With a classic R&amp;B backing track, passionate (albeit bluffed) vocals, and an arrangement right smack in the E Street sweet spot, &#8220;All I Need&#8221;\u00a0<em>needed<\/em> to be finished and released.<\/p>\n<p>And it was&#8230; sort of.<\/p>\n<p>By the end of the summer of 1981, Bruce would be in full <em>Nebraska <\/em>song-writing mode, but that didn&#8217;t stop him from recording &#8220;All I Need&#8221; with the E Street Band at the Hit Factory in New York City in early 1982.<\/p>\n<p>But a recording doesn&#8217;t guarantee a release, as Springsteen fans well know. Bruce had moved on to a new, sparer sound for his next album release, and more mature, less retro songs for his next band album after that.<\/p>\n<p>So Bruce took &#8220;All I Need&#8221; and six other original songs in the same vein and donated them to Gary U.S. Bonds for Bonds&#8217; next album,\u00a0<em>On the Line<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Bruce and Steve Van Zandt had produced Bonds&#8217; &#8220;comeback&#8221; album, <em>Dedication<\/em>, in 1981, and they reprised their co-producer roles for\u00a0<em>On the Line\u00a0<\/em>as well. Between the two albums, Bruce donated an amazingly generous <em>ten<\/em> songs to Bonds, a number of which could have been hits for Bruce (including, of course, &#8220;This Little Girl&#8221; which Bonds scored with in 1981).<\/p>\n<p>But of all the songs Bruce gave away for\u00a0<em>On the Line<\/em> that cried out for an official Springsteen release, &#8220;All I Need&#8221; ranks near the top. Such a recording almost certainly exists, and it very probably uses the exact same E Street Band backing track that Bonds recorded his vocals over.\u00a0 Let&#8217;s take a listen:<\/p>\n<div id=\"v-HbdN8Y0e-1\" class=\"video-player\"><iframe title='VideoPress Video Player' aria-label='VideoPress Video Player' width='758' height='426' src='https:\/\/videopress.com\/embed\/HbdN8Y0e?hd=1&amp;cover=1&amp;loop=0&amp;autoPlay=0&amp;permalink=1&amp;muted=0&amp;controls=1&amp;playsinline=0&amp;useAverageColor=0&amp;preloadContent=metadata' frameborder='0' allowfullscreen data-resize-to-parent=\"true\" allow='clipboard-write; presentation'><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Bruce still sticks pretty close to that &#8220;It&#8217;s Gonna Work Out Fine&#8221; melody, but it&#8217;s lusher now, more romantic and soulful, with a coda at least inspired by if not lifted from &#8220;Darkness on the Edge of Town.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The lyrics speak for themselves&#8211;not much is required in the way of analysis.
