I'm Leavin' - Elvis Presley

> Phew, man, it's tough, but the thing is worth working on.

I'm Leavin' is a poignant song that showcases **Elvis Presley**s emotional singing abilities. Despite its quality, the track only managed to reach **#36** on both Billboard's Hot 100 and Cash Box's Top 100 charts in the week of August 21st, 1971.

The poor quality of the singles released before I'm Leavin' may have contributed to its lack of success. Unfortunately, this singles flip side did not help the situation.

By 1971, his studio work had changed, and the A-sides of Elvis' singles were unimpressive. Only I'm Leavin' and the cover of **B.J. Thomas**' [It's Only Love](https://youtu.be/BdZ10CS5hPc "") were noteworthy, while the rest of the tracks were a sorry bunch for radio and retail.
