David Gates originally wrote ‘Everything I Own’ for Bread’s hit 1972 album ‘Baby, I’m A Want You’. The original Adult-Contemporary cut reached #5 on the Billboard 100. The song has since had numerous covers from artists ranging from Shirley Bassey to N*SYNC, but the easy, Reggae grooves of Ken Booth — and later Boy George are among the most popular tributes. Boy George’s version reached #1 on the UK singles charts for two weeks in March 1987.
