Not the Kelly Clarkson song, but another with the same title:

“Because of You” is a popular song. It was written by Arthur Hammerstein and Dudley Wilkinson in 1940 for the movie I Was An American Spy.

A 1951 recording by Tony Bennett (Columbia Records catalog number 39362, recorded April 4, 1951) was the first major hit for him, reaching #1 on the Billboard magazine charts and staying there for 10 weeks. A cover version by Johnny Desmond reached #17 at the same time. [1]

In 1961 a recording was made by Connie Francis.
