The Quiet One

"The Quiet One" is a song by The Who, written by bassist John Entwistle. It is one of two Entwistle contributions to The Who's first album without Keith Moon, Face Dances. Entwistle's other contribution to Face Dances is "You", with Roger Daltrey on lead vocals. "The Quiet One" is also a B-side for the first single from Face Dances, "You Better You Bet". "You Better You Bet" reached number 18 on the Billboard Hot 100, number 1 on the Billboard Top (Rock) Tracks, and number 9 in the UK. The song was written by John Entwistle to replace his song "My Wife" (from Who's Next) on tour, and he did so for the years of 1981 and The Who's Tour of 1982. However, in following tours, this song was never played again; "My Wife" was brought back.
