1. Hound Dog – Elvis Presley
Time of Release: July 1956
The king of rock had to show up at least once, although not in his musical right, for “Hound Dog” was initially released by Big Mama Thornton. However, clearly, this version outlasted the original. It was released in 1956, making it the oldest of all the songs we have talked about so far, and hence why it takes the number 1 spot on our list of the top 25 best most famous classic songs of all time.
