YOU’RE GONNA NEED ME – Dionne Warwick (1973/US Warner Bros. promo)

After a thrilling run of hits during the Sixties for Scepter under the aegis of Burt Bacharach and Hal David, the incredible Dionne signed with Warner Bros. in 1972 to pursue a more soulful sound. Her third single for the label in 1973 was the title track from her second album for the label – ‘Just Being Myself’. It didn’t even dent the R&B charts. However, fast-forward to the early 21st Century and the B-side (written by the redoubtable triumvirate Holland-Dozier-Holland) is sampled by Wu Tang Clan, Usher, State Property and others, making it a sought-after track for cratediggers everywhere. However, it is its inclusion in J. Dilla’s seminal ‘Donuts’ album that catapults the demand for the track into the stratosphere. It remains one of Dionne’s (and Dilla’s) greatest recordings.
