Which 1970 single from 'Tommy' reached No. 12 on the US Billboard Hot 100?

The 1970 single from Tommy that reached No. 12 on the US Billboard Hot 100 was “See Me, Feel Me.”

The song is closely tied to the climax of The Who’s 1969 rock opera Tommy. On the original album, “See Me, Feel Me” forms part of the closing sequence, “We’re Not Gonna Take It,” rather than functioning as a completely separate long-form track. Its repeated plea gives the finale an anthemic, communal quality.

The Who issued “See Me, Feel Me” as a US single in 1970, where it climbed to No. 12. The release capitalized on the growing profile of Tommy after major performances and appearances connected with the rock opera, including The Who’s set at Woodstock in 1969.

Listeners sometimes confuse it with “Overture,” “The Acid Queen,” or “I’m Free,” all prominent Tommy songs. The UK release history is also unusual: the single was withdrawn after less than a month and replaced by the four-track Tommy EP in November 1970.
