Singer Roger Daltrey co-founded The Who with Pete Townshend in 1964. Daltrey is the power and distinctive voice on most of the group\u2019s hits, from \u201cMy Generation\u201d to \u201cWho Are You.\u201d But London-born Daltrey (who turned 80 last March) didn\u2019t step outside The Who until the group had been together for nearly a decade. In between recording sessions and tours with The Who, Daltrey has cultivated a musical identity outside the group, something working with other musicians (and other times with his Who band mates). Here are five notable Roger Daltrey tracks that are not strictly part of The Who\u2019s catalog.<\/p>\n
\u201cGiving it All Away\u201d from Daltrey<\/em> (1973)<\/strong>
\nBy 1973, both guitarist Pete Townshend and bassist John Entwistle had recorded and released solo albums (Keith Moon would release Two Sides of the Moon<\/em> in 1975). Working with a small formation of top-flight British musicians (and no Who members) Daltrey recorded his self-titled solo debut, a collection of original tunes written by Leo Sayer with David Courtney. The album\u2019s single was \u201cGiving it All Away,\u201d something of a stylistic departure for Daltrey. The song reached #5 on the UK singles charts.<\/p>\n
