Dale Hawkins Biography | 1950s MUSIC

Dale Hawkins - Little Pig (Live) (1958) Dale Hawkins’s 1958 Checker Records single “Little Pig,” the flip side to “Tornado,” turns the children’s fable of “The Three Little Pigs” into a swaggering slice of Louisiana-bred rock ’n’ roll. Hawkins, fresh off his hit “Susie Q,” growls through the role of the wolf, his voice taunting and sly, promising to “huff and puff” while the band drives a hypnotic beat. The track’s humor masks a darker edge—desire, danger, and rhythm merge into one pulse. Record
