I've always had a soft spot for The Pretenders, but usually their rockier stuff.
This is at the other end of the spectrum completely, not like their usual stuff. The clue is that it's a cover of a Ray Davies song who, of course, was Chrissie Hynde's partner at the time. It's a powerful and intense ballad.
Interestingly The Kinks never released a version, it was originally released by a band called The Applejacks (never heard of them!)
