Elvis Presley is rightly called the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll. He is credited with 54 certified gold singles – more than any other recording artist ever! This coin highlights one of those songs that sold at least 500,000 copies.
Mystic has permanently bonded a vibrant image of Elvis to this uncirculated US Half Dollar. The coin features an original photograph of Presley from his estate’s official archives and is officially licensed by Elvis Presley Enterprises.
Don’t
“Don’t” was released in 1958. It became Elvis’s eleventh song to reach number one on Billboard magazine’s Hot 100 list. The song was ranked number three for the year by the magazine.
The song, like many of Elvis’s early Top 40 songs, was written by the team of Jerry Leiber and Mike Stroller. Working closely with Presley, the trio blended boogie-woogie, R&B, and rock to form a new and distinct music style. The sound defined Elvis’s early music style and earned him the title of “King of Rock and Roll.” In one critic’s opinion, Leiber and Stroller were the “most important powers behind that throne.”
Elvis recorded twenty Leiber and Stroller songs over the first ten years of his career. “Hound Dog,” “Jailhouse Rock,” “Bossa Nova Baby,” “Love Me,” “Treat Me Nice,” “Trouble” and “Loving You” all hit the Top 40. By 1965, Leiber and Stroller’s songs had been featured in approximately half of Elvis’s eighteen movies – including the theme songs King Creole and Girls! Girls! Girls! The duo was inducted into the Songwriters, Record Producers, and Rock and Roll Halls of Fame. Their 1956 collaboration with Elvis was honored when “Hound Dog” was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1988.
