Feeling Good
First released in 1965 · Album: I Put a Spell on You
Feeling Good is Nina Simone’s interpretation of the Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse song, recorded for her 1965 album I Put a Spell on You. The recording credits Hal Mooney as arranger and producer.
A near-unaccompanied opening gives the voice space before the full arrangement enters. The contrast between that exposed beginning and the heavier rhythmic backing makes the song’s declaration of renewal increasingly emphatic.
