It's A Good Feeling
Joe Bataan Lyrics
Everybody is doing it. That's right!
Everybody is doing it. In Vietnam too
It's a good good feeling
When you're down and ought to know
That someone's standing back
Say baby give it up and try again
You could make it if you try
Someone to encourage you
When you let you turn around
To take your hand and understand
That when it's up it's up
And when it's down it's down
To know your baby's love is true
That's the feeling i've got for you
It's a good good feeling
That I feel inside
It's a good good feeling
Much too good to hide
When you're far away from someone
And you're feeling lonely
To know that person's feelings
Is just as lonely for you only
You know your lonely is out of share
But someone you have done
You've got to share everything
'Cause what's yours is theirs
What's theirs is yours
Little things are meaning a lot
For you is the feeling that I've got
It's a good good feeling
That I feel inside
It's a good good feeling
Much too good to hide
When your problems get solved
There's no way that you can't see
I hope that I can do it for you
Just the way I would be done it for me
I rescue you from whatever
Put the tear in your eyes
'Cause anything I'd ask for you
What you can to do?
What you can to try?
I want you to know my love is true
And that's the feeling I've got for you
It's a good good feeling
That I feel inside
It's a good good feeling
Much too good to hide

No recording artist has more impeccable street credentials than Joe Bataan, the originator of the New York Latin Soul style that paralleled Latin boogaloo and anticipated disco. His musical experience began with street corner doo-wop in the 1950s, and came to include one of the first rap records to hit the charts, 1979's "Rap-O, Clap-O". In between these milestones, he recorded classic albums like St. Latin's Day Massacre, a perennial favorite in the salsa market Read Full BioNo recording artist has more impeccable street credentials than Joe Bataan, the originator of the New York Latin Soul style that paralleled Latin boogaloo and anticipated disco. His musical experience began with street corner doo-wop in the 1950s, and came to include one of the first rap records to hit the charts, 1979's "Rap-O, Clap-O". In between these milestones, he recorded classic albums like St. Latin's Day Massacre, a perennial favorite in the salsa market, Salsoul, which gave the record label its name and helped spark the national explosion of urban dance music, and Afrofilipino, which included one of the very earliest New York disco hits, an instrumental version of Gil Scott Heron's "The Bottle".
Born Peter Nitollano, of African-American/Filipino parents, Joe Bataan grew up in Spanish Harlem, where he ran with Puerto Rican gangs and absorbed R&B, Afro-Cuban and Afro-Rican musical influences. His music career followed a pair of stints in Coxsackie State Prison. Self taught on the piano, he organized his first band in 1965 and scored his first recording success in 1967 with "Gypsy Woman" on Fania Records, . The tune was a hit with the New York Latin market despite the English lyrics sung by Joe, and exemplified the nascent Latin Soul sound. In early anticipation of the disco formula, "Gypsy Woman" created dance energy by alternating what was fundamentally a pop-soul tune with a break featuring double timed hand claps, . Joe would take this tendency even further on his influential Salsoul, which fused funk and latin influences in slick yet soulful orchestrations. Salsoul remains influential as a rare groove cult item, but pointed to the future at the time of its release. The LP embodied the artist's highly deliberate and culturally aware musical concept. Bataan theorized the '70s next big thing as a hybrid: an Afro Cuban rhythm section playing Brazilian influenced patterns over orchestral funk. In many ways, his vision was on the money, though most of the money would go to others, and mainstream stardom would elude him. He did, however, get in on the ground floor of the new trend as an early hit maker. His biggest commercial move was a Salsoul production released under the Epic umbrella, and promoted to the new disco market as Afrofilipino, which included 1975's "The Bottle", a much anthologized classic that drives an R&B horn arrangment with a relentless piano montuno.
Always in touch with the street, Joe Bataan picked up on rap very early in the game. His minor rap hit, "Rap-O, Clap-O" was a bit more successful in Europe than in the States, and is remembered as rap's debut in the European market. Nevertheless, his legacy remains his gritty and realistic Latin soul lyrics, his self identification as an "Ordinary Guy", and his highly personal and prophetic merger of Latin and soul influences.

Good Good feeling
When you're down and out do know there’s someone standing by
Saying baby get up
And try it again
You can make it if you try
Someone to encourage you when you’re ready to turn around
To take your hand and understand
That when you’re up you’re up and when you’re down you’re down
To know your baby’s love is true
That’s the feeling I get from you
And it’s a good, good feeling
That I feel inside
Good, good feeling
Much too good to hide
When you’re far away from someone
And you’re feeling lonely
To know that person’s feeling just as lonely for you only
To know your lonely hours are shared
By someone you adore
And that you share in everything
‘Cause what’s yours is theirs and what’s theirs is yours
The little things that mean a lot
That’s the feeling that I’ve got
And it’s a good, good feeling
That I feel inside
It’s a good, good feeling
much too good to hide
When your problems get so there’s no way out you can see
I hope that I can do for you what you have done for me
Rescue you from whatever
Puts a tear in your eye
‘Cause anything I ask of you
What you can you’ll do and what you can’t you’ll try
I want you to know my love is true
‘Cause that’s the feeling I get from you
And it’s a good, good feeling...

La riqueza musical de estos artistas salseros era infinita, solo en este tema, en 7 minutos hay tales cambios de ritmos y tiempos que demuestran todo su potencial en un género que lastimosamente no volvió y se fue con ellos, ya es solo recuerdo y nostalgia.
Pero nunca se olvidará y se mantendrá sonando, todo salsero tiene buena memoria.

Me encantó esta canción desde que la escuché por primera vez. Una gran mezcla de varios géneros que confluyen en salsa.

I remember this song from Smokey Robinson & The Miracles Make It Happen aka "The Tears of A Clown" album. A pleasant surprise to hear it being redone with a Latin flavor by Joe Bataan! What excitement put into this record!
