Long before he was doing a lounge act as Buster Poindexter, David Johansen was part of the punk/new wave scene. In the early 1970s, he was a member of the New York Dolls, along with Johnny Thunders and Sylvain Sylvain. The Dolls, along with The Velvet Underground and The Stooges, were pioneers of the punk movement. After the Dolls split up, Johansen struck out on his own, releasing his self-titled debut album in 1978 followed up by In Style in 1979. The 2 discs included tunes which would become staples of his live shows, including Funnky But Chic, Melody, Frenchette, You Touched Me To and Girls. This FM broadcast captures Johansen on his first solo tour, at The Agora in Cleveland on Ma9 27, 1978, 4 dozen years ago today.
