That's All I Want from You explained
"That's All I Want from You" is a popular song by Fritz Rotter (writing as "M. Rotha"), published in 1955.
The song was recorded by a number of artists, but became a major hit for Jaye P. Morgan, reaching No. 3 on the Billboard chart in the United States.[1] The Silva-Tones re-charted the song in 1957, utilizing a somewhat bizarre arrangement blending rockabilly and doo-wop.
