49 | Pretenders | From Chrissie Hynde’s autobiography Reckless:
“I moved into Don [Letts]’s house in Forest Hill, which he shared with Jeannette and a bunch of mates… Jeannette’s friend Janice had committed suicide there, and I got her room… It was in Janice’s room that I wrote “Private Life,” which Grace Jones eventually recorded with our heroes Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare”.
This was 1976, according to an interview in The Face in 1984.
The house was on Westwood Park. |
50 | The Clash | From Chrissie Hynde’s autobiography Reckless: “My room was a sanctuary, as no one would come anywhere near it. Joe Strummer took it over after I left.” |
