"I've Lost You" was covered by Elvis Presley. It was released in July 1970, debuted at #85 on the Hot 100 on 1 August 1970, and reached #32 on 29 August – 5 September 1970.[1] On the Cash Box chart, however, it reached as high as number 18.[2] It also charted at number five on the Adult Contemporary chart. The song became a gold record.
As a newly released single, Presley included it in his setlist during his third Las Vegas season (August/September 1970) and the version from 12 August Dinner Show was included in the MGM movie Elvis: That's the Way It Is.
In Canada, "I've Lost You" was a Top 10 hit. It peaked at number 10, and spent two weeks in that position.[3]
The song might be seen as reflecting the state of Elvis' marriage to Priscilla at the time it was recorded (4 June 1970 [4]). [5]
