The Pretenders & Chrissie Hynde: Brass in Pocket

By Mick Chambers

The Pretenders are an English-American rock group, formed during March 1978, in Hereford, England, UK. The original band consisted of initiator and main songwriter Chrissie Hynde (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), James Honeyman-Scott (lead guitar, backing vocals, keyboards), Pete Farndon (bass guitar, backing vocals), and Martin Chambers (drums, backing vocals, percussion).

Following the drug-related deaths of James & Pete, the group had many changes in their lineup, Chrissie having been their only constant member. The Pretenders' hit songs include Brass in Pocket (1979), Talk of the Town (1980), Message of Love (1981), Back on the Chain Gang (1982), Middle of the Road (1983), Don't Get Me Wrong (1986), My Baby (1986), and I'll Stand by You (1994). The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2005.
