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.[2]
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 [3] 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,[4] and cited it as an influence on the UK DJing 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.[5]
