“I’ve Been Good to You” is a 1961 R&B song by The Miracles on Motown Records’ Tamla label. It was released as the B-side of their Billboard Top 40 hit, “What’s So Good About Goodbye”, and was included on their album I’ll Try Something New the following year. This sad, melancholy ballad charted #103 on the Billboard Pop chart. Despite its relatively modest chart placing, this song has been hugely influential, and is noted as Beatle John Lennon’s favorite Miracles tune, and was the inspiration behind The Beatles’ song, “Sexy Sadie“.
