*first time* 🎵 Blondie Heart of Glass REACTION

Late 70's semi-Disco/New Wave, with an edge, and thoughtful lyrics. And Debra Harry sounds as good as she looks.

Blondie had FOUR #1 hits, all different styles. This was their DISCO #1 hit. They also hit #1 with REGGAE (The Tide Is High), ROCK (Call Me) and POP/RAP (Rapture). Rapture was the first song with rap to ever hit #1, and this was back in 1981!!!

She was such mesmerizing creature.

70s actually. Yeah, us old heads are VERY spoiled musically. This was the world we lived in. Musicians that actually played instruments. Singers that could...sing. Lyrics that had messages. Genres would be blended together. It was an awesome time to be alive for music lovers. Great reaction!

Between Debbie Harry's voice/presence and Clem Burke's brilliance on the drum kit, Blondie was unique (even among the fringes of the punk, new wave, and club music scenes of the 70s).

This is just Debby Harry’s voice. Blondie had a lot of hits.

Blondie is an Icon and I'm a Hard Rock/Heavy Metal Fan!

20years later she had a hit again. Maria, you got the see her. This lady can sing for sure.

It's incredible how neither of you have heard this iconic song before now.

Brad & Lex, you'll love their "One Way Or Another", "Call Me", "Rapture" and many more!!! "Rapture" included a rap section, one of the earliest raps. They were some of the best of 'new wave' music!!

This version has the modified chorus at the end changing “pain in the ass” to “heart of glass.”

American music responded to British punk with a new wave sound. Blondie could rock. This was their offer to the disco scene. My husband would always laugh at people who thought Debbie Harry was lead because she was beautiful. Can't they hear??? She can stone cold blast it and look like a model at the same time. Oh! They got the band name because in the early days people would shout out..hey!!! blondie!!! They decided to embrace it. Thank you for sharing! 😽💋🎶

The whole story of how Blondie came to make Parallel Lines is worth a deep dive. They were New Wave but Heart of Glass is deliberately Disco.

Blondie is my favorite Band. this was considered their "disco" song but they started off as a punk band. every female artist today was influenced by singer Debbie Harry in some way. she was also the first woman to have a #1 rap song on the charts "rapture" they have a lot of cool songs "Call Me" "One Way Or Another" are a couple. they are still recording and touring. Debbie is 76 years young. Blondie drummer, Clem Burke is incredible. Miley was surely influenced by Debbie (Blondie) Miley also covered this song

This was actually called "the disco song" when written back in 74. They did a couple of demo's before recording it as a bit more pop on their 1978 parallel lines album. This was a very different sound compared to anything else they had done up to that time. Previous albums were more hard edged

this is like the birth of new wave music, a little of funk, a litle bit of disco, a litle bit of pop, abit of rock. Came out in '78

This band came up with the Ramones and The Talking Heads at CBGBs. These 3 were in the dirtiest club in downtown NYC and they were incredible. Glad you finally got to this song. Check out 'Ani DiFranco's' "32 Flavors" as it would be added to the Tori Amos, Alanis list.🔥

This was still connected to disco and a big club hit. It's labeled an 80's song but this still screams late '70s disco. Fun song! Loved it then, love it now!

Blondie was part of the New Wave in the late 70's. The bands contemporaries included a montage of new sounds regaling against the rock establishment including the Ramones, The Talking Heads, Richard Hell and Television along with a host of other exciting bands.

the ultimate Roller disco song. Roller rinks played this several times nightly back in the Day and everybody flocked to rink to skate to it.
