“Something’s Got a Hold On Me” is one of those songs that is immediately familiar to you, even if you have never heard the full track. The song has been utilized in various media outlets, including episodes of television shows such as ABC’s “Private Practice”. The church influence in “Something’s Got a Hold On Me” is evident, especially within the song’s intro, which plays out like one side of the call and response type of spiritual singing. Even though the style is religious, I don’t quite think the “something” is always religious. ☺ Something’s Got a Hold on Me” is available on “Her Best: The Chess 50th Anniversary Collection“.
