I've Got You was a 1976 album by vocalist Gloria Gaynor.[2] It was her first on Polydor Records, which absorbed her previous label MGM Records, and soon became a force in the disco genre. The album charted in the US Billboard at #107 in the US Pop chart, and at #40 in the US R&B chart.

I've Got You features the megamix by Tom Moulton, a 19-minute disco suite with the songs "Let's Make a Deal", "I've Got You Under My Skin" and "Be Mine." The songs from the Soul based side two of the album includes "Touch of Lightning", "Let's Make Love", "Nothing in This World" and "Do It Right."
