Billy Swan - Don't be cruel 1975
You know I can be found,
I'm sittin' home all alone
If you can't come around,
at least on the telephone
Don't be cruel
to a heart that's true
Baby, if I made you mad
with somethin' that I might have said
Please, let's forget the past,
for future looks bright ahead
Don't be cruel
to a heart that's true
I don't want no other lover,
baby, it's just you I'm thinking of
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true
Let's walk up to the preacher
and let us say "I do"
Then you'll know you have me
and I know, I'll have you too
Don't be cruel
to a heart that's true.
Why should we be apart?
I really love you, baby
Cross my heart, cross my heart,
cross my heart, cross my heart
cross my heart
This is minimalist drone-pop at its absolute finest!!!

Just compare what Elvis did with "I can help". The difference is clear.Billy Swan is a great singer/writer, Elvis is the king

@MrJommycross indeed, great cover! but looks like some ppl here think a cover should be copy/paste like the original version. I don't feel like that at all, and from this point of view i'd say this is the best cover of this song by far. Thank you fritz5139 for uploading this!

I am a big Elvis fan. I was singing Hound Dog to my first grade class in "56. This is the best cover of "Don't Be Cruel". Hands down...

I'm a HUGE Elvis Presley fan, this isn't THAT good a cover, but it's ok, i'll say.
