Elvis Presley sang the original version of the song entitled "Danny". It was intended to be in the 1958 film King Creole but was cut from the final release. It was featured on the 1997 re-release of the film's soundtrack. It was recorded several times in 1959 as "Danny", but became more widely known as "Lonely Blue Boy" after Conway Twitty's late 1959 recording and release after the lyrics were modified - recasting it as a song about a generic "lonely blue boy" instead of a boy named "Danny".
