"I'm the One You Need" was the second single from Jody Watley's third album, Affairs of the Heart. 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 6th Top five dance single.
[edit] Significance
"I'm the One You Need" is widely credited with introducing DJ David Morales' then-darker sound to the worldwide remixing community. Indeed, British DJ, John Digweed, includes a re-edited version of Morales' Def Dub version of "I'm the One You Need" on his [Digweed] edition of the Azuli Records compilation, Choice - A Collection of classics, and sites it as an influence on the UK DJ-ing community in the compilation's liner notes:
| “ | This track was really hard to get hold of at the time, but on one of my trips to Chicago, Derrick Carter gave me a copy of it - it's one of Morales' best mixes. It had a big influence on the UK producers who really picked up on Morales' dark hypnotic sound. | ” |
