Elvis Performs “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling”

Elvis Presley performed “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling” during his legendary 1970 concert series at the International Hotel in Las Vegas. The song was originally written by Phil Spector, Barry Mann, and Cynthia Weil and recorded by the Righteous Brothers in 1964, becoming one of the most successful pop singles of all time.

Elvis’s rendition of the song is a powerful showcase of his vocal abilities and his ability to connect with his audience. His interpretation is more stripped-down than the Righteous Brothers’ version, with a focus on his soulful vocals and a simple arrangement of guitar, bass, and drums.

Throughout the performance, Elvis’s voice builds in intensity, reaching a soaring crescendo on the song’s famous bridge, where he sings “Baby, baby, I get down on my knees for you.” His dynamic vocal range and emotional delivery make for a truly unforgettable performance, and the song has become a beloved part of his repertoire.

Elvis’s version of “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling” highlights his ability to take a classic song and make it his own, infusing it with his own unique style and energy. It remains a testament to his enduring influence on pop music and his status as one of the greatest performers of all time.
