Tales of Paul Simonon's effortless rizz: The Clash signing autographs at their WBLS radio interview in NYC, 1981, as captured by Paul Busch.

When the Clash came to the US, the band, impressed with the burgeoning hip hop scene, fully embraced that NYC vibe and 'The Magnificent Seven" was one of the earliest takes on rap by a rock band. When they hit New York in May 1981 for a three-week residency, the landmark black-owned soul and R&B outlet WBLS had "The Magnificent Seven" on heavy rotation.

Here's footage of The Clash performing the song on New York-based talk show "The Tomorrow Show" with Tom Snyder, as well as archival shots of the band in Manhattan during their residency at Bond’s International Casino: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WD5N0rTsulQ
