Chesney HawkesBiography Singer/Songwriter Chesney Hawkes, son of the ex-Tremeloes singer Chip Hawkes, was born on the 22nd of September 1971 and is best known for his single 'The One and Only' which he released in March 1991. Chesney's career began when at 19, he appeared as the title character in the film 'Buddy's Song', shortly after this he released his most famous single 'The One and Only' from the film's soundtrack. The single spent 5 weeks at number one, however it proved to be a hard act to follow and subsequent releases such as 'I'm a Man not a Boy' (May 1991) were not as successful. Chesney disappeared from the mainstream public eye for many years, with the 1993 release of the single 'What's wrong with this picture?' attracting little attention in the UK and his 2002 rlease 'Stay Away Baby Jane' reaching only number 74 in the UK chart. However Chesney has had a hard core of (mainly student) fans throughout, kept loyal by the constant playing of 'The One and Only' in student bars and clubs, they have ensured his continued success as a touring artist. He has also had continued success as a song writer for many artists such as A1, Caprice, Tricky and Nik Kershaw. Chesney has recently returned to the media's attention with his involvement in Channel 4's The Games in March 2005 in which he won a Bronze Medal. He is also taking part in the ITV programme 'Hit Me Baby One More Time' in April 2005. There are rumours that he may be releasing a new single called 'Another Fine Mess' or possible re-releasing 'The One and Only' in the near future.
