Ray Charles - I Got a Woman

I Got a Woman (originally titled I’ve Got a Woman) is an R&B song co-written and recorded by American R&B/soul musician Ray Charles.

It was released by Atlantic Records as a single in December 1954 but subsequently appeared on his 1957 album Ray Charles (later reissued as Hallelujah I Love Her So).

English rock band The Beatles recorded two cover versions of the song for BBC radio. The first in July 1963 and the second in March 1964.

Other notable artists who have also covered the song include Bill Cosby, Elvis Presley, Jimmy McGriff, Stevie Wonder and Toots & the Maytals.

The song was also sampled by American rapper Kanye West on his 2005 hit single Gold Digger, from the album Late Registration.
