I Got the Feeling

James Brown · 1990
Recording

Recorded for The New Formula at Soundworks Studio in New York City, with Today and producer Dr. Freeze. Stanley Brown is credited on related release metadata as associate producer. Issued in 1990 as one of Today’s key Motown singles from The New Formula, it extended the group’s run on the R&B chart and kept them visible after earlier crossover success. The track was promoted as a lead record from the album and received enough airplay and sales support to become a substantial R&B hit. The song later reached a wider audience through its inclusion on Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, which kept it in circulation well beyond its original release period. It remains one of Today’s most recognized recordings and a standard reference point for the group’s Motown-era work.
