This song was another step away from the group's softer records recorded with Smokey Robinson as producer, a change that Whitfield had begun with "Ain't Too Proud to Beg" earlier in the year. "I'm Losing You" features a much more dramatic arrangement than most contemporary Motown songs: a rock-styled guitar riff (devised by Temptations road manager/band director Cornelius Grant), sharp horn blasts, and the Temptations' doo-wop vocals paint the backdrop for one of David Ruffin's trademark raspy lead vocals.

As The Funk Brothers keep time with the song's James Brown-inspired beat, Ruffin pointedly accuses his lover of gradually slipping away from him. The closing vocal riff to the song's chorus had the other four Temptations call out an extended "losing you...!" shout in falsetto. The choreography for the line, with each member cupping their hands around their mouths as they shout the line out, became a Temptations standard.

"I'm Losing You" was a number-one hit on the Billboard R&B singles chart, and reached number eight on the Billboard Pop Singles chart.[2] The single was included as the anchoring track for the summer 1967 album The Temptations with a Lot o' Soul.

The Temptations performed the song live on the CBS variety program The Ed Sullivan Show on May 28, 1967,[3] and in a duet with Diana Ross & the Supremes later that year, on November 19, 1967.[4]

Cover versions [link]

  • Among the most notable covers of "I'm Losing You" was a 1970 version by Motown rock band Rare Earth for their Ecology album. Rare Earth's ten-minute cover was edited for single release, and peaked one position higher than the Temptations' original on the U.S. pop charts, at number seven.
  • The song was later covered by the Faces and released on lead singer Rod Stewart's 1971 solo album Every Picture Tells a Story (due to contractual restrictions, the name "Faces" could not be mentioned).
  • During the 1980s, on a Dallas, Texas-based Oak Lawn Records label, the song was covered by the group Uptown and transformed into an upbeat dance tune. This version achieved popularity at Dallas' famed Starck nightclub due to early play by DJ Rick Squillante and became a standard in many U.S. nightclubs, reaching the No. 80 spot on Billboard's Hot 100 in 1987.
  • The Jackson 5 also cover the song on their debut album Diana Ross Presents The Jackson 5.
  • Richie Kotzen ex-member of the bands Poison and Mr. Big made a cover in his 2008 album Live in São Paulo. But it was clearly based on the Faces version.

    I'm Losing You (John Lennon song)

    "I'm Losing You" is a song written by John Lennon and released on his 1980 album Double Fantasy. It was completed in Bermuda in June 1980, after Lennon failed at an attempted telephone call to Yoko Ono. The song is also available on the 1982 compilation The John Lennon Collection, the 1998 boxset John Lennon Anthology, the one disc compilation Wonsaponatime, the 2005 two disc compilation Working Class Hero: The Definitive Lennon and in 2010 for the Gimme Some Truth album. The song was also featured in the 2005 musical Lennon.

    Lyrics and music

    Lennon completed "I'm Losing You" in mid-1980 while in Bermuda after trying to call wife Yoko Ono but not being able to get through. His annoyance became a jumping off point for a deeper examination of the state of his marriage. The lyrics acknowledge that the relationship is in trouble, and Lennon admits that he has hurt his wife, but he also resents the fact that she won't let him live down his mistakes. He also claims that those mistakes occurred long ago. According to pop historian Robert Rodriguez, the candidness of Lennon's exploration of his feelings give the song a potency that recalls songs from John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band and Walls and Bridges. Music critic Johnny Rogan also sees similarities with songs written during his mid-70s separation from Yoko Ono, when many the Walls and Bridges songs were written. And Lennon has confirmed that although the song was originally inspired by his feelings over the phone call, it also expresses his feelings about losing Yoko Ono during their 18-month separation (i.e., his lost weekend) as well as other losses, including the loss of his mother, which was the subject of several songs on John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band.

    I'm Losing You (film)

    I'm Losing You is a 1998 American film written and directed by Bruce Wagner. The film starred Andrew McCarthy and is an adaptation of Wagner's 1996 novel I'm Losing You.

    Plot

    A melodrama of a wealthy Los Angeles family - and the journey each one begins after a death in the family. The title of the film refers not only to the loss of life and love, but to a phrase used by most Angelenos while talking on cellular phones; I'm Losing You... "I'm Losing You" follows the path of each character after a cataclysmic event: the death of Bertie's young daughter Tiffany, in an "accident". The family comes closer together in the wake of such an event, seeking to recover from a blow that has driven each one to near madness.

    (I Know) I'm Losing You

    by: Faces

    (I know) I'm losing you
    Your love is fading,
    I can feel your love fading,
    Woman it's fading away from me
    Cause your personal touch has grown cold
    As if someone else controls your very soul
    I fooled myself long as I can
    I can feel the presence of another man
    It's there when you speak my name
    It's just not the same
    Oh honey I'm losing you
    Can feel it in the air
    It's there everywhere
    Oh I'm losing you
    Can feel it in my bones
    Any day you'll be up and gone
    Oh I'm losing you
    It's all over your face,
    Someone's taken my place,
    could it be, that I'm losing you
    When I look into your eyes
    a reflection of a face I see
    Oh lord, I'm losing you
    I'm hurt, downhearted and worried girl
    Cause that face doesn't belong to me
    Your love is fading, can feel it fading
    oh away from me
    Can feel it in the air, it's there everywhere
    Ooh I'm losing you
    I don't want to lose you, but I know I'm gonna groove ya
    Ooh I'm losing you
    Your love is fading, can feel it fading
