The original version was recorded on 01-03-56 by Little Willie John (King 4935).

Other versions:
14-10-57 - Ray Peterson (RCA 20-7087);
19-05-58 - Peggy Lee (Capitol 3998).

I don't any version can top Elvis'. It ooses sexiness.

The version by Peggy Lee comes more close to the version by Elvis.

Or perhaps Elvis' version comes close to Peggy's, given that hers was first.

Indeed, Elvis recorded the song with two bass players + 1 player on drums.
