In 1979, I heard a catchy song on the car radio, and really liked the voice of the female singer. I went to a record shop and bought the single, discovering that the band was called The Pretenders, and the vocalist was an American named Chrissie Hynde. The other members of the band were British.

They went on to be hugely successful in the UK, and are still touring today. The video was shot in London, and looks rather dated now. But it reminds me of my twenties.
