no no nope, c'mon man. Ral Donner is one of the greatest late 50's-early 60's rock singers ever, just a notch short of a HOF'er like DION. for reals. guy has a great sounding voice, great phrasing, tons of great material. his recorded work 1959-1964 is so far beyond the number of good tracks Elvis cut it's ridic (and Elvis greatest Hits Vol. 3 w/the two-sided monster His Latest Flame/Little Sister has always been one of my favorite albums of all time)
RAL DONNER WAS GREAT, BUT, HIS DOWNFALL WAS TRYING TO BE TOO MUCK LIKE ELVIS IN EVERY ASPECT OF THE KING ! OH WELL, HE HAD SOME COOL SONGS & THEY NEVER PLAY THEM ? OR GIVE HIM VERY MUCH CREDIT? THAT'S A SHAME !
He was the voice of Elvis in "This is Elvis". Before that he released an Album called "I've been away for awhile now", on which he tells Elvis life story and sings a lot of Elvis Songs! Accompanied by The Jordanaires, Scotty Moore and DJ Fontana. Now and then this Double LP is offered for sale at the American Ebay.

More to the point - Devil in disguise is Elvis being a Ral Donner soundalike.

Donner never went for the imitation thing. He just happened to have a similiar voice and style. Way better than clowns like Proby.
