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

The song was later featured in the film Doc Hollywood (starring Michael J. Fox) and became a hit in the USA, peaking at number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in May 1991.
