The Who The Who is a British rock band formed in 1964. They were active from 1964 - 1982, then in 1989, then from 1996 to the present. The classic line-up of the band is: lead singer Roger Daltrey, guitarist Pete Townshend, bass guitarist John Entwistle, and drummer Keith Moon. The Band was very successful, and one of the most influential rock bands due to their popularity, shows, and work. All four members of the band grew up around London. Before the creation of The Who, Townshend and Entwistle played in a band together, but Entwistle left to join a different band, the Detours, in 1962, which included Daltrey. Townshend later joined the Detours in 1963 when a spot in the band opened up. Lastly drummer Keith Moon was brought in to replace the current drummer, and in early 1964, the name of the band was changed to The Who. It was in one of their early shows that Townshend would destroy a guitar, thus beginning their act of bashing instruments during their shows. The Who released songs "I Can't Explain", "Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere" and "My Generation". These songs were successful in Britain, but that success did not travel over to the US until later. Within a few years, and after releasing more songs and albums, the fame of the band grew, particularly in the US. The release of song "I Can See For Miles" and album "Tommy" were particularly successful. Throughout the 70s, the band could easily pack the stands at any of their concerts. Then, in 1978, tragedy struck when Keith Moon died. The three remaining members would continue their performances, but the band was never the same. The Who would break up in 1982 after the end of one of their tours. The Who occasionally reunites to preform: examples include in 1985, 1988, and 1989. The Who still preform, and their legacy lives on, having influenced the development of Rock and Roll heavily through their contributions to music.

__** Lyrics: **__ ** "Who Are You" ** Who are you?Who, who, who, who?Who are you?Who, who, who, who? Who are you? Who, who, who, who? Who are you? Who, who, who, who?

I woke up in a Soho doorway A policeman knew my name He said "You can go sleep at home tonight If you can get up and walk away"

I staggered back to the underground And the breeze blew back my hair I remember throwin' punches around And preachin' from my chair

[chorus:] Well, who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?) I really wanna know (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?) Tell me, who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?) 'Cause I really wanna know (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)

I took the tube back out of town Back to the Rollin' Pin I felt a little like a dying clown With a streak of Rin Tin Tin

I stretched back and I hiccupped And looked back on my busy day Eleven hours in the Tin Pan God, there's got to be another way

Who are you? Ooh wa ooh wa ooh wa ooh wa ...

Who are you? Who, who, who, who? Who are you? Who, who, who, who? Who are you? Who, who, who, who? Who are you? Who, who, who, who?

[chorus]

I know there's a place you walked Where love falls from the trees My heart is like a broken cup I only feel right on my knees

I spit out like a sewer hole Yet still recieve your kiss How can I measure up to anyone now After such a love as this?

[chorus]
