I've Lost You


"I've Lost You" is a song written by Alan Blaikley and Ken Howard for Iain Matthews. It was originally recorded in 1969 and released on Matthews' first solo album after leaving Fairport Convention: Matthews' Southern Comfort.
"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. 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.
In Canada, "I've Lost You" was a Top 10 hit. It peaked at number 10, and spent two weeks in that position.
The song might be seen as reflecting the state of Elvis' marriage to Priscilla at the time it was recorded.
