"You're The One For Me" is a 1982 dance/soul single by D. Train, a New York based duo. "You're The One for Me" was a number one dance hit for three weeks early in 1982[1]. The single also made it to number thirteen on the soul singles chart[2]. Later in 1982, "You're The One For Me" along with the track, "Keep On", would peak at #2 on dance charts. "Keep On" peaked at number fifteen on the soul chart. In 1985 Paul Hardcastle cut a remixed version which reached No.15 on the UK Singles Chart. This version didn't stray too far from the original 1982 hit. Musician Prince performed a cover version of the song on the George Lopez Show featuring his backup singers, with Shelby J. on lead vocals & Sheila E. on percussion in early 2011 to launch his 21 Nights in Los Angeles.
