Born on Sep 7: Chrissie Hynde (The Pretenders)

Christine Ellen "Chrissie" Hynde (born 7 September 1951, Akron, Ohio) is an American rock musician, best known as the leader of the rock/new wave band The Pretenders.

"Don't Get Me Wrong" was the first single taken from the group's 1986 album, Get Close.  Hynde stated in the VH1 Story Tellers series that she got the inspiration for the chorus' melody while on a British Airways flight. The airlines distinct "tone" jingle, which was played at certain times in the flight (for announcements from the pilot, seatbelt attention, etc.) had the same series of tones/notes as the chorus: DON'T- GET- ME- WRONG.
