I Feel Good

Performed By: James Brown

1965 Album: I Feel Good (I Got You)

One of Brown's signature songs, and arguably his most widely-known recording.

The song, with almost identical tune and words, had first been recorded and released in 1962 by Yvonne Fair, one of Brown'r back-up singers, as "I Found You".  Fair released several singles in her own right produced by Brown, none of which were hits.

Brown reworked the song three years later as "I Got You (I Feel Good)" and recorded it. The song was Brown's highest-charting song, peaking at number three.

Whoa-oa-oa!

I feel good, I knew that I would, now.

I feel good, I knew that I would, now.

So good, so good, I got you!

Whoa!

 

I feel nice, like sugar and spice.

I feel nice, like sugar and spice.

So nice, so nice, I got you.

(My Son and Daughter 2001)

When I hold you in my arms,

I know that I can't do no wrong.

And when I hold you in my arms,

My love won't do you no harm.

I feel nice, like sugar and spice.

So nice, so nice, I got you.
