Freddie Scott's 'You Got What I Need' first appeared on a 45 single released by toucan-mascotted Shout Records in 1968, at the astronomical height of the swingin' soul era. Freddie Scott was in turn a master singer, songwriter and producer from Rhode Island, as this record lies among his most famous positive lyrical assessments of a potential suitor (of which there are many). The work of legendary producers Gamble & Huff, the lead track here was sampled by Ghostface Killah for the wonderful 'Save Me Dear' with Jay Dilla, cementing its legacy as an influence on the most eminent in hip-hop; an unlikely sound-source!
