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 was a signature of a minor decline in Manilow's success. It reached 2x platinum, not 3x platinum, as his past six albums did. The album only contained one top ten hit, "Ships", which peaked at #9 on the Billboard Hot 100.
The title track was featured in a lengthy segment in the British comedy show Only Fools and Horses, 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 in the album Discovery.

Famous quotes containing the word voice:
“English audiences of working people are like an instrument that responds to the player. Thought ripples up and down them, and if in some heart the speaker strikes a dissonance there is a swift answer. Always the voice speaks from gallery or pit, the terrible voice which detaches itself in every English crowd, full of caustic wit, full of irony or, maybe, approval.”
—Mary Heaton Vorse (1874–1966)
