I'm not much of a Ral Donner fan finding most of his stuff pretty dull or weak--or both. We never got his take of this song here since the Elvis version was issued as a UK 45RPM (b/w "A Mess Of Blues") and naturally was a big hit

BTW Elvis has the best version---but NOT the original version on the song. From 1959 this guy does (even weaker than Ral's)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QeSWsVzIgzo

Like many of his records Ral's remake of Cliff Richard's "Nine Times Out Of Ten" is pretty limp too

But one I DO like by him is the rockin' "I Got Burned" from much later (1963) on Reprise
