Former Miss New York State Linda Clifford's "All The Man I Need" (Dean Pitchford - Michael Gore) was written especially for her, arranged by Luther Vandross and released in 1981 as a non-charting single. The next year it was on her album "I'll Keep On Loving You".

Whitney Houston added to her hit catalogue when she issued "All The Man That I Need" from the 1990 album "I'm Your Baby Tonight". The single with Kenny G on sax topped the pop, Adult Contemporary and R&B charts.
