I Got A Woman, a Ray Charles song, has it's roots in an old Gospel tune. Funny how that works. I Got A Woman is a song that I heard first on the movie "Mr. Holland's Opus". I thought that it was Ray Charles singing the song when I heard it. It's funny how songs get their start as Ray wrote this song while on his tour bus and hearing an old Gospel tune, "My Jesus is All the World to Me". He worked the song, having a Gospel and Blues feel within the tune. This was a bit of a shock in many circles, but it helped the song become more popular to a wider audience. While I won't give much president to Kanye West for his rendition using the sampled lick in his 2005 song "Gold Digger", perhaps Mr. West should find that supportive woman that Ray was writing about so she could help him out financially. Yep, I went there. I'm going to go ahead and own a mistake in lyrics that you'll hear on the song. When looking up the lyrics, I found a,..well,...I guess a different "version" of the song. There have been numerous instances where I thought the lyrics were one way, when, in fact, they were quite another, and I sang a different version. Man, I should have stuck to my guns,..sorry Ray. Only 83 days left... Lyrics: Well...
