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 non-album single, with the B-side "Beautiful" also composed by de Paul, on Polydor[1] in August 1977,[2][3][4][5] as the follow-up to the European hit single "Rock Bottom".[6][7] The German and French releases of the single both had picture sleeves.[8][9] The romantic song[10] 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.[11] The song was well received by the press, with the Daily Mirror writing "Lynsey de Paul has written a slow, beautiful song, ideally suited to her voice",[12] and the record was play listed by a number of British radio stations.[13][14] It also was popular in some European countries, and is listed as one of the songs of 1977 in a German music database "Musik des Jahres 1977".[15]

A cover version of "You Give Me Those Feelings" was recorded by Gracie Rivera, a Filipina singer based in Hong Kong.[16] Rivera's version appeared on her third album, Grace Anne Rivera, released by EMI (Hong Kong) in 1978.[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] A different, updated, recording of B-side song "Beautiful" was also included on the anthology CD.[18][19] "You Give Me Those Feelings" still receives radio plays, most recently (7 November 2016) on CXCU Night Trax hosted by Professor Mike.[21]
