I Got a Woman

I Got a Woman was inspired by two traditional gospel songs, showcasing the influence of these roots in the evolution of soul music. Ray Charles, the composer, blended elements of gospel with rhythm and blues, creating an innovative sound. This song, in particular, stands out for being recognized as one of the first to make this fusion, marking a crucial moment in the history of American popular music.
