Don’t – Elvis Presley
“Don’t” is a rock and roll song recorded by Elvis Presley in 1957. It was written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, the same songwriting duo who wrote some of Elvis’s other hits, such as “Hound Dog” and “Jailhouse Rock”.
The song features Elvis’s signature vocal style, with a powerful and emotive delivery that perfectly captures the lyrics’ sense of urgency and frustration. The song’s lyrics tell the story of a man pleading with his lover not to end their relationship, begging her to reconsider and give him another chance.
Musically, “Don’t” features a driving rhythm and a catchy guitar riff that has become one of Elvis’s most recognizable musical motifs. The song was a major hit for Elvis, reaching number one on the Billboard Pop Singles chart and becoming one of his most popular songs.
“Don’t” has since become a classic in the rock and roll genre and has been covered by numerous artists over the years. The song’s timeless appeal and Elvis’s iconic performance have helped to cement it as one of the most enduring and beloved songs in the history of popular music.

Even though I am not a big hugh fan of Elvis, this is not the 1st time I have heard this song, but I am 72 so I did hear it a lot growing up. And, yes, he was and is a great singer.
