"One Man Band" is a song recorded by the Who's lead singer Roger Daltrey, from his debut solo studio album Daltrey.[2] The song was written by David Courtney and Leo Sayer, and featured Daltrey's acoustic guitar strumming. According to Daltrey, it "reminiscences of Shepherd's Bush" [A place in west London where Daltrey had grown up and the Who were formed] and became one of the highlights of the album, and later released as a single in its own right in some European territories.[3]
The song was recorded by Leo Sayer a year later on his solo album Just a Boy,[4] and released as a single, which became one of Sayer's biggest hits, peaking at number 6 in the UK singles chart,[5] and placing in the top 10 in South Africa.
