Feets, Don't Fail Me Now is the twenty-second album by jazz pianist Herbie Hancock. The record was released in February 1979 by Columbia Records.
This was the first of Hancock's albums to discard jazz completely in favor of a more commercial disco sound, with vocoder effects and repeating lyrics. Background vocals were provided by 'The Waters', a family vocal group from Los Angeles. All LP and CD editions after the first pressing use an alternate 'Disco Mix' version of "Tell Everybody". The original version was included as a bonus track on the disc in the Complete Columbia Albums Collection box set.
