I'll Be Gone is a song by Australian progressive rock group Spectrum.The song was released in Australia through EMI in February 1971. It was written by Guitarist and Vocalist with the group, Mike Rudd and produced by Howard Gable.

The song's highest chart position on the national Top 40 was number one, while it reached Top 5 in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. Unfortunately Spectrum would never ever repeat the success of "I'll Be Gone.

In 1984 Australian Country Music singer John Williamson, paid tribute to the song by recording his own version, a version which kept the originality but also suited his own brand of country music.

Several other versions of I'll Be Gone have been recorded by artists including Colleen Hewett, Margret RoadKnight and Manfred Mann's Earth Band. The latter was released, along with I'll Be Gone's B side Launching Place Part II, on Manfred Mann's Earth Band's 1974 LP The Good Earth.

Since its release more than 30 years ago, the song has become an FM Radio staple, evidence has recently been provided with the 4MMM "Essential 2006" countdown of listeners favourite songs of all time, I'll Be Gone came in at a very complimentary 331.
