Jon Batiste's cover for Pixar's Soul brings this feel-good Curtis Mayfield song to a whole new generation. Built on a soulful groove, jazzy twists, and and upbeat vibe, it's everywhere! First made famous by The Impressions, a 60s group of which Mayfield was a member, this happy hit has stood the test of time, recorded by many diverse artists over the years. The arranger adds his own authentic touch with some gospel inflections and interjections. It's all right, have a good time, 'cause it's all right!
