The Two Dons were Donnie Owens and Don Cole, both artists in their own right and collaborators produced by Bob Taylor in Phoenix in that twang gang around Duane Eddy and his production team of Lee Hazlewood and Lester Sill. Donnie Owens was Duane's guitarist who had a hit on his own with "Need You." Bob Taylor, the early drummer on Duane's sessions, started doing his own productions of The Two Dons, Jimmy Dell and his own recordings of "Frankie and Johnny" and others.
