I GOT A WOMAN

 

Este gran tema de Ray Charles apareció en un single publicado en 1954 por la Atlantic.
Esta canción está considerada como uno de los más representativos prototipos del género rhythm and blues.
Es una de mis preferidas.
Cinco años más tarde, este gran genio llamado Ray Charles, lanzaría su mundialmente conocido What'd I Say, otro excepcional tema, quizás el mejor de todos y al igual que "I Got A Woman", versionado por la mayoría de los grandes artistas del momento.



Es una de las canciones más versionadas de este género, destacando entre todos los intérpretes a Elvis Presley, The Beatles, Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings, Bobby Darin, Adam Faith, Roy Orbison, Al Kooper, The Monkees, Ricky Nelson, Stevie Wonder, Johnny Cash, Them, Bill Halley, Tom Petty, Bryan Adams, Sammy Davies Jr. Johnny Hallyday, Ligthnin' Hopkins, y un largo etc......

Aquí tenéis la letra:

Well.........

Say I got a woman way over town good to me oh yeah
She give me money when Im in need
