(I Know) I'm Losing You

Cornelius Grant, Eddie Holland and Norman Whitfield wrote "(I Know) I'm Losing You", which the Temptations recorded in November 1966 on Gordy, with David Ruffin on lead and Whitfield producing; it reached 1 on the R&B chart and 8 on the pop chart. Rare Earth's version was recorded in 1970 in Studio A at Hitsville USA, produced by Whitfield, and released as a single in July 1970 (Rare Earth R 5021, with "When Joanie Smiles" on the B-side), a single edit of 3:36; the album track runs 10:50 by the album page and 10:56 by the song page. Motown reportedly pressed the band to cover another Temptations hit, with Whitfield producing, to repeat the success of "Get Ready". Schlockmania calls it a grand 11-minute peaks-and-valleys epic with Funkadelic-style heavy jamming.

It reached 7 on the Hot 100, 20 on the R&B chart and 15 in Canada. Covers of the song include Rod Stewart with the Faces in 1971 (on Every Picture Tells a Story), the Undisputed Truth in 1975 and a dance version by Uptown in 1983, and Kanye West sampled the Rare Earth and Undisputed Truth versions in "Fade". We found no statement from the band on it, no video and no setlist.fm count, and could not tell whether our upload is the album track or the single edit.
