Guest Posted January 8, 2004 Posted January 8, 2004 I'm looking for a soul cover of the song "Feeling good" (composers: Newley, Bricusse sang by nina simone)... RZA sampled it on his album "Birth of a prince" 's intro... PLEASE HELP I sweared i wont sleep until i found it!!!!! thanks a lot
grant Posted January 8, 2004 Posted January 8, 2004 There is a great version by JEAN DUSHON. Not sure if released on 45 but I remember an LP by her called 'Feeling Good' - think it came out on Chess OR Cadet. Not sure about availability or value, keep checking out ebay, sure one will turn up. Hope this helps. Grant
grant Posted January 8, 2004 Posted January 8, 2004 BTW - The Jean Dushon version is on : - https://www.soulclub.org Grant
Guest Posted January 8, 2004 Posted January 8, 2004 that's not jean dushon's cover i'm looking for the track i need sounds a bit like James bond 70's themes unfortunately i haven't much information about the track, i only know it from the song "RZA - Bob n I"
Guest Kolla Posted January 8, 2004 Posted January 8, 2004 Click below for the real audio sample from the song Feeling Good Sample from Bob NI I'm still racking my brain to think who the hell it is...
Guest Posted January 8, 2004 Posted January 8, 2004 i've been spendin the night on it, searchin everywhere... still in vain but keepin on searchin!
Guest Posted January 8, 2004 Posted January 8, 2004 ...gotta ask rza... nobody in the world seems to know about this song except him
Guest Kolla Posted January 8, 2004 Posted January 8, 2004 Ok - I think it might be Ernestine Anderson - a great jazz vocalist. I don't have a copy of her version of "Feeling Good" but she's definately covered it and it sounds like her voice. errrr .... but that said, it also sounds like Carmen McRae, who also covered the song. Not being much help, am I. Sorry.
Mike Posted January 8, 2004 Posted January 8, 2004 What era/style maybe ads on telly be key nina simones obviouly then cover by muse was used on coffee ads, and sure was recently another version used..maybe edited: ahh just read the above posts properly, scrub the above was on another planet
Guest Posted January 8, 2004 Posted January 8, 2004 Mike - i've put up a link to the track (real audio) that "guest" is talking about. See above Kolla
Mike Posted January 8, 2004 Posted January 8, 2004 yep ... read before you post and all that try this its the carmen mcrae one clip
Guest Posted January 8, 2004 Posted January 8, 2004 doesn't sound like carmen mc rae.. i'm gonna try ernestine anderson
Guest Posted January 8, 2004 Posted January 8, 2004 Jean DuShon version is a bit faster, and not the same music... and also her voice sounds more like Tina Turner. So I don't think it's her. Keep searching... Antoine.
Guest Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 what a beautiful voice! "Feeling Good," is such an inspirational song for any intro.. I've searched high and low for it, but still can't figure out the singer.. I gotta give it up to the Rza.. he has samples like none other.. he's also crafted one-of-the-most witty and distinct sounds in hip hop, which shines even on those who collaborate alongside him.. But theres many remakes for this piece (Nina Simone, Bobby Darin, Muse, list goes on), so this one's surely hard to find..Nancy Sinatra maybe?? I'll keep posted, thats for sure.. ::bump::
Guest Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 grant jean dushon is available on a 45.bought it for my misses.its only cheap.think i paid about 8 quid for it. that versions from a musical "the roar of the greasepaint" its on the cadet label wayne
grant Posted January 13, 2004 Posted January 13, 2004 Cheers for the info Wayne, thought it was on Cadet but no idea of value, I'll look out for it mate. Grant
Guest Posted January 26, 2004 Posted January 26, 2004 Guest Also. Re Feeling good cover. I think I know the version you are talking about, because I am also looking for it and can not find it either. The version is really upbeat like hip hop. I think is was by 'a guy called gerald' , but am not sure. I have only ever heard it twice. One on MTV with a brilliant video. the other when I was at the gym. It blew my away both times.
Guest Posted June 9, 2004 Posted June 9, 2004 I am also looking for this song, the version i am looking for is from the six feet under commercial and can be heard at https://www.hbo.com/sixfeetunder/?ntrack_pa...category0_show3 Under the main picture there are 2 links a quick time and a real player, if anyone can tell me who it is singing the song i would really appreciate it. Thanks chris @ smtusa.com
Guest Kolla Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 from the six feet under commercial It's Nina Simone. The original is always the best!! Performed by Nina and written by Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley. This version was originally recorded in New York in 1965 (15 Studios NYC) - for her album, "I Put A SPell on You".
Guest Posted June 12, 2004 Posted June 12, 2004 With all this talk about "Feeling Good," I pulled out Jean DuShon's album. Wow, she does sing the crap out of that song. So sassy, so cutting. A great version. This cut is still very popular in clubs all over Europe. I see it on many playlists on European radio (on the Net).
