The earliest recordings of "One Night" - by Smiley Lewis in 1955-10-25 and by Elvis Presley in 1957-1-19 (which has been issued only in 1983) - are credited on booklets to Dave Bartholomew & Pearl King. See about it also on Wikipedia. This should be the original version. No Anita Steiman here.
Anita Steiman as co-writer of "One Night" (together with Bartholomew & King) appears on the second, most known recording by Elvis Presley (1957-2-23, issued as single in 1958-10-21), and also on other recordings based on this 2nd Presley's version: by Mud, Dug Sahm, Bryan Ferry, Jackie Brown (all four so far haven't an AR with the work in MB) - see Discogs.com - and on Pat Boone's and Reid Jamieson's recordings (present in MB), both very probably based on the 2nd Elvis' version (these recordings are not present at Discogs.com, and the booklets of the releases are not available). This should be the Anita Steiman's version (it can't be called "Presley's version" as Elvis has recorded both versions).
The recording by Fats Domino in 1961-06-20 is credited in booklet to Domino, Bartholomew and King. No Anita here. It should be the Fats Domino's version.
But the BMI Repertoire credits this song (with recordings by Sonny Burgess, Fats Domino, Arlo Guthrie, Tom Jones, Albert King, Smiley Lewis, Elvis Presley and Gary Stewart) to Bartholomew, King & Steiman. (And this mysterious writer Anita Steiman appears here only one time - as writer of "One Night".)
