ROGER DALTREY (Alfred P. Doolittle) has been a world famous star since the 
early 1960's when he began his career as the lead singer of The Who, and has 
since become one of the most popular vocalists in rock music history.  The band 
has sold 100 million records and toured the world several times, including gigs 
at New York's Metropolitan Opera House and Carnegie Hall.  During the 1970's 
and 1990's Daltrey enjoyed a very successful solo career that yielded several 
hit singles.

Golden Globe nominee for his portrayal of the title character in Tommy (the 
filmed adaptation of The Who's famous rock opera), he has amassed a multitude of 
film and television credits, ranging from Shakespeare's Comedy of Errors and 
Jonathan Miller's staging of The Beggar's Opera to That 70's Show.  He is 
currently shooting Extreme History, a series for The History Channel.  His stage 
credits include A Christmas Carol and The Wizard of Oz.

He has been presented with The Brit, Ivor Novello, and Nordoff Robbins' 
awards, all honors for special achievement in popular music, and The Who has been 
inducted into The Rock 'n' Roll Hall Of Fame.  In 2003, Time magazine honored 
him with one of their Humanitarian Awards for his extensive work with the
