    Buddy's Song is a British musical drama film directed by Claude Whatham, starring Roger Daltrey of The Who and Chesney Hawkes in the title role. The film follows the coming-of-age story of Buddy Clark, a teenager with dreams of becoming a rock star, and his relationship with his father, Terry, who also has a complicated past in the music industry. Set against the backdrop of the 1980s British music scene, the film explores themes of family conflict, ambition, and the challenges of navigating the music business. Daltrey, playing Buddy's father, brings authenticity to the music-themed storyline, offering a glimpse into the highs and lows of chasing fame.

    The soundtrack for Buddy's Song is perhaps best known for launching the music career of Chesney Hawkes, with the hit single The One and Only becoming a chart-topping success in the UK. Written by Nik Kershaw, the song captured the youthful energy and aspiration at the heart of the film, propelling Hawkes into pop stardom. The soundtrack blends rock and pop elements, reflecting the musical tastes of the 1980s, and features contributions from Roger Daltrey, further reinforcing the film’s strong musical foundation. Though the film itself received mixed reviews, the soundtrack remains memorable, particularly for fans of Hawkes' breakout hit.
