "people were more attracted to Him" & He was white.
1)Neither Black R&B ,or 'white' COUNTRY artists were promoted to the POP charts BEFORE Rock'n'Roll's Breakthru circa 1955.
2)Rock'n'Roll chaged all that.
3)Black BLUES artists like Thornton got left behind & Black Rock'n'Roll artists got promoted on RnR Movies & were already topping the Hit Parade by the time Elvis charted Hound Dog, in 1956, having Previously arrived in the POP charts & had His 'Breakthru' Hit with 'Heartbreak Hotel'.
Please address THAT next time you have this debate.
PART 2: @12"35: Pete guitar Lewis played on Thornton's 1952 original recording, not on the clip you show. MUSICALLY that makes a big difference.
Again, that's not the clip you are alluding to/playing short clip of ,or, previewing Album sleeve from.
That later recording has Buddy Guy on guitar. WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT? Pete Lewis' playing was badly out of tune , Buddy Guy's playing (1965 version) made a big improvement over Thornton's original record.
This is all important to how the success of the song came about from Presley's recording. Scotty Moore's guitar playing had a lot to do with the success of Presley's record. Moore's playing was innovative & ,musically, was light years ahead of anything on Thornton's original.
PART 3: @21" 45 "gross and skeevy(?) for marrying a teenager"
WHAT? Priscilla married Elvis 3 weeks before Her 22nd Birthday. She testified repeatadly She was a virgin bride. Where Elvis grew up many Girls LEGALLY married & started families as young, even younger, than Priscilla was.
AGAIN: She married Elvis 3 weeks before Her 22nd Birthday (Born 1945, Married 1967) She was a virgin bride.

thornton's version sold 500,000 copies in 1952. guess it would have been mostly black peeps buying it? weird to think of a separate music market for different races
up until 58 billboard had a separate category for "race records" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_R%26B/Hip-Hop_Songs#History. then consoidated with the "r&b chart"

Between 1952 and 1956, Hound Dog was covered 11 times before Elvis covered the Freddy Ball and the Bellboys version. With her parent's permission, Priscilla moved to Memphis just before her 18th birthday. Priscilla married Elvis when she was 21. Before 1970, it was the Southern custom for people to marry in their teens. Jerry Lee Lewis pointed out in an interview that he married for the first time when he was 13 and his first wife was 17. He married for a second time when he was 17 and she was 17. He married for a third time when he was 21 and she was 13. This was his marriage to his third cousin Myra. Myra was the granddaughter of his first cousin. Loretta Lynn was 15 when she married Doolittle Lynn who was 21. Elvis' mother was 21 when she married Elvis' father who was 17. It was scandalous in the 50s south for an older woman to marry a younger man so they lied on their marriage license. Gladys became 17 and Vernon became 21. If Elvis' relationship with Priscilla is discussed, why has Priscilla constantly promoted her ex-husband? She turned Graceland into the 2nd most toured house in the United States. It was her idea to have the London Philharmonic work with Elvis' recordings giving Elvis two more chart-topping albums in the field of classical music.
