"You've Got the Power" is an outtake from Van Morrison's 1972 album, Saint Dominic's Preview. It was released as the B-side to "Jackie Wilson Said (I'm in Heaven When You Smile)" in 1972.
The song features the same personnel as on the title track of the album it was cut out of: "Saint Dominic's Preview", excluding the backing vocal trio, Pat O'Hara's trombone and the pedal steel guitar. The song was also arranged by Tom Salisbury, playing piano and organ on the song as well, like in the other songs he arranged for "Saint Dominic's Preview".

[edit] Highlights
"You've Got the Power" was going to be in a compilation of outtakes called Highlights, but it remains unreleased, according to Morrison. Clinton Heylin says "The fourteen-track album Warners compiled only included two songs that pre-dated Hard Nose the Highway, just "I Shall Sing" from Moondance sessions and a 1972 non-album B-side, "You've Got the Power"."[1]
