The same year he hit with "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag," Brown scored his biggest pop success with "I Got You." It was a sped-up, hyped-up new version of a song called "I Found You" that Brown had written a few years previous for one of his early protegees, James Brown Revue singer Yvonne Fair. "I Got You" received some help on the pop charts from a most unlikely source, when Brown appeared in the Frankie Avalon teen flick Ski Party that same year.
