The 1950s saw the birth of rock and roll, but these original songs might have been overshadowed by their covers.

Another of Elvis’s greatest songs ... but Nina Simone’s version featuring her sultry voice made it a 1950s hit. The jazz song also had a resurgence in 1987 due to a Chanel No. 5 commercial.

In my humble opinion, Elvis's best 1950s song is easily "Don't Be Cruel". It's catchy, it was a massive hit, and it is a joy ...
