 "Living in a House Divided" closely parallels "I've Lost You", a Top 40 hit describing the break-up of yet another supercouple, Elvis and Priscilla Presley.The couples were contemporary, both together approximately 10 years, with Sonny and Elvis each being more than 10 years older than their wives.The songs were released less than two years apart, charted similarly, and foretold the struggles that the famous couples were facing.
