Simplicity was the third and final album recorded by the English actor/singer Tim Curry, released in 1981.
Whereas his previous album Fearless (1979) had been almost entirely original songs, Simplicity was a half-originals half-covers mix, and contained a wider variety of source material than the covers on his first album Read My Lips (1978). Covers include a version of The Zombies' "She's Not There" and Martha and the Vandellas' "Dancing in the Streets", both of which were hits in 1964. Curry also performs a version of "Take Me, I'm Yours", originally a 1978 hit by Squeeze.
The track "Working on My Tan" was released as a single in certain countries (backed with "On A Roll") but was not commercially successful. Curry did not make any promo videos for the album.
