Feeling Good - Nina Simone (1965)

“Feeling Good“ (also known as “Feelin’ Good“) is a song written by Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse for the 1964 musical “The Roar Of The Greasepaint—The Smell Of The Crowd“ and has since been recorded by many artists, including Muse, Sammy Davis Jr., Bobby Darin, Traffic, Michael Bublé, The Pussycat Dolls, George Michael, John Barrowman, John Coltrane, Toše Proeski, Frank Sinatra Jr., and Adam Lambert. Perhaps the most famous version was recorded by Nina Simone, and first appeared on her 1965 album “I Put A Spell On You“. Simone’s version is also featured in the 1993 film “Point Of No Return“, in which the protagonist uses the code name ’Nina’ and professes to be a longtime fan of Simone’s music. At least half the soundtrack for the film featured Nina Simone songs. The song was also featured in the promotional video of the TV series “Six Feet Under“ (4th season), and is included in the show’s volume 2 soundtra
