-'''Don Rathbone''' (born October 1942) is an English former drummer. He was the original drummer for [[The Hollies]] from December 1962 to late 1963, and played on their first two singles before [[Bobby Elliott]] succeeded him in August 1963.

-Don was born in [[Wilmslow]], [[Cheshire]], England. He co-founded [[The Hollies]] in December 1962 with [[Allan Clarke (singer)|Allan Clarke]], [[Graham Nash]], [[Vic Steele]], and [[Eric Haydock]].Rathbone was a member of the Hollies when they signed and starting releasing singles. The bands song audition, a cover of [[the Coasters]]' 1961 single "(Ain't That) Just Like Me", was released as their debut single in May 1963 and hit No. 25 on the [[UK Singles Chart]].
-Their second single, another cover of [[the Coasters]], this time 1957's "[[Searchin']]", hit No. 12.
-Rathbone only contributed to two singles;<ref>{{Cite web |title=Don Rathbone |url=https://www.discogs.com/artist/5311179-Don-Rathbone |access-date=2023-02-11 |website=Discogs |language=en}}</ref> "(Ain't That) Just Like Me”, and “Searchin‘”, before he was replaced by [[Bobby Elliott]].
-Rathbone left the Hollies in August 1963 when their musical disagreements with him became too strong.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Don Rathbone |url=http://hollies.dk/member%20profiles/don%20rathbone.html |access-date=2023-02-12 |website=hollies.dk}}</ref> Desoite his short tenure with the group, Rathbone was featured as a member of the Hollies in two filmed performances, the first being them performing "Little Lover",<ref>{{Citation |title=The Hollies Little Lover Good Quality |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzqhQO_SoEw |language=en |access-date=2023-02-12}}</ref> and the other being the Hollies having a small cameo in the film "[[It's All Over Town|It’s All Over Town]]"<ref name=":0">{{Citation |last=Hickox |first=Douglas |title=It&apos;s All Over Town |date=1964-01-16 |url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0196648/ |type=Musical |publisher=Delmore Film Production |access-date=2023-02-12}}</ref>, performing "Now’s The Time"<ref>{{Citation |title=Hollies - Now's The Time |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DulCoAaEPBA |language=en |access-date=2023-02-12}}</ref>, which was released in theatres in 1964,<ref name=":0" /> a year after Rathbones's departure.
-Don was briefly mentioned in the Hollies speech, when they were inducted into the [[Rock and Roll Hall of Fame]] in 2010.
-During his time performing, Don kept a diary that time stamped all of his gigs. His first gig was at The Oasis club in [[Manchester]] on September 30 1962, and his last was at the Jungfrau club in Manchester on November 30 1963.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |title=The Don Rathbone Tour Diary – WELCOME… |url=https://dojotonepublications.com/the-hollies/special-features/the-don-rathbone-tour-diary/ |access-date=2023-02-12 |language=en-GB}}</ref>
-Rathbone's final show with The Hollies was during mid-September 1963 and although his replacement, [[Bobby Elliott]], became their drummer in August 1963, Don’s diary still continues to list shows, suggesting that he briefly still helped out to a degree.<ref name=":1" />
