The King of Rock and Roll released "It's Now or Never." The song was a career-defining hit, released shortly after his tour of service for the United States Army concluded.
Gold and Schroeder came up with "It's Now or Never." The song would become a worldwide smash, per the Elvis History Blog, and reach the pinnacle of Billboard's charts in August 1960.
The song did more than become a worldwide hit; it changed the life of a future soul superstar who was spending time in a juvenile detention center for his crimes. American Songwriter reported that, as a young man, Barry White spent four months in jail after stealing $30,000 worth of Cadillac tires.

"The song? ‘It’s Now Or Never’. It became my personal message, meant only for me. ‘Stop wasting your time, Barry,’ it said. ‘When you get out, you better change your ways. It’s now or never.’ I sat up in my cell bed, and right then, and there took an oath that I would do just that—change my life.”
White stayed true to his promise. He turned his life around and began a career in the music business, recording some of the best soul songs of a generation.
