Agreed. I saw them play in a bar in 1982. It was a college bar and most of the patrons didn't want to pay the 8 bucks to see the concert because it was their beer money so there was probably around 50 people there. I didn't know they were playing that night but paid the 8 bucks and had 2 bucks left over for a beer. They played on the dance floor and I stood in front a few feet away from Chrissie and watching them play the entire concert. Very fun and cool times.

@@Kawasaki750triple Lucky you! Along with Pat Benatar and Ann Wilson (and Suzi Quatro) Chrissie is a natural rocker. I would have given up the beer and stuck the $2 in her tip jar.😁😁

@@rocco... Yeah she is. Most of the people who paid to get in were sitting at the tables around the dance floor but I stood on the dance floor in front of Chrissie and she kept pointing at me and I was like I think she wants to party with me afterwards LOL. Man I wish I could have partied with her.

Best women singers in the past 43 have to be Taylor swift, faith hill, Trisha yearwood - then Chrissie Hynde

​@@robertweir5313Taylor Swift before Chrissie? You absolute plank 🙄

That's really hard to define. But recognizing the LaGrange point of perfect balance between all seven extremes of dimensional reality would be of great help. And this was one of those songs that always made me smile. Chrissie Hynde is one of my favorites from the 80's.

James, Martin and Pete are incredibly handsome dudes

Pure talent and unique no one like her.

And a philosopher. She will often hold up a copy of the Bhagavad-gita, the Sanskrit scripture spoken by Lord Krishna. If you look at her picture you can see she wears tulsi mala, the necklace made of scared wood worn by Hare Krishna devotees.

Yes, her use of note bends and swells make it sound so anticipating and hot! Also, the audible breathing in her voice, it really adds to the sensuous quality. She sounds both vulnerable, spunky and longing at the same time.

Epic story !!! Love when life throws us a curve and we blast it out of the park

That had to be........awkward 😳😏

@@Dreyno I bet it was awesome. Chrissie Hynde in your lap and singing to YOU? A dream come true!

awkward...

@@bongodave13 I was clearly too subtle.

It's amazing that the band even survived those losses; Chrissie has said that the determination to make up for the loss, just when they felt they had so much more to give, has contributed to the longevity of the band. I think the loss was made even worse for her personally by the fact that Farndon died less than a year after he had been fired while Honeyman.-Scott died just two days after he had been part of the decision to sack Farndon. The vibes of guilt and recrimination around the band during those months are easy to imagine - also, the fear of how they might look in the music press.

this was released in the 70s. not 80s

still got the single

@@lorainewinn6798 I would like to find it sometime

Made it my phone ring tone 😎

It's still a great song

instaBlaster.

Yes, absolutely, one of the essential bands of those new wave years. This is such a great song, half-understatedly erotic and with that tight, laid-back beat (there was some buried soul influence to them , kinda like the jazz undercurrent of early Dire Straits).

Rather sad that the influence of such a singular band has waned to nothing...

100% definitely defined that time.

They did define the late 70s and early 80s (1978 - 1984).

@@louise_rose I think Chrissie can't escape her upbringing in Akron, Ohio, (relatively) near Detroit, and all the Motown influence that had on her. You can hear it in her singing voice, I think. There is always in undertone of R & B.

Jealous! 😀

So setimental about then and 90,s myself sometimes!😀

Right? This is some powerful music here, revives the memories of being young and carefree!

This was released in the 70s. not 80s

Yes MTV was fascinating, it supposedly folded last year. There was more music shows that weren't contests😅

I agree with you there. I was 6 years old when this song came out. It still sounds as good as it always has. It never lost its touch. It is really great

80’s childhood was the best!

Growing up in the 80’s was the best 🎹🎤 🎶 🎵 🎼 📻

you"re so right!!

I've been going through and making a play list for myself and when listening to certain ones from the early '80's, when my marriage broke up, my parents, kids and I moved out of state to my and my mom's home state I thought, "Oh goody! A NEW start!" Yeah...oh well, so much for that idea...especially for as backwards woman I was...men haven't changed, though music has, and my sons are all grown. I'm a proud Gramma, even though I rarely get to see my granddaughters...but, they're all fine! The WORST thing over the past decades was the loss of my beautiful son, Michael, in 2015...fentanyl. But, he had had back surgery and the script was real...TOTALLY above board and legal. But he had suffered so for year after year and didn't have a clue about fentanyl and what it would do to him...I'd rather it had been me. Thanks to anyone who shares my words. I would listen/read anyone, any time, because at my age (76) I've been through hell and high water, and would never refuse to listen to anyone's words....

It just brought tears to my eyes too and I don't even know why - probably because she's awesome; that time will never return, we're all getting older and some of us missed out on life. Chrissie clearly didn't.

Feel the same.....I just thought it would go on and on...

...because, it's a TIMELESS CLASSIC - and it will stay fresh for infinity...💞☺

The lyrics to this song came to me out of the blue while I was relaxing. I didn't know who sang it but I googled the words "I need your attention" and found it within a few minutes. I guess I needed to hear it.

Omg I didn't even know that lol 🙈☺️

@@ripley2164 Thought you were going to say you wrote it.

It's weird, but a lot of alt rock songs made in 1978 or 1979 sound more up to date than songs made in the 80s which used technology which now sounds dated

@@michelangelo144 The cutting edge technologies at that Trade Show were things like the Bone Fone (google or KZfaq it)- which was basically a radio that sat on your neck and shoulders and provided you with personal tunes... Laser Discs were all the rage (I remember one company showing a compiled disc with clips from Jaws II, Elton John video for a song called “Ego”, etc)... the videocassette-format battle between VHS and Beta was big news (Sony had the Betamax machine but still lost out to the VHS format machines)... Cheers!

understandably so. yeah!

Are you sure it was 1979? Because this video was released in early 1980 according to VH1's The Big 80's which has been off the air for more than 20 years. I used to have the record and not only it's printed and copyrighted 1979. It's also copyrighted 1980. And the album was released in January, 1980.

@@jasondudash5501 the single was released in 1979, before the full album... the video was made to promote the single on British music shows so it was released with the single. That VH-1 show used to drive me nuts with incorrect info.

@@leebarbier5257 When an album is released, sometimes the video doesn't get released until a year later. Especially if the album is released at the end of the year. But I do feel your pain about VH1 music videos showing a year off. But it's usually because they weren't released until then. So I'm only putting what I remember seeing on VH1. Do you remember The Tubes? They've always been my favorite group. My favorite album by The Tubes is The Completion Backward Principle, released in April, 1981. The first song on that album is Talk To Ya Later, which is my favorite song of all time and in my book it's the best rock 'n' roll song ever written! Whenever I watched VH1's The Big 80's, I've always waited for The Tubes' Talk To Ya Later video to come on and to see what year it would show. 1981 or 1982? But I never did get to see The Tubes' Talk To Ya Later on VH1's The Big 80's. But I got to see The Tubes' She's A Beauty on The Big 80's and it showed 1983 which is the correct year and the song first charted on April 9th of that year. So if I were to see The Tubes' Talk To Ya Later on The Big 80's and it showed, 1982, it would've drove my up a wall! But a high school friend told me he saw The Tubes' Talk To Ya Later on VH1's The Big 80's, but he doesn't remember the exact year it showed. But he told me he was almost positive that it showed 1981. But on the music sheet of Talk To Ya Later, the copyright date shows 1982 and I'm mad about that! I wrote to the publisher but I couldn't get them to update it to 1981 instead of 1982. So I don't blame you at all! I feel the same way you do. Especially with The Tubes' Talk To Ya Later being copyrighted 1982 on sheet music. And because I never got to see The Tubes' Talk To Ya Later on VH1's The Big 80's, I put 1981 on the youtube comments of The Tubes' Talk To Ya Later video which is the correct year. And I like it like that.

1979 I think

That was my thought too. I had no idea this song was that old.

She's a classic

Yeah, I remember watching MTV and other tv channels/shows in the 1980s/early 90s and getting introuced to lots of exciting new bands that way. Of course many of those videos are now on KZfaq, but today's bands and record labels don't really come up with as powerful songs and videos as back then! Most of the good stuff on KZfaq, when it comes to music videos and live clips, is from bands that launched their careers more than twenty years ago, or even forty years ago... :(
