"Got to Get You into My Life" is a song by the Beatles, first released in 1966 on the album Revolver. It was written by Paul McCartney, though officially credited to Lennon–McCartney. The song is a soulful Motown homage with colorful brass instrumentation, and lyrics that suggest a psychedelic experience. A cover version by Cliff Bennett and the Rebel Rousers peaked at number six in 1966 in the UK.
The Beatles' version was released in the United States as a single from the Rock 'n' Roll Music compilation album in 1976, a decade after its initial release and six years after the Beatles split up. It reached number seven on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, the Beatles' last top ten hit there until their 1995 release "Free as a Bird."

Famous quotes containing the word life:
“Those who first introduced compulsory education into American life knew exactly why children should go to school and learn to read: to save their souls.... Consistent with this goal, the first book written and printed for children in America was titled Spiritual Milk for Boston Babes in either England, drawn from the Breasts of both Testaments for their Souls’ Nourishment.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
