"One Friend" is a song written and recorded by American country music artist Dan Seals. It was released in September 1987 as the first and only single from his compilation album The Best. It peaked at #1, becoming his seventh straight number-one single. This song was originally included on his 1984 album San Antone, and this version was the b-side to that album's single "(You Bring Out) The Wild Side of Me".[1]


Music video

Seals re-recorded "One Friend" again for his 1995 acoustic album, In a Quiet Room, and a music video was filmed for that version the following year. It was directed by Tom Bevins, and it shows Seals singing and performing the song on his guitar while sitting by a bonfire. It was the last music video of Seals' career.
