"The One To Sing The Blues" is a song by the heavy metal band Motörhead, released as a single in 7" and 12" vinyl, shaped picture disc vinyl and CD.

Although its official release date is January 5, 1991, Lemmy states it "came out a few weeks earlier — on my birthday, as a matter of fact", which is December 24, continuing to say "that's a really great song — maybe we'll put it back in the set one of these days".[1]

Epic Records released the single in a number of formats; 7"and 12" vinyl, cassette-single, CD-single as well as a shaped picture disc.[2]
