Who lead singer Roger Daltrey forged a parallel solo career beginning in 1973, in the aftermath of Quadrophenia. Born in London, Daltrey grew up in the same Shepherd's Bush neighborhood as Who band mates Pete Townshend and John Entwistle. Over time, Daltrey developed into one of rock's most powerful lead vocalists, a position to which he staked his claim on The Who's 1971 masterpiece, Who's Next. Daltrey first traveled the solo route in 1973 with an album titled simply Daltrey, served as a departure from The Who's signature hard rock sound. The Who reconvened for The Who by Numbers in 1975, a year that saw Daltrey release his second solo album, Ride a Rock Horse. While The Who went on hiatus for several years, Daltrey released One of the Boys in 1977 and appeared in the 1978 film The Legacy. During The Who's post-Keith Moon era, Daltrey co-produced and starred in the film McVicar; members of The Who appeared on its soundtrack, which essentially served as a full-fledged Daltrey album and found him bridging the gap between hard rock and the pop songs of his earlier solo work. After The Who first disbanded in 1983, Daltrey's solo albums became uniformly hard-rocking affairs, most notable among them, 1985's Under a Raging Moon. In addition to The Who's occasional reunion tours, Daltrey has continued to act, as well as release solo albums. Roger Daltrey also continues to perform solo, as well as with his Who band mates.
