Pat Boone's recording and 1957 hit record though came about because the demo was first sent to Presley's house where it lay unopened, in Elvis' words "with all the junk that comes there". This was revealed by Presley during the Million Dollar Quartet jam session of December 4, 1956, before Boone's recording came out. Presley cut a fast minute and twenty second version of the song with the Million Dollar Quartet, that then lay lost with the other Sun Records tapes of that session for 25 years.
The Beatles and Bert Kaempfert cover versionsedit
According to eminent author Mark Lewisohn in "The Complete Beatles Chronicles" (p. 362), The Beatles performed Don't Forbid Me on stage from at least 1960 and through 1961, which would have been in Liverpool and Hamburg, with Paul McCartney on lead vocal, but no recording is known to survive. However, their performance of it on stage in Hamburg is probably where big-band conductor, arranger, writer and producer Bert Kaempfert heard the song, as he had previously never covered a single rock song of any sort for his instrumental records. Thus, in 1961 the celebrated Kaempfert recorded a version of the song for his instrumental album, The Wonderland of Bert Kaempfert. Kaempfert also signed The Beatles to record for Polydor, backing their friend — and almost Beatle — Tony Sheridan.
