One Voice (Barry Manilow album)


One Voice is the sixth studio album by singer/songwriter Barry Manilow, released in 1979. It was recorded at United Western Studios and Allen Zentz Recording in Hollywood. The album peaked at #9 on the Billboard 200 chart and was certified double platinum by RIAA. The album contained three top-40 singles, "Ships" which peaked at #9, "When I Wanted You" at #20 and "I Don't Want to Walk Without You" which hit #36 on the Billboard Hot 100.

The title track was featured in a lengthy segment in an episode of the British comedy show Only Fools and Horses, "Fatal Extraction", where the show's central character Del Boy starts singing the song outside a block of flats late at night after he's been drinking, starting a riot.

The song "Who's Been Sleeping in My Bed?" was sampled in the song "Superheroes" by Daft Punk on the album Discovery.
