All I Am

"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] A version of the song was also released as a track on the 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.[3] 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.[4] The Indonesian artist Yana Julio, also covered the song and it appeared on his 1998 album, Kucinta, which was accompanied by an official video.[5] 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.[6]

Although de Paul never released her version of the song, she did sing "All I Am" on the Channel 4 television program, Ladybirds, about her life in music.[7]
