The One and Only (song)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The One and Only is a popular song by Chesney Hawkes.

Written by Nik Kershaw and produced by Kershaw and Alan Shacklock, The One and Only was a song featured in the film Buddy's Song which starred Chesney Hawkes as the eponymous Buddy and Roger Daltrey as his father. The film performed moderately well at the UK box office, but the lead single, The One and Only was a massive hit in the UK, spending five weeks at number one on the UK singles chart in March 1991.

Later that year the song was featured in the Michael J Fox starring film, Doc Hollywood and became a hit in the USA, peaking at number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart.
