It Makes Me Feel Good

It Makes Me Feel Good is the title of Cilla Black's ninth solo studio album released in 1976 by EMI Records. The album was Black's second to be produced and arranged by David Mackay. Mackay revealed on an interview on Black's official website that he considered this album as his best work with the singer and by far the project with the most memories attached. This was mainly down to the fact that some of the album's recording sessions were held in the United States away from the distractions of Black's usual television work commitments. The creative process involved Mackay flying out beforehand to Los Angeles where he scouted for suitable song material and session musicians. Mackay achieved his goals and hired acclaimed musicians, such as guitarist Lee Ritenour, bassist Herbie Flowers and Alan Tarney. Black with her husband Bobby Willis then joined Mackay to finalise the song selection and lay her vocals. This was her first recording sessions to be held outside the United Kingdom. Although completed in 1975, the release of the album was purposely delayed until Black returned to BBC television with her 1976 variety show series Cilla.
