*************************
"Can You Feel It" is a 1986 song by Mr. Fingers and one of the first deep house records. Its seminal impact on deep house has been compared to that of Derrick May's "Strings of Life" on Detroit techno.
"Can You Feel It" was originally released as an instrumental on Mr. Fingers' 1986 EP Washing Machine.The song later appeared on Fingers Inc.'s 1988 album Another Side. There are two mash-up versions of the song: one using Chuck Roberts' speech from the a cappella version of Rhythm Control's "My House", and another using Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech.
