"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.
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.
[4] In May 1984, the single and the Eden album were reviewed by three panellists on the BBC2 programme, 8 Days a Week.
[5][6] George Michael stated that he liked the single and loved Tracey Thorn's "beautiful voice", and added that "Plain Sailing" was his favourite track of hers.
Tony Blackburn stated that he liked the bossa nova rhythm of the single, which he described as "an old sound come back again".
