Sometimes the group musicians are overshadowed by Debbie's personality, talent, and charisma, but they are a great bunch of musicmen! Thanks for the reaction!
As a teenage boy, with my hormones popping, she made a huge impression on me. I had a poster of her on my wall, and once went to a Blondie concert. The place was packed. Only just turned eighteen, I had spent all day in the pub with my mates and got dead drunk before we went into the club. All that booze, and being crushed in the crowd, took its toll and I passed out. I came too as I was being carried out over the heads of everyone. I looked over at Blondie on the stage, and she blew me a kiss. Well, it could have been to me, or anyone else in the crowd. But I swear to god, she looked straight at me. I will never forget that look in her eyes. That's pretty much the most rock and roll thing I have ever done.......lol! Fantastic memories.
Blondie deep dive will be a lot of fun for you. Blondie was MASSIVE in the late 70's-early 80's.... Call Me, Tide is High, One Way or Another, Rapture... SO MANY.
She's iiconic! New wave pop punk eat your heart out to the queen. It is comforting to know she was 29 when the band started. There's hope for us in our 30s 😂😂😂
Greatest female singer of all time . No arguments please . i grew up listening to her and the band . I'm 56 now and she still does it for me . i'd give anything to be in her company .
You are spot on , that is exactly what they did. They mixed punk with disco…. I’m so impressed by you. Blondie actually started out as a punk band.👍👍 keep it up 😁
There is a picture of her in the thumbnails at the end of the video. But I'd say she's a good-looking-70, but not "amazing". Never the less... if any of us age like that, we definitely can't complain. I've seen people looking older at 60.
@@liquidminds Take a look at her on The One Show Blondie singing Long Time. At the age of 73 she looks amazing for her age. She will be 76 on the 1st July 2021.
Debbie Harry of Blondie was an amazing singer...so much range and control. And so so many FUNKY chart topping hit songs and albums. I love and listen to blondie to this day. Never without it in my car.
Blondie is very highly regarded. Debbie Harry, the lead singer, was innovative and paved the way for a lot that came after her. I'd, for sure, recommend you check out some of their other stuff.
@@solomonkane6442 Blondie was never a "bubble gum pop" band but they did do covers of pop songs early on in their career but started as a punk rock band then experimented with different styles like disco, new wave, reggae and rap. At that time in music history it was rare for a woman to front a rock band when Blondie first started out performing on stage and Blondie was a rock and roll band that had a punk edge early on in their career.
@@kekwayblaze3176 blondie are sort of like pink floyd in a way They experimented with so many different types of music But they're not a true punk rock band like say the sex pistols the damned ( or is it bikini kill Katherine hamma i think she's called) Or even the runaways Bubblegum pop is the best description I've ever heard I heard it on a documentary
@@solomonkane6442 I wonder how anyone could describe Blondie as a bubble gum pop band when they didn't do that much pop songs compared to their entire music catalogue.
Little-known fact: the backing voice you hear at "in between" and "lost inside" is also Debbie, singing in a lower register. I didn't know that until I watched a video about the making of this song. She has quite a range!
i was 12 when i first saw this on top of the tops and i thought debbie harry was the most beautiful woman i had ever seen, im 55 now and debbie is 76....and shes still stunning
Yes - it's punk and disco. Exactly. Long-time Blondie lover here. I love the group, but I love Debbie Harry. She has an amazing voice - she's the real deal. A girl from New Jersey made good for herself.
The goddess herself. .Debbie harry .timeless ....iconic ..no kidding the most beautiful woman I ever saw. And soooo cool ...oh and the music was OK too .lol
I'm a couple of years older than Debbie Harry and I remember this well because my teenage son kept telling me that and how much better she looked than me. But then , she didn't have three teenagers to deal with. :) Fabulous singer, fabulous song. Maybe it was about her own heart but maybe not. Singers don't always sing about their own experiences.
"seemed like the real thing / but I was so blind / I'm the one you're using / please don't push me aside." yep. Your take on it is pretty much bang on the money. Not taking it all too serious though - it's such a great song.
I notice that the Americans get a different version to the rest of us....at the end, they get "Once I had a love and it was a gas, soon turned out had a heart of glass" whilst we get "Once I had a love and it was a gasm soon turned out to be a pain in the ass". lol
I’ve always just danced to the melody ‘cause its so upbeat and catchy.. up until you describing the lyrics and realizing that its a song, that comes from heartbreak 🥺 And immediately moments from my heartbreaks came flooding in 😩 In all seriousness that was an awesome reaction to Heart of glass ❤️
Debbie Harry the lead singer sang that the guy who broke her heart was the one who had a heart of glass. React to their songs Atomic, Hanging On The Telephone, One Way Or Another, Call Me and The Tide Is High if haven't already please.
5:05 Boom! Punk meats Disco. Nail, Head etc. You can hear Blondie and just enjoy their musical proficience. Or you can listen to them and realize how avant-garde they were. (Either way's good, by the way.) Their style may sound typical early 80's (new wave) now, but that's partly because they were such a huge influence in shaping that particular sound.
6:33 "I don't know who decided to break that glass heart, but you stupid, I'm sorry. Whoever did it, you're dumb". :'D Yeah, whoever that was, they'll have to live with the knowledge that millions upon millions of people will agree to that sentiment.
Interesting fact, Debbie Harry was adopted and never found out who her birth mother was...it was reported once that she thought she was Marilyn Monroe's daughter but in fact, she never said that. She worked at the PlayBoy Club as a PlayBoy bunny waitress for awhile! She was and still is beautiful...great band, please review more Blondie.

This song saved a whole generation. It was the only song that could unite the disco kids (mostly girls) and the punk/new wave rock kids (mostly boys). I think this was a song that was the start of many families.
Great reaction thanks! Blondie were at their height when I was about 10 or 11 - 49 now gulp! Debbie Harry is a queen and I've always been in love with her looks, voice and just her kickass attitude. She's still doing it in her 70s!!
Just love how the younger generation can recognise and appreciate - and respect - the 'pop' music of my youth some 35 years ago (or more)! BTW, it is not you who was shocked by her vocals; the whole band and the producer were also stunned. She had never sung it like that before (in the 'little girl's voice)!
Blondie was a band that experimented in so many music genres like disco, new wave, reggae and rap not to mention starting out as a punk rock band that they really didn't do that many pop songs of their own but did do covers of pop songs earlier on in their career.
Debbie Harry was high as a kite back in the day. So many videos where her face would twitch and very glassy eyes. I remember her on The Muppet Show...thought she would fall over. HOWEVER!!!!!! I am not hating on her! I love her! Back then lots of drugs went around. She was the first to do so many things that paved the way for female artists. She is a brilliant artist! Also an actress and a very intelligent woman. I love her music. She is a Goddess!!!!!
Didnt come more gorgeous than debbie harry back in the day,also a massive fashion icon !! Nobody looked like her or dressed like her ...still looking good now x
You described the sound correctly the band did mix all kinds of genres listen to rapture again punk and rap , and that was my reaction the first time i saw debbie harry i thought wow beautiful i fell in love with her as a teen lol , shes still going strong now
Yeah, she was like the ultimate poster girl for the scene. And that was obvious to me even at the age of 6! Like the way the band are basically sending up the whole disco vibe in the video.
I was a teenage boy when Debbie Harry dominated the UK charts.... no one has affected me that way since, (Suzie Quatro got close). Try "Sunday Girl" - cold as ice cream but still as sweet.
I really wanted to be Debbie Harry when I was young. She was so beautiful and had a greatvoice. My friend and I would put eye shadow and lip gloss which was a big thing in those days and sing in front of our mirrors with hairbrushes as mics 🎤 😂
Debbie Harris went solo and her last hit was ‘Maria’ in the late 90s/early 00s. She’s still beautiful. Kim Wilde is another UK artist who you may like. In the 80s she sung Kids in America and Touch Me.
Kids in America is an iconic song and should be reacted to. I had long forgotten about it until it was featured in the fantastic documentary Three Identical Strangers ruclips.net/video/i2wOYxm9Pho/видео.html
Pushing 75 Deborah Harry. Old enough to be my mother. Bet she can still hold her own. Tide is High and Rapture are worth a peak unless you done so. Glad you enjoyed the video. Rock on.
Their 1980 album 'AutoAmerican' took in jazz, beat poetry, funk, rap, reggae, disco and punk in equal measure. And it all sounds like them. Difficult trick to pull off without subsuming your identity.
Spun out of Disco and lasted about 4-5 years. The genre,New Wave or Punk, had an intentional dark edge of distain for society's ways and a futuristic look and strange wardrobes/props. The hard core morphed into the screaming mosh pit niche. See movies: A Clockwork Orange, Brazil, ......
They had hit after hit Jayy. This song takes me back to playing football with my mates and this song playing on my small tape player. Give 'Sunday Girl' a try.

That's sad you got too drunk to enjoy seeing Blondie live in concert. But at least you got to see Deborah Harry on stage.
I was 14. Same thing. You lucky git
I'm a bit greedy, she was sooo hot back then - I mean she still is...

Other essential Blondie tracks are Atomic, Call Me, Denis, Hanging on the Telephone, Maria, One Way or Another, Sunday Girl, The Tide is High
Rapture
Absolutely! All of these are wonderful ^-^
Yes. All of these.

I would agree with all except Tide Is High which is arguably one of Blondie's worst singles.

The disco mixed with punk rock was a good description. Never thought of that
Probably the most beautiful woman that ever lived was the lead vocalist in a punk sythn pop group in the 70s 80s,
And there we have it
disco\punk actually a great way to describe Blondie.
Blondie were a punk band. It's a good way to describe Heart of Glass.

Right off the bat: ''It seemed like they mixed punk with disco." Dead on. Few have ever been as cool and hot at the same time as Debbie.

It is mike Chapman’s voice also the na na na part , Mike is the producer of their album Parallel Lines
Blonde was and still is awesome
She is the coolest. Ever. Everything about is just bleeping cool. She even made disco cool for one song 😂. Loved her then, and still do.
This is the censored, single version. The album version includes the line, "Soon turned out to be a pain in the ass."
Gorgeous, cool, good actress, great singing voice, and she even rapped. Debbie Harry had it all.
This song came at the tail end of disco and the dawn of new wave music.
Blondie is always different. Check out The Tide is High.
Ramones " Debbie Harry is a diva, you know a punk legend"
Gwen Stefan " Debbie Harry was like glamorous, but she also rock "
I had the joy of seeing Blondie live at Lancaster University, UK, in 1977. A great performance.

Yes it was a mix of punk with disco.
New Wave/Punk that spun out of disco and had a counter culture distain for society.

I was 9 yrs old watching DH (and her band...) for the first time, instantly I turned 16! Total crush! Still one of my fav artists.
She was my first crush, along with Dianna Ross
Your facial expressions alone make your channel PERFECT LOLOL....Nice work!!
I 💗 Blondie... She was my go to listen growing up!! ✌💗🇬🇧
Cool reaction. You could react to "I'm always touched by your presence, dear. " Great tune too.
Blondie and Dabbie pave the wabe for other bands and other women ...thats for sure!
A great singer and beautiful also
If you like this video, by all means, look up "Rapture" - Blondie mixed in Rap before it was really accepted on MTV. They are an amazing group./
Blondie were a brilliant pop band, many, many hits, and very popular! And what a tight hot band! Try One Way or Another
Blondie was a band that experimented in so many music genres like disco, new wave, reggae and rap not to mention starting out as a punk rock band that they really didn't do that many pop songs of their own but did do covers of pop songs earlier on in their career.
They were a high band, Debbie Jarry was a massive icon. Try Hanging on the telephone,shows her at best.

That's how we rocked, and I'll bet that includes your parents' generation. It was all great fun.
Number 1 in the UK 🇬🇧
Spot on .
Fabulous, that hair would pass today. Union City Blues I like
Great reaction and review. Loved it.
When Blondie first came out they were part of a new music scene called New Wave or something like it
I here Blondie for the first time i Was 8 years old this was in the year 1978
She was a very beautiful woman, as a teenage boy in the 1970s between her and Farah Fawcett my tissue box was always empty
He he, I can imagine
Debbie still has it today and can’t wait to see them next year live with a new album out too !!!
Great Band
Pushing 75 Deborah Harry. Old enough to be my mother. Bet she can still hold her own.
Tide is High and Rapture are worth a peak unless you done so. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Rock on.
Debbie Harry best female vocals and Clem Burke one of the best drummers of the 70/80's era [and beyond].
Debbie Harry was voted "the most beautiful woman of 1979" according to a poll by some magazine or other. (It might have been 1980, I can't remember)
Their 1980 album 'AutoAmerican' took in jazz, beat poetry, funk, rap, reggae, disco and punk in equal measure. And it all sounds like them. Difficult trick to pull off without subsuming your identity.
You got it right: Disco/Punk Blondie were musical shape shifters any genre was fair game for them.
It was Debbie Harry and Kate Bush back then, loved all their songs. Disco punk encapsulates it 👍🏼
Another must listen Blondie track is Atomic or Union City Blue. Sunday Girl was number 1 on the day my wife was born by the way😁😁
She started out as a playboy bunny and then went to singing. Glad she did🖖🏻🇨🇦
Debbie wrote a very nice biography about her life. Debbie sees herself as a Punk and I also do after hearing the book of her life.
The album Parallel lines was a brilliant album
Your face! Priceless.
They got that awesome twanging sound by plucking the cable between the bass guitar and amplifier. :-D
Spun out of Disco and lasted about 4-5 years. The genre,New Wave or Punk, had an intentional dark edge of distain for society's ways and a futuristic look and strange wardrobes/props. The hard core morphed into the screaming mosh pit niche.
See movies: A Clockwork Orange, Brazil, ......
They had hit after hit Jayy. This song takes me back to playing football with my mates and this song playing on my small tape player. Give 'Sunday Girl' a try.
Yeah I'm from this era, there's actually lots of really good hidden music from this time, "don't be shy now ya hear" 😉
Debbie Harry has the most perfect face stunning.
Her smile is rated R in 13 states.
Yeah, you got it. Punk mixed with disco mixed with the strong voice of a woman, much like the seventies which featured many solo female pop artists.
The most beautiful woman of ALL time.
