I'm the one you need - Jody Watley

'I'm the one you need' was released in February 1992 as the second single from her third album, Affairs of the Heart (1991). The song was written by Watley with house music pioneer, David Morales and Alec Shantzis. 

It was Watley's seventh top 20 pop single in the US, peaking at number 19 on the US Billboard Hot 100. In the UK singles chart the song reached number 50. The accompanying music video features a topless Watley reciting the song's spoken word intro, and then performing the rest of the song with her backup band.
