FIRST TIME HEARING BLONDIE HEART OF GLASS REACTION

[@827dusty]

Debbie Harry of the band "Blondie" is a beautiful woman, with a great voice.

[@scotthall2723]

If you are captivated by her eyes, check out the video for the Bangles "Walk Like An Egyptian". Susanna Hoffs will grab you the same way. Though the Bangles cover of Simon & Garfunkel's "Hazy Shade Of Winter" to my ears is better than the original. Note that Blondie was out during the disco era, so that's where the dance vibe comes from. For the group Berlin, Terri Nunn took a Debbra Harry look on stage - especially for their college tour featuring the song "Take My Breath Away" (Top Gun movie) -- they opened for Tears For Fears (I worked spotlight for that concert one summer).

[@annettecorbett9842]

Debbie Harry is everybody's hot auntie 😄😍

[@VandelayIndustriesWorldWide]

To me she's ageless.. from 1980 in my dreams she's ageless haha

[@doggiesarus]

Debbie Harry-- one of the most beautiful women of the century! Great voice and career as well.

[@Bambi_Harris_Author]

In the song, Rapture, she does a cool rap kind of thing. Debbie Harry is pretty groovy :-)

[@ilianacatspawn8848]

Grandmaster Flash was actually supposed to do the rap on that record and in the video. But he blew them off and didn't show up. So Deborah Harry did it.

[@KandKs_GG]

And it was the first song containing any rap to hit the top 40.

[@freebirdtony]

Bambi, you have a good ear for music.

[@AstroXeno]

Someone once told me that before Run DMC did their cover of Walk This Way, Rapture held the title for best selling rap single of all time (I know, right?)

[@joelliebler5690]

Bambi Harris A real good one👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@Treky64]

Some other songs to react to by Blonde :"Call Me" , "One Way or Another", "Rapture", "Hanging on the Telephone" , and "Maria"

[@samiis1260]

She really lets loose on Maria

[@alrivers2297]

And Dreaming

[@claires9100]

All excellent choices!

[@gracecheri997]

Beautiful. Way before Madonna.

[@TonyPucci11]

Clem Burke is an amazing drummer. His performance in “Dreaming” is particularly awesome!

[@MrVato53]

This version has been edited. 4:30 she says "soon turned out to be a heart of glass". In the actual recording, she says "soon turned out to be a pain in the ass". Read her lips. Video has been edited. I think that takes away from the artist's conception of their music.

[@WireWeHere]

Satellite TV back in 81 had a Blondie special that talked about the last minute change to suit the American ASS limits in place at the time. I thought the BBC would have been their biggest pain, you couldn't say damn if you were saving the country with your finger. Check out Auntie Beeb's list of banned songs. Does anyone know why I Don't Like Mondays and Come Monday both made the BBC list? Mr. Broad has been in their sights no matter which way he's looking.

[@jamesanderson5268]

I was thinking that too.

[@emmanuelfani5385]

Never noticed that

[@rachedabensellam707]

I hate when that happens, I know the song exactly the way she sings it with the pain in the ass phrase. It takes away the nice twist of the song.

[@kenrk]

Listen to "Call Me", great song. :)

[@larrywt656]

I can't even begin to tell you how big of a crush I had on Debbie Harry when I was in high school!! BTW, the name of the band is Blondie. Debbie Harry is the lead singer of the band.

[@andreawalter9212]

You will enjoy "One Way Or Another." The vocals are amazing on that song!

"Blondie" is the name of the band, not a person. Debbie Harry sings for "Blondie" she isn't Blondie.

[@sinenominecc]

@Richard Peters Nope. Debbie Harry definitely had blond hair, but in 1979 they even started a button campaign call "Blondie is a Group."

[@KColes63]

@Richard Peters You're right she is Debbie Harry and the Group is Blondie, however, without her there is no Blondie!

[@squidly12009]

The drummer Clem Burke is a locomotive beast.

[@dailycoffee8533]

Play "The Tide is High, "Call Me", "Rapture", and " One Way Or Another", great songs by Blondie.

[@Tuesdays_Gone]

They dubbed the part where she sings, “soon turned out, it was a pain in the ass.” LOL.

[@andreadeamon6419]

She actually says deep in the ass. Watch her mouth when she says it. I have hearing issues so i read people's mouths

[@ilianacatspawn8848]

Check out Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, I love rock and roll. It's an iconic song which you probably have already heard but just don't know it.

[@freebirdtony]

"Rapture" is a song that's definitely worth listening to, it was released in January of 1979. She and her band incorporated segments of Rap into their Rock-n-Roll. Surely ahead of its time.

[@Rodgerdodger66]

"Rapture" was actually released in 1981, not 1979. The point still stands, though.

[@cici7333]

Debbie Harry is enchanting, I agree! She's a really good person, besides being an excellent artist. And yes, Blondie (the band) are so talented.

[@jesse7603]

Ex- Playboy Bunny. Very successful group. Love Deborah. Try Rapture next. You'll be surprised!

Heart of Glass was also originally a funky reggae song a few years before their producer gave it a disco-synth makeover.

Blondie, one of my all time favorite bands. Back in the early 80s I saw her perform at Belmont park in NYC, she was awesome. I was only 30 ft from the stage. Fun fact. She was a punk rocker but this song made the rounds at discos and she got famous

[@MRoyClark]

The singer is Debbie Harry. The band is Blondie. It's definitely NOT a solo act, though Debbie Harry had a couple of minor solo hits in the 80s. This wasn't actually the 80s, though - they broke up in 1982. This song was from 1978, actually. Alongside acts such as Television, Ramones, Talking Heads, and Patti Smith Group, Blondie was one of the key NYC Punk Rock / New Wave acts to emerge from CBGBs and the Lower East Side in the mid-70s. They ended up being the best-selling US act of the New Wave era. Stylistically, Punk was a very small part of their sonic palette. "Heart of Glass" (US#1, 1978) was their main foray into Disco. They also played with Old Skool Rap on "Rapture" (US#1 - 2wks, 1981), Calypso on "The Tide Is High" (US#1, 1981), Glam Rock on "One Way or Another" (US#24, 1978), Power Pop on "Sunday Girl" (UK#1, 1978) and "Dreaming" (US#27, 1979), Synth-Rock on "Call Me" (US#1 - 6wks!!!, 1980), and Spaghetti-Western-Mutant-Disco-New-Wave on my personal favorite Blondie hit, "Atomic" (US#39; UK#1, 1979). Despite having several giant US hits, they had a number of songs that were much bigger in the UK ["Denis", "Union City Blue", "Picture This", and "(I'm Always Touched by Your) Presence, Dear" - all UK Top20 hits that never charted in the US] and Australia [their first hit anywhere, "In the Flesh" (AUS#2, 1976)]. They also reunited briefly in 1998 and had a UK#1 with "Maria".

[@oneday1012]

One of the coolest female rock singers of all time! Check out BLONDIE's song "Rapture". The first rap song to hit #1.

[@IzzysCuisines]

BLONDE is the FIRST WHITE GIRL TO RAP. Listen to her song RAPTURE.....It was VERY popular in the Black & White community

[@FeedbackPete]

I've saw Blondie at least 6 times live. Clem Burke the drummer is a legend and one of the best drummers out there. Union City Blue is great as is Atomic and from the 90's Maria is a classic. Debbie has also had a long solo career. And one of her solo hits I Want That Man was written and produced by the Thompson Twins. A must listen solo tracks of Debbie's is "Brite Side" that song is beautiful.

[@yuncht3065]

For me and Blondie it's "Dreaming" and "Atomic". Hey Jovaughn...if you are still looking to react to female singers, here are some Canadian bands with female lead singers worth checking out: Cowboy Junkies "Anniversary Song", Headpins "Don't It Make Ya Feel", Crash Vegas "Sky", Jackalope "Pretty Life", Martha and the Muffins "Echo Beach", and Toronto "Break Down The Barricades". A little bit of trivia...Toronto did a song called "What About Love" that was later covered Heart.

[@franko6677]

Loved your reaction. Blondie is actually the name of the band, Debbie Harry is the singer. :) The band started in the NYC punk scene in the 70s but they had hits drawing from all kinds of styles - reggae/calypso (Tide is High), rap (Rapture), punky rock (One Way Or Another), electro rock (Call Me) and more. Clem Burke is one of the greatest drummers in rock. Check out their song “Dreaming” for a truly amazing drum beat.

[@bigmike2464]

This was originally designed to be a reggae/ska song, but then it got reworked for the disco dancefloor... both are Iconic actually... Blondie was truly capable of many different musical genres, liek many from the 70's NY/CBGB Era, with Bands like The Ramones and talkig heads and Underground Rappers, where she got the idea for Rapture

[@TempeLane11552]

Female artist suggestions: Amy Lee (Evanescence), Sharon den Adel (Within Temptation), Dolores O'Riordan (The Cranberries), Diana Ross and the Supremes, The Pointer Sisters.

[@ThelemicMagick]

Debbie Harry is everything Madonna and Lady Gaga *try* to be. The much requested 'Rapture' is a painfully cringy attempt at rapping, but worthwile listening to as a novelty and its chorus is used on KRS One - Step Into A World; a hip-hop classic. So yeah, feel free to react, but lower your expectations. ;) My picks to react to would be 'One Way Or Another', 'X Offender', 'Atomic', 'Call Me' and 'Denis'.

Really glad you found Blondie! Debbie Harry was a forerunner when it came to females fronting bands. Her look, her voice & her attitude laid the foundations for those females that followed.

Another female with a distinctive voice is Johnette Napolitano, lead vocalist/songwriter and bassist for Concrete Blonde, as well as some other groups during her career. My personal favorite is “Someday” from the 1992 ‘Walking in London’ album, but their “Joey” track from a different album is probably more widely known.
