A música I Got a Woman foi inspirada em dois cantos gospel tradicionais, indicando a influência dessas raízes na evolução da música soul. Ray Charles, o compositor, fundiu elementos do gospel com o rhythm and blues, criando um som inovador. Essa música, em particular, destaca-se por ser reconhecida como uma das primeiras a fazer essa fusão, marcando um momento crucial na história da música popular americana.
