Here is my instrumental cover of "Don't" which was recorded in 1958 by the legendary singer Elvis Presley. It was written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller and was Presley's eleventh number one hit in the United States. "Don't" also peaked at number four on the R&B charts. Billboard ranked the ballad as the No. 3 song for 1958.
I played this using my Fender Stratocaster (Bridge Pickup) and the Zoom G2.1Nu with Echoes From The Past (EFTP Patch A9). Recording was done via USB to my home PC with Cubase.
The backing track was from Karaoke Version and is based on the recording with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra as featured on the 2016 album "The Wonder Of You". It is available for purchase here - www.karaoke-ve...
Special thanks to Ger Sanders for inspiring me to record this and also for his excellent tablature
I hope you enjoy my version of this classic song
LYRICS:
Don't (Don't)
Don't (Don't)
That's what you say
Each time that I hold you this way
When I feel like this and I want to kiss you
Baby, don't say don't
Don't (Don't)
Don't (Don't)
Leave my embrace
For here in my arms is your place
When the night grows cold and I want to hold you
Baby, don't say don't (Don't, don't, don't, don't)
If you think that this is just a game
I'm playing
If you think that I don't mean
Every word I'm saying
Don't (Don't)
Don't (Don't)
Don't feel that way
I'm your love and yours I will stay
This you can believe
I will never leave you
Heaven knows I won't
(Don't)
Baby, don't say don't
(Don't, please, don't)
