From The Midnight Special - 1/19/79 - Blondie: Deborah Harry - Vocals & looking ridiculously hot; Clem Burke - Drums; Chris Stein - Guitar; Frank Infante - Guitar; Jimmy Destri - Keyboards; Nigel Harrison - Bass.
One hell of an album opener. Blondie’s 1978 classic ‘Parallel Lines’ blams into life with ‘Hanging On The Telephone’, a pummeling war horse of a track written in 1973 by Jack Lee but first surfacing on his band The Nerves’ debut EP in 1976. Blondie’s version is strung-out, pleading and strident, and it’s impossible to ignore Debbie Harry’ siren call.
At the time, when rock was still alive, Blondie was called New Wave. Years later, renamed Alternative. Now, where I live in Connecticut, Blondie is too old for Alternative radio station(that has 90's weekends), it's played on Classic Rock station. Blondie song,"Rapture" called first song, with Rap lyrics, to hit American charts, as a number one single.
Dancers are embarrassing to look at, haven't aged well -- but this band looks fresh, new ... all these years later. Of course, Debbie Harry with that voice, is perfect
Les transpoèmes entendent plaider pour la plasticité du poétique. Ni poésie sonore ni poésie écrite ni même poésie mixte mais une poésie dont le se modifie en fonction des collaborations
Believe it or not, Deborah Harry Blondie was a minor in elementary school and age appropriate to grade when this was filmed more than 50 years ago. This song was based on an advertising jingle attributed to Harry and perhaps Bob Dylan. There are tons of fakes out there that are still robbing young performers blind. Harry and Dylan were strong writing duo.
not. when the song was recorded debbie was 31 years old when blondie recorded it in 1976. . Jack Lee wrote the song for a group called The Nerves, and he let blondie cover it when he was in financial trouble. it saved him from poverty.
@@mrdasbruce Yeah, I didn't even understand what he wrote, since it is pretty well known that Debbie was kind of old-ish, they always wrote about that, how she was older than the others in the group, despite she seemed young. She's about 5 years older than Stein, and 9 years older than Burke!
