"My Wife" is a song by the British rock band the Who, written by bass guitarist John Entwistle. It was originally released in 1971 on ''Who's Next'' and later as the B-side of the single "Baba O'Riley" on 6 November 1971 in Europe by Polydor Records.

Instead of a guitar solo, in the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
