In light of WAF’s ‘One and Only’ founder, Simon’s, heart-breaking terminal diagnosis, we are proud, and slightly overwhelmed, to be releasing this song, a cover of Chesney Hawkes’ classic ‘The One and Only’, in support of British wildlife, and Simon’s legacy.
A supergroup of pop legends from the eighties and nineties, including Tony Hadley, Roachford, Chesney Hawkes, Carol Decker, A1, 911 and Paul Young have recorded a cover of the classic hit to help raise awareness and vital funds for Simon’s Last Wish, and people seem to love it! - Домашні улюбленці та дикі тварини
"The group, aptly named ‘Wildlife Aid’, includes Tony Hadley, former lead singer of Spandau Ballet, Carol Decker from T-Pau, Paul Young, Tunde from Lighthouse Family, Roachford and members of boybands 911 and A1. Other artists on the recording include Doris Pearson from Five Star, Clark Datchler from Johnny Hates Jazz and Simon Climie from Climie Fisher. Songwriter and pop star Nik Kershaw, who wrote the hit, gave permission for the song to be used and its original performer, Chesney Hawkes, is also supporting the project. All artists and producers donated their time for free." A wonderful initiative for a worthy cause.
Thanks for that. I recognised a few but not all. ALL legends. It's the power of Simon the other Legend.
👍🤝
If ever there was a charity download that deserved support, this is it. Simon, I've watched you on TV for years. Your dedication to wildlife and vision is beyond compare. Your last wish will be granted ❤
Simon, congratulations, happy birthday 🎉 such a beautifull song. Wish you all the best. The animals need you❤
Thank you for looking after all the wildlife 🦊🦊🦝🦝🐭🐭🐰🐰🦔🦔🦢🦢🦆🦆
So glad to see this song getting a revival. It really is a great song.
I remember when Simon invited Francis Rossi and Rick Parfitt into the Leatherhead premisses!! For the way younger viewers: Status Quo 😘
Wow! So happy to be a part of this. Loved singing with you guys 😀
This is outstanding! I hope it raises lots of funds for Simon’s dream.
Very moving. Love the picture of the badger. It’s musicians like this that can inspire people to think of the things we subject animals to. 👏👏👏
I'm a little lost for words on this one... what a lovely tribute to a lovely man 💜
Wishing Simon the happiest of badger and Bacardi-filled birthdays 😀xXx
Thank you for all you do. 💚💚💚💚.
Happy birthday Simon 🎉
Moved me to tears, absolutely loved it, I hope it raises all the money needed. Thankyou to every one who has made this possible, and Simon luv you. THANKYOU❤
Cool song. Hope it makes you millions.
Absolutely amazing. I can't wait to see the whole video. X
This is Beautiful ❤️ God Bless you Simon, You are So Very Loved
Happy Birthday Simon! Praying for you and your wish for the animals!
I don't usually like charity records as I feel they are only done to raise the kudos of the participants. But this is genuine and I support it.
Thanks for everything Simon!
Commenting to get youtube to recommend this!
Fantastic. Downloaded. Let’s hope it can raise funds for the new centre
This is amazing

Goosebumps!!!! That's beautiful! Love from Texas ❤
Happy Birthday Simon, you lovely wonderful human xxx
Beautiful song, will have to download on my laptop tomorrow.
❤💐💖🎶❤️
Wow! Happy tears!
brilliant and beautiful just like badgers and beavers and all other wildlife - thank you everyone-
This sounds amazing! Hope it goes viral and ya’ll get lots of downloads! 💪💪
Holy moly, just that snippet was AMAZING! This is incredible! What a fine gesture and idea! 😍
I just saw it is apparently your birthday.
I couldn't ever imagine shedding tears seeing how so many come together to keep Wildlife Aid afloat.
Nor could I imagine that I would see so badly a success.
The elephant in the room is still the blasted illness. I still have hopes that the "terminal" in the diagnosis was referencing to the cancer. Not you.
Happy birthday. And I treat myself to a single today. Always liked the song, but now I love it.
What a great idea and I shall treasure my MP3 file. I remember Chesney Hawkes and this song from my student days. The singing here is superb and it's good to see wonderful people like Carol Decker and Paul Young, who were everywhere in the 80s. All the best to Simon and hope you had a lovely birthday and look after yourself. Nice to see Lou in the video as well.
Love this! 🦡❤🎶
This made me super emotional ! ❤
Sounds wonderful
Simon is the star. The rest are backup singers. I'm joking. It's a wonderful effort by all involved. Many thanks and I hope it's a huge success. We love you, Simon.
Amazing well done all, love it and cried most of the way through it, very powerful. Xx
All of it is absolutely amazing! Wonderful! ❤️
Beautiful
I was not aware of his terminal illness. Keeping him in my prayers. Nicely done tribute. My favorite channel. Xoxo

Appropriate ;D Hey, I notice they didn't use the same session guitarist they used last time (he'd've told us :P)!
Thanks! I wish everyone would do a Super Thanks. It's quick and easy and you can give as little as $2.
Simon❤💞
Beautiful melody ❤❤❤
😊❤
This is great! I love it!
Who is the artist playing acoustic guitar @ 0:57? It looks like Sir Paul M? But not exactly?
Roachford still has a great voice 👍
❤
😄😄😄🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
I see Tony Hadley there, but who are the other "legends"?
I love WAF but Im still completely confused on why they did this...? Can someone explain?
ok
Pop legends is a slight exaggeration
Agreed. I didn't recognise any of them! Nonetheless, it's a good cause and I am more than happy to donate,
Just because you don’t recognise them, it doesn’t mean they aren’t legends. They just aren’t legends to YOU.
Most of them for example have songs on "greatest hits of the 80s/90s" lists etc. So, "pop legends" is not an exaggeration.
Happy Birthday Simon, you lovely wonderful human xxx
Beautiful song, will have to download on my laptop tomorrow.
❤💐💖🎶❤️
