CAFFE` LATTE` 
TOP 1200 CHOICE TRACKS


#312 ONE NIGHT ONLY (DISCO) Beyonce' with Sharon Leal & Anika Noni Rose
In 2006, Beyonce' starred in the film version of the musical "Dreamgirls". Most of the original stage version's songs were included in the film. "One Night Only" was from the show which premiered on Broadway in 1981. The song was written by Henry Krieger and Tom Eyen. 
Earlier in the film, Jennifer Hudson performs a more soulful interpretation of "One Night Only". The "disco" version, sung by Deena Jones (Beyonce' Knowles) and The Dreams (Sharon Leal and Anika Noni Rose), was produced by The Underdogs (Damon Thomas and Harvey Mason Jr) with Ritchie Jones. The plot is loosely based on the story of Motown's premier act Diana Ross & The Supremes.

This is a list made up of the songs I enjoy the most, ranked in order of preference: the higher we go, the more I cherish them. Some were released as singles, others as album tracks. Some are obscure; others were worldwide hits or have universal appeal. They aren't always the most famous or popular, but simply a personal choice. I have excluded songs from the last few years in order to get a better idea of a song's lasting impression. I hope you find some new tracks to love, or re-discover some past favourites.
2 new songs are added each day (every 12 hours)  with a mid-week bonus every Wednesday.
