You Give Me Those Feelings

"You Give Me Those Feelings" is a song written by Lynsey de Paul, and produced by de Paul and Jon Kelly. It was released as a single, with the B-side "Beautiful" also composed by de Paul, on Polydor[1] in August 1977,[2][3][4] as the follow up to the European hit single "Rock Bottom".[5][6] The German and French releases of the single both had picture sleeves.[7][8] The romantic song[9] makes clever use of vocal overdubbing and has a false ending making the shorter version more radio friendly that the whole song, which clocks in at over four minutes.[10] The song was play listed by a number of British radio stations.[11][12] It is listed as one of the songs of 1977 in their music of the year database.[13] "You Give Me Those Feelings" was recorded by Gracie Rivera,[14] who was based in Hong Kong but originally from the Philippines, as a track on her album, Grace Anne Rivera. It was released in 1978 on the EMI record label.[15][16][17]

Originally released as a stand alone single, de Paul's original recording was more recently released for the first time on CD as a track on her 2013 anthology album Into My Music.[18][19][20] The song still receives radio plays, most recently (7 November 2016) on CXCU Night Trax hosted by Professor Mike.[21]
