All I Am (Lynsey de Paul and Susan Sheridan song)

"All I Am" is a song written by Lynsey de Paul and Susan Sheridan.[1] It was first released as an album track on Candles, the 1980 album from the soul group, Heatwave.[2] This version has also been released on the Heatwave compilation album Maximum Heat,[3] as well as on the compilation album The Love Box II: 75 Love Song Sensations.[4]

A version of the song was also released as a track on the January 1981 Marti Webb album Won't Change Places, which also featured another Lynsey de Paul/Susan Sheridan song "What You Gonna Do With Your Freedom". Both Marti Webb songs were produced by de Paul.[5] "All I Am" was released as a single by Webb in South Africa and was backed with "Won't Change Places".[6] The former lead singer of Heatwave, Johnnie Wilder, Jr. recorded a new version of "All I Am" on his 1996 solo album One More Day.[7] The Indonesian artist Yana Julio, also covered the song and it appeared on his 1998 album, Kucinta, which was accompanied by an official video directed by Jose Poernomo.[8] The music from "All I Am", formed the basis for the Buddha Monk song "Dedicated" that appeared on his 1998 Billboard charting album The Prophecy; de Paul and Sheridan received co-writing credits on the song.[9]

Although de Paul never released her version of the song, she did sing it on Ladybirds, the Channel 4 television program about her life in music.[10]
