(I Know) I'm Losing You
"(I Know) I'm Losing You" is a 1966 hit single recorded by The Temptations for the Gordy (Motown) label〔[http://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc19831/m1/ Show 50 - The Soul Reformation: Phase three, soul music at the summit. [Part 6] : UNT Digital Library]〕 and produced by Norman Whitfield.
== History ==
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 "rock-styled guitar riff (devised by Temptations road manager/band director Cornelius Grant), sharp horn section 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 No. 1 hit on the ''Billboard'' R&B singles chart, and reached No. 8 on the ''Billboard'' Pop Singles chart. 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, and in a duet with Diana Ross & the Supremes later that year, on November 19, 1967.〔(The Ed Sullivan Show: November 19, 1967: Diana Ross & The Supremes, The Temptations, Flip Wilson Episode Summary on TV.com )〕
