      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.

    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

    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.

    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.

      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.*

    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).

    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.

    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.

I loved New Wave/Punk back then, and sill do.... Check out 'Picture This' and 'One Way or Another' - both favorites of mine. x

      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.

    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.

      Rapture is not the 1st Rap song. It was the 1st featuring Rap to hit #1 (1981, Billboard Hot 100) & was the 1st Rap video ever on MTV. Bill Curtis & his Fatback Band’s 1979 “King Tim III (Personality Jock)” is generally considered the 1st Rap recording & The Sugar Hill Gang’s 1979 “Rappers Delight” is arguably the 1st Rap song to get radio airplay & to be a Top 40 hit (#36, Billboard Hot 100).
