"(You're the) Devil in Disguise" is a 1963 single by Elvis Presley. It was written by Bill Giant, Bernie Baum, and Florence Kaye and was published by Elvis Presley Music in June 1963. The song peaked at No. 3 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 on August 10, 1963, and No. 9 on the Billboard Rhythm and Blues chart, becoming his final top-ten single on the Rhythm and Blues chart.[1] The song also topped Japan's Utamatic (Nihon Goraku Bussan) record chart in the fall of 1963.Script error: No such module "Unsubst". The single was certified gold by the RIAA for sales in excess of 500,000 units in the US.

In June 1963, when the song was debuted to a British audience on the BBC television show Juke Box Jury, celebrity guest John Lennon voted the song "a miss", opining that Presley had become "like Bing Crosby". The song subsequently peaked at No. 1 on the UK singles chart for one week.[2]

Bill Porter engineered the recording session on May 26, 1963, at RCA Studios in Nashville. "(You're the) Devil in Disguise" and its B-side "Please Don't Drag That String Around" were recorded for a full-length album that was scheduled for release in 1963, but RCA Records chose instead to release the material on non-album singles and soundtrack albums.[3] The recording later appeared on the 1968 compilation album Elvis' Gold Records Volume 4.
