Format : Vocal Score
Originally recorded by Nina Simone on her 1965 album I Put A Spell On You Feeling Good instantly became a standard and has since been recorded by many artists including Muse Michael Buble Sammy Davis Junior George Michael and The Pussycat Dolls.The song was originally composed by Anthony Newlie and Leslie Bricusse for a 1964 musical sung by Gilbert Price. After the inimitable Nina Simone recorded an incredible version for her album a huge number of cover versions followed with Muse's attempt being voted the greatest cover of all time by the NME. We still prefer Nina's version though with the powerful emotion that her vocal performances are known for being unmatched by any artist before or since. This new arrangement of Feeling Good by Christopher Hussey for SATB A Cappella sounds just great injecting a new and fresh take on the classic through the four-part harmonies. This timeless hit is guaranteed to be a surefire hit with your audiences as a familiar tune is sung in a pleasantly unfamiliar way.

The life and good times of one of the world's favourite songwriters. If you've ever hummed a popular film or stage song from the mid-1950s on, the chances are you've been humming one of Leslie Bricusse's. The man behind songs such as Talk to the Animals, Goldfinger, Feeling Good, and Pure Imagination has been celebrated throughout the music industry. The result is a string of awards to his name, including a GRAMMY, a couple of Oscars (as well as ten nominations) and eight Ivor Novellos. Leslie's story of talent, determination, and a little bit of luck will take you on a fascinating journey from humble beginnings to dizzying heights. Over the years, Leslie has collaborated with a dazzling array of stage and screen stars, including Rex Harrison, Peter O'Toole, Albert Finney, Richard Attenborough, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Julie Andrews, Roger Moore, Liza Minelli, and Peter Sellers, and of course his sensational songwriting partnerships with Anthony Newley, as well as with composers Henry Mancini, John Williams, and John Barry.

The musical The Roar of the Greasepaint, the Smell of the Crowd gave us this bright two-beat number. It's a perfect selection for young singers to perform a positive message, add some choreography and the best part... play some kazoos! A terrific opener for any general concert.

A great take on a wonderful tune. Beginning at 130 BPM, Deutch's arrangement of Pure Imagination moves to double-time swing and then into a samba groove with solo space for piano and trumpet 4. The lead trumpet range is to written high E. Check this one out! (6:47).
