The Pretenders - Stop Your Sobbing - 1979 (Better Graphics & Audio) скачать видео бесплатно

Did Pete and the other deceased members die of heroin overdoses? They brought enjoyment to many people with their music and you cannot take money with you so they lived a worthy but tragic life. Sad that they died after getting the success they deserved.Maybe the drugs were used to cope with stress and not because they wanted a high.

A happy birthday to :Peter Granville "Pete" Farndon (1952 – 1983) was an English bassist and founding member of the rock band the Pretenders. Farndon attended Hereford Cathedral School in his home town of Hereford, before embarking on his musical career with the Pretenders. In addition to playing bass with the group, Farndon sang backup vocals and co-wrote two of the group's songs ("The Wait" and "Space Invader"), before being dismissed from the group on 14 June 1982 (Uncut, 1999).The Pretenders - Stop Your Sobbin (1979)From the album : The PretendersThe Kinks recorded "Stop Your Sobbing" on Kinks, which was rushed out in order to capitalize on the success of "You Really Got Me." The song has the singer annoyed that his girlfriend cries too much, and he wants her to stop. But the singer's pleas fail and by the end of the song he remains frustrated at the unresolved situation. Davies biographer Thomas Kitts suggests that the song may have been inspired by Davies having recently broken up with an old girlfriend.AllMusic's Tom Maginnis described the track as "grounded more heavily in the classic 50’s style of songwriting and playing, ”Stop Your Sobbing” is a far cry from the wild aggression of ”You Really Got Me”." Music critic Johnny Rogan described it as "a hidden gem in the Kinks canon." Rogan praises how Davies' "fragile vocal" works well with the theme. It was not released as a single.A live version of the song appeared on One for the Road, and the studio version appeared on the The Ultimate Collection.In 1979, The Pretenders released their version of "Stop Your Sobbing" on their self-titled debut album. The recording of this cover of the song led to the relationship between Ray Davies and Chrissie Hynde of The Pretenders, which eventually resulted in the birth of a child. The Pretenders' version of "Stop Your Sobbing" was one of three demos given to Nick Lowe and became the A-side for the first single the band released. After this recording, Lowe abandoned the fledgling group claiming that the band "wasn't going anywhere". However, the single made the Top 40, reaching #34 in the UK. It didn't perform quite as well in the US, reaching #65 on the Billboard Hot 100.This version of the song was one of many examples of songs initially recorded by The Kinks that were covered by other bands during the late seventies and early eighties. Other examples include the version of "David Watts" recorded by The Jam and "I Go to Sleep," an unreleased track written by Ray Davies, which, like "Stop Your Sobbing," was covered by The Pretenders.Rolling Stone Magazine critic Ken Tucker calls the Pretenders' "Stop Your Sobbing" "ideal radio fare," describing it as having "Labourer of Lust's feathery pop feel" and that "echoed to enhance Davies' wistful melancholy, Hynde sounded like a solo Mamas and the Papas, but her tone surged at the ends of choruses to imply enormous resentment at even having to thinkabout sobbing."
