"Gold Digger" is a song recorded by American rapper Kanye West featuring guest vocals by Jamie Foxx. Released as the second single from West's second album, Late Registration, "Gold Digger" peaked at number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 on September 6, 2005, becoming West's and Foxx's second number one single. It is most recognizable for the interpolation of Ray Charles' "I Got A Woman" by Foxx (who portrayed Charles in the 2004 film Ray).

The single broke a record for the most digital downloads in a week, selling over 80,000 digital downloads, and was also the fastest selling digital download of all time (both records have since been broken).  "Gold Digger" won the 2006 Grammy award for Best Solo Rap Performance.
