Introduction:
I Got A Feelin’ In My Body, a spirited rock and roll song, wasn’t released at the peak of Elvis Presley’s meteoric rise to fame in the late 1950s, but rather later in his career. Recorded in 1974 for his album Good Times, the track finds Presley still channeling the energy and charisma that made him a rock and roll pioneer. I Got A Feelin’ In My Body was produced by veteran musician Dennis Linde, who had collaborated with Presley on numerous occasions throughout the 1970s.
While not Presley’s biggest hit, I Got A Feelin’ In My Body demonstrates his enduring ability to deliver a captivating rock and roll performance. The song features Presley’s signature soulful vocals backed by a steady drumbeat, rhythmic guitar riffs, and a touch of bluesy piano. The overall sound leans towards a more mature rock and roll style compared to Presley’s earlier, high-octane hits, reflecting the musical landscape of the mid-1970s.
I Got A Feelin’ In My Body was not a chart-topping single, but it found a place on the Elvis by the Presleys soundtrack released in 2022, a biopic about the King of Rock and Roll. The song’s inclusion in the film introduced I Got A Feelin’ In My Body to a new generation of Presley fans, showcasing his electrifying energy that transcended eras.
Despite not being one of Presley’s most well-known recordings, I Got A Feelin’ In My Body is a testament to his enduring influence on rock and roll. The song captures Presley’s charisma and musical prowess, even later in his career, and serves as a reminder of his lasting impact on popular music.
