Album Details
The late entertainer's finest artistic achievement was his 1982 LP 'All I Need', originally on Megatone Records. The original no longer exists on CD, but this resequenced disc combines all the tracks of that LP plus extras for an entirely new package. the track "Do You Wanna Funk" is one of the hallmarks of HI-Nrg and was also the final recording by Patrick Cowley, the pioneering electronic musician. Features Three versions of the title track (Original, remix & radio edit) plus much more.

Do Ya Wanna Funk?!? December 1, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Do Ya Wanna Funk is a great dance song from the 80s, and the CD has three different versions of it (Album version, Dance Club Version, Radio Edit). The other songs on the CD are just OK. The only other hit I recall from Sylvester was "You Make Me Feel So Real" but it's not on this CD. But if you're into fun, brainless dance songs from the 80s, "Do Ya Wanna Funk" is a must-have song for your collection. Enjoy!

Sylvester's Tour De Force Album August 20, 2005
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
This album was orginally released as All I Need, and the title track is a fun post-Disco romp. Do You Wanna Funk is no doubt the song that most would consider the biggest hit off this release, but this track was released months before this album and was already a hit on it's own.
Don't Stop is the standout track here and it is to me one of his greatest Disco tracks ever. This song takes the best of late 70's Disco and reworked it for the 80's, without loosing anything in the translation.
Hard Up is VERY notable for the video made to support it was the first video by a black male artist to be featured on MTV
(sorry Michael Jackson, and just deal with it). Be With You is another great track and the line about being with someone in heaven proved to be an erie foreshawdoing.
Most of what is currently offered of this awesome talent is various greatest hit packages, so it is great to see this studio album being offered on CD.

Sylvester's Best L.P. of the 80's! August 10, 2001
20 out of 20 found this review helpful
This cd which is released on the Canadian label Unidisc was originally released (on L.P.) on the Megatone label in 1982. Electronic synthesizer master Patrick Cowley (who died in the early 80's) was an innovator in this hi-nrg electronic sound (as was Giorgio Moroder in the 70's) and both Sylvester and Cowley make the perfect combination. Sylvester with his gospel high searing vocals and Cowley's melodic synthesizers. This cd includes all the hits (Do you wanna Funk, Don't Stop and Be with You) plus the remix versions, some of which were only available as import 12" records from Europe. The sound quality is nothing less than superb. If you enjoyed hi-nrg music from the 80's such as Miquel Brown, Hazel Dean, The Flirtations, Bobby O, Lime, etc. then you'll love this disc. Highly Recommended!
Sylvester - All I need 1982 February 27, 2000
16 out of 17 found this review helpful
It was Originally released late 1982 under the name "All I need " by the San Francisco dance label "Megatone" which was owned by legendary (revolutionary) Synth dance producer Patrick Cowley. Songs where written and produced by James Tip Wirrick who also performed everything. The song "Do you Wanna Funk" which is written and produced by Cowley was added to the album becuase it had become a hit. In general, in this album you get an energetic yet elegant synth Hi-Nrg backround ...all very well arranged with moog solos...and over it you get an extremely emotional and heart pouring melody song by sylvester in falsetto ..plus a near gospel chant backing vocals apear featering big voices like Martha Wash/ Daryl Coley/ Jeanie Tracie. I think its Sylvester's best album and one of 80's best albums to be ignored by the mass media.
