It was the basis for the 1995 single "I'll Be There for You / You're All I Need to Get By" from Method Man and Mary J. Blige . </P> <P> Written by real - life couple Nickolas Ashford & Valerie Simpson, it became one of the few Motown recordings of the 1960s that was not recorded with the familiar "Motown sound". Instead, "You're All I Need to Get By" had a more soulful and gospel - oriented theme surrounding it, that was influenced by the writers, who also sing background vocals on the recording, sharing vocals in a church choir in New York City . The lead vocals were recorded separately by the two singers and combined during the mixing process, reportedly to cut studio time, and give time for Terrell, who was using a wheelchair, to recover from surgery on the malignant brain tumor that would ultimately cause her death in 1970 . </P>
