Elvis Recording of “No More”

“No More” is a song that Elvis Presley recorded on June 10, 1961, during a recording session at RCA Studios in Nashville, Tennessee. The song was written by Don Robertson and Hal Blair, and it was released as a single later that year.

The song features a mid-tempo, country-inflected sound, with a gentle rhythm section and a twangy guitar riff. The lyrics speak of a man who has been hurt by a woman and is now determined to move on with his life, declaring that he will no longer be her “fool” or her “puppet on a string”.

The song was not one of Elvis’s biggest hits, but it remains a fan favorite and a testament to his versatility as an artist. Elvis recorded many songs during his career, but “No More” stands out as a heartfelt and authentic performance that captures the essence of his unique talent.
