Some of Demetrius' best-known compositions from that era were co-written with Jordan's wife, Fleecie Moore, including the song "Ain't That Just Like a Woman (They'll Do It Every Time)."

For two decades, Claude Demetrius made a reasonably good living but in 1956 his income would change dramatically after he began writing for Gladys Music, Inc.

Newly formed by Jean and Julian Aberbach, the company owned the exclusive publishing rights to the music of Elvis Presley.

Demetrius topped off a successful year when he co-wrote with Aaron Schroeder the song "Santa, Bring My Baby Back (To Me)" which appeared on the 1957 Elvis' Christmas Album.

The timeless rock song was also sung by him on the 1989 HBO television special called Roy Orbison and Friends, A Black and White Night.
