Building the Perfect Beast is the second solo studio album by American rock singer Don Henley, released on November 19, 1984, by Geffen Records. A commercial and critical success, it is generally regarded as the culmination of the smoother, more adult-oriented sound of Henley's solo work. As with his debut solo studio album I Can't Stand Still (1982), Henley collaborated primarily with guitarist Danny Kortchmar, along with members of the then current line-up of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, who contributed to the writing of the songs: guitarist Mike Campbell, keyboardist Benmont Tench and drummer Stan Lynch, the last of whom would later collaborate with Henley on composing the Eagles' song "Learn to Be Still", which was released on their second live album Hell Freezes Over (1994). The album also features contributions from Toto's keyboardists Steve Porcaro and David Paich, Fleetwood Mac's lead guitarist and co-lead vocalist, Lindsey Buckingham, the Go-Go's lead vocalist Belinda Carlisle...
