Country rather than R&R but...
Joe Carson - "The Last Song I'm Ever Gonna Sing" (1963)
One of the lost masterpieces of country music, a surprisingly early anti-Nashville piece (6 yrs before "Lodi") written by Crickets Jerry Allison and Sonny Curtis. Curtis himself cut it soon afterward, as did The Everly Brothers. But this version is definitive, Carson perfectly capturing the pathetic sense of disappointment in the lyrics.
Carson is one of country's great might-have-beens. A few months after this record's release he was killed in a car wreck at age 27.
FWIW producer Tommy Allsup is the guy who lost a coin toss and gave up his seat on the plane to Ritchie Valens.

There's debate on this one because of the obvious drug angle, but I like to think at least one part fits here.

Because of the popularity of the music video, I'm sure everyone's Dire Straits go to on this topic would be money for nothing. But that wasn't their first song on the topic...
Dire Straits - Sultans of Swing...
