Feel was a dance-pop group based in New York City, focusing on urban sounds and active during the years 1982 to 1983. The band was established by arrangers and producers Chris Hills and Danny Weiss, known for their work with Players Association, featuring vocals from Gail Freeman—who subsequently released singles titled "Mr. Right" (1985) and "Danger in the Airwaves" (1989), and contributed clavinet performances on Aurra's album Live and Let Live.
Their initial single, "I'd Like To," came out under Sutra Records in the United States and through Buddah Records in the United Kingdom. This track climbed to number 53 on the Billboard Top Dance Singles chart and was highlighted in Billboard's Top Single Picks. The next release, "Let's Rock (Over & Over Again)," also issued by Sutra, reached #58 on the R&B Singles chart. In 1983, Feel issued "Got to Have Your Lovin'," which adopted a more electro-pop approach but failed to gain commercial traction.
