You Send Me

I know you send me
Darling you send me
Honest you do, honest you do
Honest you do, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
You thrill me
I know you, you, you thrill me
Darling you, you, you, you thrill me
Honest you do
At first I thought it was infatuation
But woo, it's lasted so long
Now I find myself wanting
To marry you and take you home
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
You, you, you, you send me
I know you send me
I know you send me
Honest you do
Whoa-oh-oh, whenever I'm with you
I know, I know, I know when I'm near you
Mmm hmm, mmm hmm, honest you do, honest you do
Whoa-oh-oh, I know-oh-oh-oh
I know, I know, I know, when you hold me
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh, whenever you kiss me
Mmm hmm, mmm hmm, honest you do
At first I thought it was infatuation
But woo, it's lasted so long
Now I find myself wanting
To marry you and take you home
I know, I know, I know, you send me
I know you send me
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, you you you you send me
Honest you do
You Send Me - José Feliciano
José Feliciano's 1968 recording of "You Send Me" stands as a pivotal moment in Latin pop history, marking his transition from traditional bolero to a more rhythmic, rock-infused style. The track reimagines the classic rock and roll standard, blending it with the complex polyrhythms and harmonic richness characteristic of his Cuban heritage. Released during a period when Feliciano was establishing himself as a master of fusion, the song showcases his signature vocal agility and sophisticated arrangement, which incorporated elements of jazz and bossa nova alongside the driving beat of the original. While the melody is instantly recognizable, Feliciano's interpretation added a unique Latin flavor that distinguished it from earlier versions, reflecting his growing influence in bringing Caribbean musical traditions to a global audience. This recording remains a testament to his ability to reinterpret American classics through a distinctly personal and culturally rich lens.
