All I Need (Jack Wagner song)

"All I Need" is a song recorded by American actor and singer Jack Wagner. It was released in 1984 as a single from his debut album All I Need.

The song is a soft rock power ballad, typical of the 1980s. It features Wagner's vocals backed by prominent keyboard melodies and guitar riffs. The lyrics center around themes of love, devotion, and the importance of a significant other in the singer's life. The title reflects the central idea: the singer only needs the love and presence of the person he is addressing.

"All I Need" became Wagner's breakthrough hit, reaching number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States. It spent multiple weeks in the top 10 and helped propel his album to commercial success. The song's popularity was further boosted by its use on the daytime soap opera General Hospital, where Wagner starred as Frisco Jones. The song's association with the show contributed significantly to its recognition and airplay.

The song's enduring appeal is often attributed to its romantic theme, catchy melody, and its connection to a popular soap opera. It remains a recognizable tune from the 1980s and is frequently included on compilation albums featuring soft rock or love songs from the era.
