Parting Should Be Painless

"Parting Should Be Painless" is the fifth solo studio album by the English musician Roger Daltrey. The album was originally released in early 1984 on the labels Atlantic, in the United States, and on WEA in Germany, and Japan. The album was Daltrey's first solo album since the first breakup of The Who, and the first by any member of the band. The album was a concerted effort on Daltrey's part to vent his frustrations in the wake of The Who's breakup by assembling a set of roughly autobiographical songs. These include a track contributed by the Eurythmics ("Somebody Told Me") and one contributed by Bryan Ferry ("Going Strong").
