After kicking around the US, UK and France for over a
decade, Chris Hynde finally wound up on the path that would
eventually lead her to the Pretenders. Towards the end of
1977, while living in squats around London, she met Tony
Secunda, onetime band manager of such acts as Steeleye Span
and The Move.
Chrissie, with Fred Berk (Johnny Moped) on bass and Nigel
Pegrum (Steeleye Span) on drums, recorded a few demos
including The Phone Call.
In March 1978, Tony arranged a meeting with Anchor Records'
Dave Hill, who was setting up a new label, Real Records, in

------ About the song I'll Stand By You performed by Pretenders
I'm not that familiar with the Pretenders, it's the second song I really know. Brass in Pocket is the other one, but this song makes me want to know more songs, sung by Chrissie Hynde. This song is beautiful, sung by such a beautiful voice. When I heard this for the first time, I couldn't stop listening it. I still can't. I love it..and it's such a tearjerker too.. :'(.

The Pretenders Rock! | Reviewer: Scott
------ About the song Middle Of The Road performed by Pretenders
This is on of the most kick-ass bands that was around during the 80's. This song in particular has one of the best lines ever recorded, with "when you own a big chunk of the bloody third world, the babies just come with the scenery." This band could rock with the best of 'em. Drugs took thier toll on some members, unfortunatly, but Chrissy keeps making great music. Go Pretenders!

------ About the song From The Heart Down performed by Pretenders
This is one of the greatest songs ever written. It is timeless, it feels personal, and it is so well worded that it gives me chills every time, even 5 years after buying the album.
