The final Presley single of 1970 was released on December 8th. Two weeks later "There Goes My Everything" entered the "Hot 100" at number 56. It had a run of nine weeks and peaked at number 21. Both songs were listed on the "Hot Country Singles Chart" and reached number 9 and number 21, respectively. "I Really Don't Want To Know" also entered the "Easy Listening Chart", were it became a number 2 hit. In 1992 the RIAA honored the US-sales with a Gold Award. In total the single sold 1.6 million copies, which translates to 240 million paid streams. Compared to the previous single the sales had dropped by more than a million units. Today "There Goes My Everything" accumulates 3.6 million streams on Spotify, "I Really Don't Want To Know" clocks in at 1.2 million.

Because "That's The Way It Is" was shown in the cinemas, the cover was made up with pictures from the "Elvis Summer Festival 1970" and also promoted the movie. Of course the king's forthcoming album, from which the songs were taken, was advertised, too.

The single is not available on the streaming platforms, because the songs can be found on the album "Elvis Country - I'm 10,000 Years Old" (1971).

"There Goes My Everything" was written by Dallas Frazier and was first recorded in 1965 by Ferlin Husky. The following year Jack Green scorded a number one hit with the song, in 1967 Engelbert Humperdinck's version peaked at number 2 of the UK Charts. Elvis taped "There Goes My Everything" on June 8, 1970 and needed three takes to archive a satisfactory performance. The king recorded his harmony vocals on June 23rd, horns and strings followed seven days later. The background singers were recorded on September 21st and October 1st. The singer has to watch his wife leaving him. The melody is saccharine, the lyrics are on the kitschy side. Nevertheless Elvis performs the song in a believable way. In 1970/71 "There Goes My Everything" appeared in some of the king's stage shows, for his gospel album "He Touched Me" he recorded a religious version called "He Is My Everything".

Elvis recorded "I Really Don't Want To Know" on June 7, 1970 within four takes. Strings were added on June 30th, harmony vocals followed on October 1st. The song was written by Don Robertson and Howard Barnes and recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1953. The narrator dosn't want to know anything about the past of his loved one, knowing, that she had many affairs. The king's performance is very emotional. He's obviously in love, but also hurt and angry. On May 30, 1977 Elvis included "I Really Don't Want To Know" in his stage show, albeit just in a shortened form. A live recording can be heared on the double album "Elvis In Concert" (1977).
