Debbie has a very unique voice and is a musical chameleon…punk, reggae, dance, rap, jazz…she can sing it all. Just one of the reasons why she’s a living legend.

[@flyspith7686]

YES the Chameleon.. 💋💋

[@godsspeedify]

She has the most awards for all range genres in music.. she's the first female rap artist to be awarded and many more awards. SHE/and the Band are THE GOAT. 🐐

[@dudermcdudeface3674]

Also just her personality. The original punk-rock cokehead chick before it turned into the whole music scene of a decade.

[@herrbonk3635]

Blondie was great, indeed. But still, they borrowed a lof from acts like Sparks (what they did in 1973-74 as well as 76-77). Also, since the 1970s, many singers and musicians have performed an eclectic mix of punk, rock&roll, pop, schlager, soul, folk, reggae, funk, jazz, etc. At least outside the USA.

[@TattooedTownie]

Blondie has so many different sounds, that change from song to song. Atomic, Maria, Rapture, One Way or Another, The Tide is High, all awesome songs, all different vibes.

[@NickiTwix]

Love Atomic and Maria

[@hammermcphee]

I nominate: Dreaming

[@NickiTwix]

@@hammermcphee love that one too

[@Max_Flashheart]

Rapture will blow their minds...lol

[@BlackieNuff]

Love "Atomic"... I dunno about you lot, but it reminds me of like James Bond (Sean Connery era)... it sounds like it would have been a good main title theme song.

[@confucius12012]

So "One Way or Another" is a song that Brad would really like due to his response to this one. You should react to that one next!

[@jeffreyboyer3714]

Gonna git ya, git ya, git ya, one way...or another!

[@tefalhead7396]

Maybe 'Atomic' as well

[@JuandeFucaU]

@@tefalhead7396 maybe any song by a white woman?

[@joesmith8725]

"One Way or Another" I think so! Brad likes some punk rock, new wave, power pop. That's the song, very catchy. lol. I think Lex will like it, too. Even has a little guitar solo in it for Lex! They both will like "Atomic" and "Rapture" I bet.

[@vmmd17]

Check out this version! kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2iXqGyuZZx3nrc

[@yang-it-yin7002]

Blondie has a pretty good variety of tracks. "One way or Another" shows a more rocking side while "The Tide is High" has a Reggae flavor. Many do not realize that "The Tide is High" was a cover tune of the by the old Jamaican Ska group "The Paragons".

[@McShaganpronouncedShaegen]

What Yang said It is hard to pin any one genre on them. They were rapping aloooong time ago but "One Way Or Another" is still my favorite by them.

[@lyngusrobb5323]

Rapture is definitely unique.

[@JustMe-gn6yf]

@@lyngusrobb5323 yeah it was unique when I came out, it was rap before rap

[@CAPTEINRIGGS]

'Dreaming' is probably my favorite Blondie song.

[@CAPTEINRIGGS]

Hanging on the telephone, Pretty Baby and Picture This are awesome too. Parallel lines is probably one of my all time favorite albums. :)

[@MrBonners]

She was/is the queen of New Wave Punk.

[@TheConservativeinaction]

This is crazy heart of glass and now call me unblocked. Nice. The tide is high, rapture, dreaming, and hanging on the telephone are also good. This is one of the most famous and greatest choruses of all time.

[@HistoriasMinimasdeAmor]

It's not heart of glass , it's Call Me

[@TheConservativeinaction]

@@HistoriasMinimasdeAmor yeah i said that it was crazy that heart if glass was unblocked and NOW THIS SONG IS UNBLOCKED lol.

[@jackpearson1110]

Blondie, B-52, Pretenders, Elvis C, ......They rose to the top because they were special. Must have been a great time living in Manhattan. Some late night, last set crowd, watching Debbie Harry front Blondie. She also did well on the Muppets. Wonder who did her hair? Plus no less amazing, imagine walking into a club in Georgia and hearing Rock Lobster!

[@andrewbrown7246]

LOVE IT !!!!!!!!!! ( NOT Andrew here....Wife Diane)....seen All of them... Blondie 1st ( of 5 times) at CBGBs in 77? & 78?... seen Elvis 9 1st 81 at Tower near Philly in 81 Squeeze opened was AWESOME...Pretenders same place in 82...( same year I saw The Clash University City Center Philly ) B 52's saw 82 ? 83? same place same year I saw XTC....Emerald city in New Jersey....&& LMAO....met Fred S. on St Marks place in NYC in the 90's at a place called Venus Records....both standing at check out...just said Hi ! Love your music & saw you in 80's at place called Emerald City...He said"oh yeah...isn't that the place that had Great Neon ?'' I said Yep! & he said Thanks& left.....was Cool.......

[@bobjacubas6818]

Debra Harry (Blondie) was a huge Donna Summer fan, Heart of Glass was the group's omague to "I Fee Love" - Donna Summer, here Debra got to actually work with Summer's collaborator Giorgio Moroder.

[@miketube208]

exactly! giorgio moroder is a legend.

[@patches6309]

Lex is touching upon the differences between vocalists using either the "Head voice" or the "Chest voice" techniques, which sound exactly as she tried to describe each. Debbie Harry had such an amazing ability to shuffle thru different vibes and genres like Rock, Pop, Disco, Funk, Punk, Reggae & even a Rap song!!

[@John-tr5hn]

She still does. Saw them in concert last month.

[@MplsMaven]

Blondie has lots of excellent music!

[@eatthedots]

Debbie has a voice like an angel, ethereal.. it never feels forced, or like she's even trying very hard. She comes across so natural and so cool. There really has never been another singer like her, not even close. That's why it's soooo hard to sing her at karaoke. And this song... It's rock, disco, pop, punk, funk... Shook up in a soda bottle and then popped open. Fire 🔥

[@bradsullivan2495]

"One Way or Another" and "Dreaming" are two more solid Blondie songs.

[@chrislaustin]

This is probably my favorite Blondie cut, and that's saying something, as this band has a ton of great tunes. And for the record, this song was the title track from the movie "American Gigolo" sound track. So if the lyrics sound a little racy, it comes from a some what racy movie for the time.

[@s.mcpherson6354]

He was in *Looking for Mr. Goodbar* and *Days of Heaven* etc. before that, but that movie may be the best candidate for the one that 'made' Richard Gere's career. Then his next was *An Officer and a Gentleman* and bam: superstar. That was quite a collection of directors he happened to be chosen by. As for Blondie, I'm surprised followers didn't encourage Brad to start with *Rapture.*

[@ice-iu3vv]

blondie is the band. debbie harry is the singer. "one way or another" is a banger. "rapture" was the first rap song to get NATIONAL radio play.

[@jbjacobs9514]

With respect, Rapture's Delight came first and was a huge hit, but Rapture blew the airwaves right out of the water!

[@rafacastorena145]

Clem Burke's drumming is so underrated. He really showcases his talent on this song. 🥁

[@kellifranklin9872]

My favorite Blondie song. It’s featured in the Richard Gere film”American Gigolo.” This song is purely about sex and being up front about it. I love this song!

[@pulsarlights2825]

And Richard Gere shows off his small wee wee in that movie, should have won an Oscar for that

[@rodneymontgomery1324]

@@pulsarlights2825 he should have won a Oscar for his small weenis or because his acting was so good no one notice his short comings? 😉

[@Veyron1967]

I reckon he heard the cover on Deuce Bigalow.

[@2AOnlyWay]

I thought it was about being a call girl, especially when it was used in AG soundtrack✌🏼

[@ivorb8835]

Music by the legendary Giorgio Moroder, lyrics by Debbie Harry. Giorgio was the music behind Donna Summer, and so many songs used in 1980's movies. American Gigolo, Flashdance, Never Ending Story, Top Gun.

[@sealdrup]

Produced and composed by Italian musician Giorgio Moroder, with lyrics by Blondie singer Debbie Harry, the song appeared in the film and was released in the United States in early 1980 as a single. "Call Me" was No. 1 for six consecutive weeks on the Hot 100 chart, where it became the band's biggest single and second No. 1.

[@162berto]

Something you guys probably don’t know is Debbie Harry was an iconic figure in the NYC Graffiti world Specifically her face Graffiti writers ( Artists) would tag her face all over NYC Most notably on whole car tags ( Graffiti paintings that filled the whole outside of NYC subway trains ) Another really cool fact is Debbie Harry hosted Saturday Night Live in 1980 and instead of hosting and performing with her band Blondie ( recording artists who host get to host the show and still gets Two slots to perform their music) Debbie Harry decided to perform solo and not do a Blondie song but a cover of Teddy Pendergrass’s Love TKO Which was CRAZY F-ing COOL And she gave up her second slot to Sugar Hill records Harlem Hip Hop artists the FUNKY PLUS ONE and their song THAT’S THE JOINT Which to this day is my all time favorite HiP Hop song And it was the absolute FIRST time any Hip Hop artists performed LIVE on tv Still one of SNL’s greatest musical moments The other being Prince showing up unannounced to do his song Party Up in 1980 And the time the Hardcore LA Punk band FEAR performed with a gang of real NYC punk kid slam dancing all over the studio Getting the band banned for life and getting Cast member the late great John Belushi in a crap load of trouble with SNL’s creater and producer Lorne Micheals🤣🤣🤣

[@162berto]

Belushi got in trouble because he insisted the band play the show and the band show up with a dozen teenaged punk rockers from off the street and the kids went wild during the performance

[@diamondwchamp]

This song was used in American Gigolo. Blondie was very unique with Top Hits in 4 Different Categories (Rock, Reggae, Rap, Disco, etc). According to the BBC, Blondie is credited with launching the emerging genre of rap into the mainstream, by releasing the first original rap song ever to chart at number one in the United States.

[@kenrk]

Lex, there is something to it regarding tonal quality. :) I'd recommend checking out the channels "The Charismatic Voice" and "Beth Roars". They're always discussing vocal techniques with "chest voice" and "head voice".

[@richard_n]

Blondie was a very influential band even before they hit it big. They inspired a lot of the New York music scene in their early days. You guys need to watch CBGB to get the full story.

[@andrewbrown7246]

YEP !!! I saw them 1st in 78 ? 77? there !!!....place I 1st saw Blondie && The Ramones !! ( oh & NOT Andrew...Wife Diane here)..

[@shortaybrown]

It’s hilarious how they’re missing the fact that she’s a call girl, and singing a song about sex work! Laff!

[@jollyrodgers7272]

This was the theme song for the film American Gigolo (Paramount, 1980). More Blondie songs: DREAMING, THE TIDE IS HIGH, RAPTURE, SHAYLA, SUNDAY GIRL, BERMUDA TRIANGLE BLUES, UNION CITY BLUE, THE KIDNAPPER, ATOMIC, X OFFENDER, I DIDN'T HAVE THE NERVE TO SAY NO, etc.

[@RaniOsnat]

Blonde was a crossover band between disco, punk, reggae and new wave. Their songs represent different styles yet still have a common sound and catchy riffs.

[@robertevans2450]

there is a great tribute live version of this song ft. Debbie, Gwen Stefani, and the lead singer of Garbage...worth your time and effort to look it up and watch.

[@A2Z83]

you need to hear One Way Or Another. she goes heavier in that song. Youve probably heard it before, it gets a lot of play. Call Me is sort of in between that and Heart Of Glass.

[@janinebedfordl]

No-one seems to have mentioned "Picture This"? I would suggest that or "Atomic" or any of the other great suggestions really 😁 I mean it's Blondie - classic new-wave power pop, great stuff

[@timpindar]

Agree re Picture This - their best song!

[@beebela13sh]

OMG! Love that! I also love "In The Flesh" and "Rip Her To Shreds". Early Blondie is killer!!!

[@jamesdignanmusic2765]

You're talking about the difference between head voice and chest voice - two distinct singing techniques both used well by Debbie Harry. In "Heart of Glass" and in the bridge of this song she was using her head voice; in the verses and chorus of this song, it was the more powerful chest voice. The heart of Blondie is Debbie's singing and Clem Burke's amazing drumming (check out the song "Dreaming" to hear Clem in full flight).

[@anthonymurphyDroghedaRural]

Atomic is my favourite Blondie song, the bass solo alone is worth the listen.

[@BeatLA24]

Mine too. I really fell in love with the song when it was featured in GTA: Vice City. It was the perfect song to listen while speeding around in a sports car.

[@anthonymurphyDroghedaRural]

@@BeatLA24 I first heard it on a Coca-Cola add in the mid 90's loved the band ever since

[@sca88]

Some great Blondie songs, 'Dreaming', 'The Hardest Part', 'Union City Blue', 'Shayla'.

[@bobbymapula2918]

“One way or another” is the next tune to react to imo. I really think you’d both love it.

[@blahahtheelder4343]

I had the biggest crush on blondie as a teenager. So unique yet classy. And definitely weird enough to hold my interest. Her vocal contributions to the movie "Rock and Rule" were amazing

[@wesjohnson1783]

Bring on the Edison Balls!

[@BossDM-2]

"American Gigolo" theme song (most won't even know that film). Just one more reminder of how good pop/rock music used to be. Great vocal analysis Lex. Brad, how could ANYONE ever say Heart of Glass is a bad song?

[@davidcollins897]

Not sure if you guys watch The Voice, but the girl who won a couple seasons ago covered this very nicely. That was the first time I ever heard the song and of course had to go back and hear the original. First time listening to Blondie and it was a really nice find.

[@grantstephens2555]

The "Call me" part is probably reminding you of Muse - uprising. But they say "So come on".

[@pastorofmuppets22]

This was a pop single with a disco flavor... because disco was big at the time.Essentially, Blondie was a punk band.Much like the band Berlin,who's biggest hit was the theme song for Top Gun,but was essentially a punk band.The Go Go's and the B 52's as well...had commercial success with their few pop songs,but were totally punk bands.

[@CatherinePearl100]

Lex is absolutely right. The nose helps regulate the air pressure which affects how you sound when you sing. There are many singers that normally would have gotten plastic surgery on their noses, but did not do so because they were afraid it would affect how they sounded. Barry Manilow and Barbra Streisand come to mind.

[@Gdpud]

Blondie was every boys dream girl circa 76-77 onwards.. I should know lol. 😁 Fun fact - Blondie are still touring , & have starred at numerous festivals (check out YT for shows). At the sprightly age of 76, this year, Debbie Harry still has it & her mesmerizing voice! ❤❤

[@vanceblinn1501]

A Punk rock icon! Blondie is timeless.

[@jeffreekoch9298]

Blondie! They were great and Debbie Harry. Hey, yall really need to check out Yeah Yeah Yeahs (Karen O) ! And Metric (Emily Haines)! I know yall will like them. They are a 2000s - Current band. Inspired by Blondie, Siousxee and Banshees, and The Pretenders. Same kind of genge. Alternative, post-punk/new wave, dance-rock. Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Metric are modern day versions of those groups. 🎸 Very good.

[@brobinson7978]

What HS boy was not in love with Blondie in the day? Great songs all around in her collection

Fell in love with Blondie (Deborah Harry) when I was 7 and still fascinated today. Such a force.

[@mikefetterman6782]

Blondie has the distinction of having the FIRST RAP ON TOP 40. The song RAPTURE has a rap break at the end that for most people was the 1st taste of rap they ever heard in the 70s

[@derekhauffe7197]

“you’re like a nose conspiracy theorist” One of the funniest things I’ve ever heard!

[@riko3766]

Call Me and Heart of Glass both hit no.1 in US Singles Chart. Their album Parallel Lines is a perfect pop album there´s no fillers at all. Love your channel B & L.

[@perfessermarshton5209]

11:59 is one of my favorite Blondie songs. Really the entire Parallel Lines album is worth a listen.

[@redman6T8]

I love Blondie’s earlier punk stuff like ‘Livin in the real world’ and ‘Eat to the beat’ and ‘One way or another’ is great too. ‘Dreaming’ is a drum masterclass by Clem Burke. So many to choose from.

[@Kari_B61ex]

Debbie Harry was my heroine - my memories fading, as I'm getting on a bit, but my first memories of Blondie was 'Denis' and 'One way or Another' maybe around 1977 - so I was 16 or so. I loved New Wave/Punk back then, and sill do.... Check out 'Picture This' and 'One Way or Another' - both favorites of mine. x

Everything "official" has them as later than that, but I sailed "Parallel Lines" into an apartment stucco wall, along with all my "K-tel" LPs, right before I left to join the Marine Corps. I enlisted in April of '76. Still not quite sure why I did that...

Now Grace Jones would be cool! Very eclectic and talented, great voice. '70s/'80s, all over the place with her music (new wave, post-punk, funk, artsy reggae all mixed up together) . She's the black version of Annie Lennox (Eurythmics). I think Lex and Brad will like her. Grace Jones and David Bowie were good friends, big influences.

LOL... I came here to suggest the same 2 songs! One Way Or Another is a littler "harder," I've heard it covered by punk bands. And she raps on Rapture. Might not seem it, but Blondie came out of the punk scene and has a large fan base within it.

"Call Me" was used in Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo,, The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, Bride Of Chucky, Pitch Perfect 3, Mindhunter • s2e2, RuPaul's Drag Race • s8e4, The Masked Singer • s1e2, Dirty Lines • s1e1, Westworld, American Gigolo • s1e1 and was the theme to the 1980 film American Gigolo .. and possibly more times as covers in other movies and TV shows that couldn't afford, or wouldn't spend, what it would cost for the right to a sampling. In other words, it's been heard a lot, as least in parts over the decades.

[@Starbuck-dr7yl]

Blondie. Iconic. Originally is more of a punk band. But they have different sounds. Debbie Harry is one the most iconic front women of a band. Their sound is really diverse. One way or another, the ultimate stalker song. Rapture was ahead of its time.

[@bernman23]

[@dekemason]

Debbie was such an Icon of the 70's....The total embodiment of an era.

[@Brashnir]

re: noses - the nasal cavity is often used by singers to change the character of their voice. It's more the cavity behind the nose, opened by relaxing the soft palate and used as a bit of a resonance chamber to give more power and a more open sound to a vocal. I wrote a song years ago where I sang the chorus twice with it closed, and then open for the final crescendo. Debbie Harry is an outstanding vocalist (far better than me) and does use this technique as well. This song is sung open all the way, but she closes it for a softer, more muted tone in other songs.

[@bobbybobob123]

"Blondie" is the name of the band. The lead singer of the band is Debbie Harry.

[@russgilbertson8689]

Punk Rock - Blondie is from the 80's original . Great stuff !!!

[@jasonnoneya9017]

Muse's Uprising kinda jacked the sound of Call Me's chorus. Which is why that part sounds familiar

[@maxbrazil3712]

That hard core shredding techno beat is pure Giorgio Moroder. The soundtrack to "America Gigolo" is a classic!

[@wadsworthaaron]

Clem Burke is like a percussion machine driving this song... Like Stewart Copeland, he made his high-hat do incredible things. Growing up, this song was my favorite of Debbie Harry's... and if memory serves, she did it on the "Muppet Show" with Animal and the Muppet Show Band ^^

Blondie and Pat Benatar used to sound similar to me in singing and accent, they are both from NYC, so that might be why. lol Blondie was a very talented unique group during the '70s and '80s. They could mix up new wave punk, disco, funk, rap, reggae, etc. Growing out of the NYC punk, CBGB club scene attributed to that and expanded their style and sound. Also the Studio 54 scene (disco club in NYC). Now is time for yall to check out punkier videos for "One Way or Another" , "Detroit 442" and also "Atomic". Atomic has a new wave, funky, disco sound still, too. But, it's very different, ethereal sounding. check them out.

Blondie was such a hit , had some great songs

This song is from "American Gigalo" starring Richard Gere.

That song was used as a ad for attorneys for car crash victims not long ago

Lex read my mind. When I was listening to it I was thinking of singers that I like because their voice is like another instrument. Mike Patton comes to mind as another.

Debbie Harry is a G, from Cbgb's where the punks where at, to the top. I give her a lot of props

[@ashleyharris693]

She's so awesome

[@americanaforever6725]

“Dreaming” is another hard hitting hit song

[@alexheaven5626]

Would definitely recommend Atomic by blondie. 100% my favourite song by them and still in this kinda vibe. Think you'll both like it

[@pulsarlights2825]

The song is from the movie "American Gigolo", the one where Richard Gere goes bottomless and shows off his bad genetics....wtf was he thinking?

[@kennethcamilleri4678]

This is the sound track of the movie…..American Giglio……with a young actor named Richard Gere….it came out in the late seventies……

You should check out her earlier song from 1980 "Rapture" is a combination of new wave, disco and hip hop with a rap section. It Is considered the first mainstream crossover RAP,ish song. Very interesting song for 1980. Most white had never heard rap style music before. With that said jimmi hendrix did a song dont remember the name but it had a rap flavor to it.

Another Band that successfully reinvented their sound from year to year depending on what was Hot & What was Not. This song was the theme song to the 1980 film American Gigolo starring Richard Gere. It was Produced and composed by Italian musician, and DISCO King Giorgio Moroder. It was there 3rd album Parallel Lines released September 1978 that put Blondie on Everyone’s mind.

This was the #1 song of the entire year 1980, outselling everything else. Very, very big hit.
