The Story

OriginUnited KingdomGenrepop musicLabelChrysalis Records

With a voice that can melt hearts and a charm that captures the spirit of youthful rebellion, Chesney Hawkes burst onto the scene as a pop sensation from the UK. He first made waves as a teen in the film “Buddy's Song,” where he introduced the world to his unforgettable hit “The One and Only.” This anthem of self-affirmation became a staple of the early '90s, echoing through the airwaves and even making its way into movies like “Doc Hollywood” and “Moon.” While his follow-up single “I’m a Man Not a Boy” and tracks like “What’s Wrong with This Picture?” and “Stay Away Baby Jane” added to his repertoire, it’s that initial spark of charisma in “The One and Only” that continues to resonate with fans, reminding us all of those heady days when pop ruled the airwaves.
