When Michael Jackson was enjoying enormous success with 'Off the wall' on the Epic label, his previous employer Motown decided to try and cash in on the success as well. They plundered the archives and released 'One day in your life' from his 1975 album 'Forever, Michael'.While it became a modest hit in the USA, reaching number 55, it actually reached number 1 in the UK singles chart - his first single to do so. It went on to become the 6th best-selling single of 1981 in the UK. The single also reached number 1 in Ireland and the Netherlands.
