New Release of James Brown Classic in Conjunction with Biopic

Berkeley, CA, July 25, 2014 (Newswire.com) - On August 1, Universal Pictures will be releasing the James Brown biopic “Get on Up.” In recognition of this event and for airplay in connection with it, acclaimed singer Victoria Blythe is releasing her new cover of “I Got You (I Feel Good)” as a single on August 1, in advance of her jazz/R&B/pop album "Silver Flyer," to be released later this fall. 

Blythe explained her choice of the song as a cover on her otherwise original album: "I love doing covers that are totally different than the original. The Godfather of Soul made "I Got You" an instant classic in his genre, but it's also got great bones for a performer like me as a slow-burning R&B ballad. (Bassist) Sam Bevan and I stripped it down and slowed it down, and we love the result."
