The story behind
The Who recorded Don’t Look Away in 1966, within an album called A Quick One. The song is part of an album that had to be released under another title in the United States, because the original was too direct. It was called Happy Jack there, and was included in the album due to the success of the track. On that album, each of the boys wrote at least two songs. Pete Townshend didn't write as many as before, and Roger Daltrey only one. The most notable part of the album is a nine-minute suite, which is the first rock opera by The Who. Don’t Look Away is part of that suite, and lasts two and a half minutes. ↓ Skip to chordsA G A G G A
