Elvis Presley recording

"I've Lost You" was covered by Elvis Presley. It was released in July 1970, debuted at number 85 on the Hot 100 on 1 August 1970, and reached number 32 on 29 August – 5 September 1970. On the Cash Box chart, however, it reached as high as number 18. 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 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. It was also a top 10 hit in the United Kingdom where Presley's career was on something of a major resurgence, reaching number 9 for two weeks in November and December.
The song might be seen as reflecting the state of Elvis' marriage to Priscilla at the time it was recorded.
