In 1984, the year before Quo opened Live Aid, Rossi and Parfitt appeared on the Band Aid charity single, "Do They Know It's Christmas?" Rossi has also enjoyed minor success with brief projects outside Status Quo. In 1985 when the band was on hold, he recorded two singles and a (so far unreleased) album – which was provisionally titled "Flying Debris" – with his longtime writing partner Bernie Frost. The single releases were "Modern Romance (I Want to Fall in Love Again)" (UK No. 54), and "Jealousy". In 1996 he issued a solo album, "King of the Doghouse", which was not a commercial success, although it produced a UK No. 42 single, "Give Myself to Love". Some years earlier, in 1976, he had appeared on the soundtrack album and film "All This and World War II" comprising cover versions of songs by the Beatles. Although the album sleeve credits the performance of "Getting Better" to Status Quo, the track featured Rossi's vocals and the London Symphony Orchestra. In 1977, he produced and played guitar on John Du Cann's solo album "The World's Not Big Enough". 3 May 2010 saw the release of his second solo album, "One Step at a Time", including a re-recording of Quo's 1973 classic "Caroline".
