Brenda Mae Tarpley (born December 11, 1944), known as Brenda Lee, is an American performer who sang rockabilly, pop and country music, and had 37 US chart hits during the 1960s, a number surpassed only by Elvis Presley, The Beatles, Ray Charles and Connie Francis. She is best known for her 1960 hit "I'm Sorry", and 1958's "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree", a US holiday standard for more than 50 years.
Her last top ten single on the pop charts was 1963's "Losing You" (No. 6)

Carl Sigman was far from a one-time hit composer.  He was born in September of 1909 in New York in Brooklyn.  He started off studying law – receiving his degree – but was persuaded by writer – singer Johnny Mercer to turn back to his love of music composition.

Carl Sigman passed away on September 26th, 2000 at the age of 91 – working in music right up until his death.

This is an adaptation of the French song "Connais-tu" written by Jean Renard and Pierre Havet. Carl Sigman penned the English version, which was originally recorded by Brenda Lee for her 1963 album Let Me Sing.
Artists that have covered the tune include Doris Day for her 1963 album, Love Him and Al Martino as part of a 1964 EP.
This was one of two Brenda Lee songs that Alison Krauss covered for her 2017 collection, Windy City - she also recorded "All Alone Am I."

"I always think that people are attached to the music of their parents' youth, " Krauss explained. "You see a lot of people who kinda go back to that period and they have a romance about it. There's just something past our own memory that makes us connect."

“Losing You” was a two-step project between French composer Jean Gaston Renard and American composer of note – Carl Sigman, who did not work together on this song. Renard composed the melody to “Connais-tu” in 1960 – This translates to “Do You Know” in French. Sigman came along in 1963 and wrote English lyrics bringing his magic to the recording, resulting into a fantastic haunting song as delivered by the 19 year old Lee, who at the point in time and already charted 27 times!

Lyrics

Don't sigh a sigh for me
Don't ever cry for me
This is goodbye for me
I know we're through I'm losing you

Love sung it's song for me
Then things went wrong for me
Nights are too long for me
Because I'm losing you

Our love and our devotion
Were deep as any ocean
Then one day like the tide
You began to change
And you became a perfect stranger

Someone is holding you
Sharing the lips I knew
I can't believe it's true
That I am losing you

I can't believe it's true
That I am losing you
