Peter Allen "One and Only" from Chanel Solitaire 1981

Here it is at long last...drum roll, please...Peter Allen's ultra rare song, "One and Only" (co-written with Eddy Marnay & Jean Musy) from the 1981 Chanel Solitaire (based on the life of Coco Chanel) movie soundtrack. After much time, patience, and effort this RARE GEM 💎 can FINALLY be heard at last! A power ballad complete with lush strings, "One and Only" can only be found at the end credits of certain versions of the hard to find film (and it's only half of the song) and on the soundtrack record from Canada (which is mega rare). The soundtrack record from France and the CD soundtrack does not contain this song. The soundtrack from France features Mireille Mathieu singing the song in French (hear it at:    • CHANEL SOLITAIRE / Chante Par: Mireille Ma...  ), while the CD soundtrack does not contain the same content as the records. Enjoy this timeless beauty from the one and only Peter Allen!😃 Quelle chanson spectaculaire!!!🎶

"One and Only"
Written by: P. Allen, E. Marnay, & J. Musy

One and only
One and only
If I never known your love now I'd be lonely
In the nighttime without sleeping
All my tears will be a secret that I'm keeping
One and only
As I lie here only longing to embrace you
If I knew how I'd erase you
But I know they'll be no one who can replace you
One and only
And I should be thankful for the love you gave me
From now on I'll be the only one to save me
Independent
Independent
Now I've finally learned what all the pain meant
I'll be stronger I don't need you any longer
One and only
One and only
On my own
As the night fades
No more night shades
All my rainbows seem to come in black and white shades
Solitary never lonely
From now on I'll always be the one and only
One and only
One and only.
