There are a lot of versions of "Hound Dog" before Elvis Presley did his

The original version of this thread was going to be a list of songs sung by Elvis, along with versions that were released by other people before him. For example:
Burning Love
Arthur Alexander 1971 YouTube
Elvis Presley 1972
YouTubeNice and simple. Not to say "this is great, this is terrible", or "look, he stole it", but just because it's interesting to compare versions.
But then I looked at Hound Dog and wow there are a lot of covers. I got most of these from the Wikipedia article, which is pretty in-depth about this song: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hound_Dog_(song)
So, here's a short list. I'd be interested to know what you think - I love Big Mama Thornton's version, I love Elvis's version, but I'm not that keen on any of the others here.
Hound Dog
Big Mama Thornton 1952 YouTube
Freddie Bell and the Bellboys (date uncertain) []YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJQ-fDb4M4s)
Elvis Presley 1956 YouTube
And here's a bunch more before Elvis did his version:
Little Esther 1953 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVUQ_lmoyJ4
Jack Turner and his Granger County Gang 1953 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AbAotf6ac0
Billy Star 195X https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZuDuuPWVL0s
Betsy Gay 1953 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNG-0L-mldc
Eddie Hazlewood 1954 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QN23peWBe3g
