Blondie’s “(I’m Always Touched By Your) Presence Dear” appeared on the band’s 1978 LP Plastic Letters. The song was written by former bassist Gary Valentine, who was no longer a member of the group when the tune was recorded and released.

“(I’m Always Touched By Your) Presence Dear” reached #10 on the UK charts and hit the top 20 in the Netherlands and in Belgium. Below, you’ll find excellent video from Europe’s TopPop program which aired on April 29, 1978.
