Do You Feel Me (from the Motion Picture American Gangster): Piano/Vocal/Chords Sheet

This sheet music captures a song that already has significant radio recognition, giving your students or singers a chance to work with contemporary material that feels current and relevant. The piano/vocal/chord arrangement is clean and singable, making it accessible for vocalists at various levels while still offering enough musical substance to be worth serious rehearsal time.

Grounded in contemporary soul-influenced writing, this song carries emotional depth and accessibility in equal measure. The melody sits comfortably for singers, while the harmonic language feels warm and modern rather than overly complex.

Vocalists preparing contemporary repertoire for recital or performance, piano accompanists building their ability to support singers, and voice teachers looking to supplement classical or musical theater curricula with material their students find personally engaging.

• Use the chord changes to guide your harmonic interpretation at the piano; the professional arrangement provides a solid foundation, but your touch and voicing choices will shape how the vocal line sits in the mix.
• Pay attention to where the melody peaks and where it rests, allowing the vocalist space to breathe and land emotionally during the song's most important moments.
• Lock the tempo with your vocalist early in rehearsal so the accompaniment feels like a natural partner rather than a supporting element.

This works well on a recital program alongside other contemporary vocal music, offering a refreshing contrast if paired with art song or musical theater selections. Its mainstream appeal also makes it an excellent choice for informal performance settings or singer showcases where audience connection matters.

• Accompanying a vocalist with sensitivity to phrasing and breath
• Interpreting chord symbols and realizing them musically at the keyboard
• Balancing independence between hands while supporting a melodic line
• Working with contemporary harmonic vocabulary in a radio-friendly context
