"(You) Got What I Need" by Freddie Scott
Freddie Scott was an outstanding vocalist who rose to fame in the 60s with a lone Top 10 hit: his rendition of Carole King's "Hey Girl." He managed to hit the Top 40 once more in 1967 when "Are You Lonely For Me" reached #39. "(You) Got What I Need" came out in 1968 but didn't enter most people's ears until Biz Markie famously sampled the song in his smash hit "Just A Friend," which went to #9 in 1989.
