“Devil in Disguise” by Elvis Presley is one of the standout pop-rock singles from the early 1960s, showcasing Elvis at the height of his polished Nashville sound. Released in 1963, the song blends catchy rhythm, smooth backing vocals, and a slightly darker lyrical twist compared to his earlier rockabilly hits.
Written by the legendary songwriting team Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman, “Devil in Disguise” features backing vocals by The Jordanaires and a tight production that helped define Elvis’ early-60s chart success. The song became an international hit, reaching No. 1 in the UK and performing strongly across Europe and the United States.
Lyrically, Elvis sings about discovering that an angelic-looking woman is not what she seems — “You look like an angel, walk like an angel… but I got wise.” The contrast between the upbeat arrangement and the theme of romantic deception gives the song its lasting charm.
The single was backed with “Please Don’t Drag That String Around” and remains a radio favorite, frequently featured on classic hits stations and Elvis compilation albums. Over the decades, it has been covered by various artists, confirming its place as one of the essential early-60s Elvis recordings.
Released in 1963.

“Devil in Disguise” med Elvis Presley er en af de markante singler fra begyndelsen af 1960’erne og viser Elvis i sin modne, velproducerede Nashville-periode. Udgivet i 1963 kombinerer sangen fængende rytme, smukke korarrangementer og et let dramatisk tekstunivers, som adskiller sig en smule fra hans tidlige rockabilly-år.
Sangen er skrevet af det berømte sangskriverpar Doc Pomus og Mort Shuman, og med The Jordanaires på kor skabes den karakteristiske Elvis-lyd fra perioden. “Devil in Disguise” gik helt til tops på hitlisterne i bl.a. Storbritannien og blev et stort internationalt hit.
Teksten handler om at opdage, at en tilsyneladende engel i virkeligheden er “a devil in disguise” – en klassisk fortælling om kærlighed og skuffelse. Kombinationen af den lette, næsten glade melodi og det mere bitre budskab giver sangen sin særlige styrke og gør den stadig populær på radio og til nostalgiske fester.
Singlen blev udgivet med “Please Don’t Drag That String Around” på B-siden og står i dag som en af de stærkeste Elvis-udgivelser fra 1963.
Udgivet i 1963.
