Etta James (born Jamesetta Hawkins; January 25, 1938 – January 20, 2012) was an American singer whose style spanned a variety of music genres including blues, rhythm and blues, rock and roll, soul, gospel and jazz. Starting her career in the mid 1950s, she gained fame with hits such as "Dance With Me, Henry", "At Last", "Tell Mama", and "I'd Rather Go Blind" for which she claimed she wrote the lyrics. She faced a number of personal problems including drug addiction before making a musical resurgence in the late 1980s with the album The Seven Year Itch.
She is regarded as having bridged the gap between rhythm and blues and rock and roll, and is the winner of six Grammys and 17 Blues Music Awards. She was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1993, the Blues Hall of Fame in 2001, and the Grammy Hall of Fame in both 1999 and 2008. Rolling Stone ranked James number 22 on their list of the 100 Greatest Singers of All Time and number 62 on the list of the 100 Greatest Artists.

Oh, sometimes I get a good feeling
I get a feeling that I never, never, never, never had before, no, no
I just wanna tell you right now that I
I believe, I said I really do believe it
You know I really do believe that, oh yes, wow
I believe that
Something's got a hold on me
Something's got a hold on me right now
I got trapped
Let me tell you now
I got a feeling, I feel so strange
Everything about me seems to have changed
Step by step, I got a brand new walk
I even sound sweeter when I talk
I said, oh, oh, oh, oh, hey wow
It must be love
Let me tell you now
Something's got a hold on me, baby
Something's got a hold on me right now, yeah child
Let me tell you now
I never felt like this before
Something's got a hold on me that won't let go
I believe I'd die if I only could
Sounds strange, but it sure feels good
I said, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh yeah, wow
It must be love
Let me tell you now
My heart feels aheavy, my feet feel light
I shake all over, but I feel all right
I never thought it could happen to me
But got me happy when I'm in misery
I never thought it could be this way
But I knew baby, that some day
I never thought it could be this way
But love's sure gonna put a hurting on me
I said oh, oh, oh, oh, hey wow
It must be love
You know it walk like love
Talk like love
I feel all right
Yeah, I feel all right
Lalalala...
I feel all right
I'm all right
I'm all right
Well something's got hold on me, child, and won't let go
You know it walk like love
You know it talk like love
Oh, it make me feel all right, yeah
Oh, it make me feel all right, yeah...
I feel all right
It makes me feel all right...
