Canzone (Don Backy Song)
"Canzone" is a 1968 song composed by Don Backy and Detto Mariano. It placed third at the Sanremo Music Festival 1968, 18th edition of the Sanremo Music Festival with a double performance by Adriano Celentano and Milva. Overview The song was composed by Don Backy shortly before a clash with his producer Adriano Celentano, who was accused and sued by Backy for having allegedly altered the accounting of his record sales under his label Clan Celentano. Don Backy originally planned to present the song at the Sanremo Festival in a double performance with Milva, but, being his producer, Celentano had the final say about the artists chosen to perform his label's songs at the festival, and he chose to replace Don Backy with himself. Celentano's performance at the Festival was received by critics as half-hearted and lacking commitment, and was reportedly meant to be a spiteful snub to his former friend; during the interviews he also asserted the mediocrity of the song, declaring that its ...

I Got A Woman
"I Got a Woman" (originally titled "I've Got a Woman") is a song co-written and recorded by American R&B and soul musician Ray Charles. Atlantic Records released the song as a single in December 1954, with " Come Back Baby" as the B-side. Both songs later appeared on the 1957 album ''Ray Charles'' (subsequently reissued as ''Hallelujah I Love Her So''). Origin The song builds on "It Must Be Jesus" by the Southern Tones, which Ray Charles was listening to on the radio while on the road with his band in the summer of 1954, as well as a bridge inspired by Big Bill Broonzy's "Living on Easy Street". He and a member of his band, trumpeter Renald Richard, wrote a song that was built along a gospel-frenetic pace with secular lyrics and a jazz-inspired rhythm and blues (R&B) background. The song would be one of the prototypes for what later became termed as "soul music" after Charles released "What'd I Say" nearly five years later.
