I Got a Woman fue inspirada en dos cantos gospel tradicionales, lo que muestra la influencia de estas raíces en la evolución de la música soul. Ray Charles, el compositor, fusionó elementos del gospel con el rhythm and blues, creando un sonido innovador. Esta canción, en particular, se destaca por ser reconocida como una de las primeras en hacer esta fusión, marcando un momento crucial en la historia de la música popular estadounidense.
