Program Notes

I Got You (I Feel Good) is a song by American singer James Brown. First recorded for the album Out of Sight and then released in an alternate take as a single in 1965, it was his highest charting song and is arguably his best-known recording.

I Got You (I Feel Good) is a twelve-bar blues with a brass-heavy instrumental arrangement similar to Brown's previous hit, Papa's Got a Brand New Bag. It also features the same emphasis "on the one" (i.e., the first beat of the measure) that characterizes Brown's developing funk style. The lyrics have Brown exulting in how good he feels ("nice, like sugar and spice") now that he has the one he loves, his vocals punctuated by screams and shouts. The song included an alto sax solo by Maceo Parker.

Of Brown's 91 hits to reach the Billboard Hot 100, I Got You (I Feel Good) is Brown's highest-charting song, peaking at number three.
