In 1960, Freddie King adapted the song as "You've Got to Love Her with a Feeling".[4] In his arrangement, he uses breaks where he sings the first four bars of each twelve-bar verse without the usual instrumental accompaniment. The recording took place in Cincinnati, Ohio, on August 26, 1960, with King on vocal and guitar, Sonny Thompson on piano, Bill Willis on bass, Phillip Paul on drums, Clifford Scott on tenor saxophone and Gene Redd on trumpet.[4] The song was released as the B-side of the "Have You Ever Loved a Woman" single on King Records subsidiary, Federal Records.[4] Of the two songs, only "You've Got to Love Her with a Feeling" appeared in the record charts. In 1961, the single reached number 93 on the Billboard Hot 100,[5] but did not appear in the magazine's R&B chart.[6] The song is also included on King's first album, Freddy King Sings (1961).[7] On his single and albums, King is often listed as the songwriter, sometimes with Thompson as co-writer.
