Chrissie Hynde can be seen wearing this jacket on the cover of the Pretenders' debut album. More about Chrissie Chrissie graduated from Firestone High School in Akron, Ohio. She worked with several bands in Ohio before moving to England. By 1978, Chrissie hooked up with a three-piece outfit from the English town of Hereford. The newly formed quartet called themselves the Pretenders, and, in 1980, they released a self-titled first album that redefined the role of a woman in a band, stretched the boundaries of lyrical subject matter and frankness, and most importantly, rocked like the roar of a Harley gang. |
