Happy Birthday to Fred Smith, American bass guitarist, born on this day in 1948. He was the original bassist with Blondie until he quit in spring 1975 to replace Richard Hell who had left Television over disputes with Tom Verlaine. #punk #punkrock #oldschoolpunk #fredsmith #television #blondie #history #punkhistory #historyofpunk https://www.instagram.com/p/B-y0z8toJ_q/?igshid=rtturru7e4py
