  • Thank God for Youtube. You would never see this on the crap they call cable TV.

  • Looking at this clip Big Mama looked in bad shape and her voice isn't the same as it once was but this woman over a 30 plus year period made some of the best blues you would ever hear and it's unfortunate she never got the acolaides she deserved while she was alive.

  • Probably hated that Elvis got all the credit for her song... so wrong

  • april 14th? Thats my birthday..wow...

  • Je me demande bien où vous avez réussi à pêcher cette perle ! s'agit-il d'un DVD pirate ? Si oui ou non, où puis-je le trouver ? Merci bien ;)

  • what a voice

  • @quietstorm1922 - Yes, you're probably right. I am sorry that I assumed that she was drunk when she was quite possibly battling against her health issues. I was listening to her music again yesterday - her voice was strong to the end.

  • @GODHATESWBC i believe she is sick..at this point her health had depreciated greatly maybe due to years of hard living and heavy drinking...but I dont think she was drunk here..I believe she was very sick as this appears to be the later years of her life..if she is drunk she was one heck of a performer..

  • @GODHATESWBC i believe she is sick and not drunk..at this point her health had depreciated greatly maybe due to years of hard living and heavy drinking...but I dont think she was drunk here..I believe she was very sick as this appears to be the later years of her life..if she is drunk she was one heck of a performer..

  • She is wonderful but I cannot feel sad watching this footage - she is so drunk she can hardly stand and when you consider she is only 56/57 at this point, it is tragic .... xx

  • she is SO great!!!! its so sad thats she's hase past away... i love that woman!!!

  • She lost all kinds of weight before this one. They didn't call her big mama for nothing! She was the girl in her hey day, though. . . RIP
