Simplicity is the third and final solo album recorded by Tim Curry released on A&M Records in 1981.
The LP was released in the early Summer of 1981 and was mostly cover versions of well-known songs, seasoned with Curry's dramatic flair. The Reggae-flavored original Working on My Tan (reminiscent of I Will from Read My Lips) was released as a single, but failed to get much notice. Los Angeles New Wave radio station KROQ chose to play the Lovin' Spoonful cover Summer in the Cityin its place, to some local success. A second single, the original ballad and title-track, Simplicity, was also released in 1981. The album managed to bubble under the Hot 100, peaking at #112 on the US LP charts.
