From the thrill of a lifetime to its untimely end, all in less than six months… We are so sad to hear of the passing of Shonka Dukureh.

You may not know the singer’s name, you may not have had time to learn it, but if you saw Elvis you’ll know who we’re talking about.

The performer made her big Hollywood debut this year playing Big Mama Thornton alongside Austin Butler‘s acclaimed performance as The King.

She even got to share the stage with Doja Cat at Coachella. And her version of Hound Dog will live on forever on the biopic’s soundtrack.
