"Only One Woman" is a song and the first single by English musical duo the Marbles, written by Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb of the Bee Gees. It later also appeared on their self-titled album The Marbles.
It was recorded around July 1968 in IBC Studios, London. The backing track was created by Barry Gibb, Maurice Gibb and Colin Petersen, with an orchestral arrangement by Bill Shepherd. Colin plays the same percussion effect as on "I've Gotta Get a Message to You". The song exists only in a mono mix.
The song was the biggest hit they had in their short-lived career.[1] It entered the UK chart at number 24[2] and eventually peaked at number five on 2 November 1968. In the Netherlands, it reached number three.
Their performance in a French TV of the song was televised on 192TV.
