"Each and Every One" is the second single by the British music duo Everything but the Girl, that reached #28 in the UK charts in May 1984.[2] It was the only single from the album Eden and the USA album Everything but the Girl.
Background[edit]
The song has often been misinterpreted as a love song, but the lyrics are a response to the patronizing tone used by many male writers when covering Tracey Thorn's earlier all-female band Marine Girls in the British music press.[3]
