History



Produced by house music pioneer, David Morales, "I'm the One You Need" constitutes Watley's initial foray into house music (though its "Affairs of the Heart" predecessor, "I Want You", boasted a house version). "I'm the One You Need" was Watley's seventh Top 20 pop single in the US, and sixth Top five dance single, charting at #19 on the 'Billboard' Hot 100, and #6 on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play charts, respectively.[ allmusic ((( Affairs of the Heart > Charts & Awards > Billboard Singles )))]

Significance



"I'm the One You Need" is often credited with introducing DJ David Morales' then-darker sound to the worldwide remixing community. Indeed, British DJ, John Digweed re-edited [http://www.discogs.com/release/424531 Dance 2 Trance / Jody Watley - Choice - A Collection Of Classics - Exclusive John Digweed Edits] the Morales' Dead Zone version of the song for its inclusion on his [Digweed] edition of the Azuli Records compilation, 'Choice - A Collection of classics',[http://www.discogs.com/release/424100 Various Azuli Presents John Digweed Choice A Collection Of Classics] and cited it as an influence on the UK DJing community in the compilation's liner notes:
