First Time Hearing Blondie - Heart of Glass Reaction Video - LOOKS LIKE SAM HAS A NEW JAM! 

Yes, Debbie's blonde hair was bleached. They are a very unique band because they weren't afraid to experiment with different sounds, such as punk, new wave, disco, reggae, rap and pop.

Blondie is hard to put in a box....so glad you reacted to them. Other songs: Tide is High (reggae-ish), Rapture (rap-ish), Call Me (rock-ish), Atomic (new-wave-ish), The Hardest Part (rock-ish), detroit 442 (punk!), and many more. Prob my favorite band of all time.

Blondie is an American rock & new wave band co-founded by singer Debbie Harry & guitarist Chris Stein. They had a lot of great hits in the 70's-90's such as "Call Me", "Atomic", "The Tide Is High", “Rapture”, "Picture This", "Hanging On The Telephone", "I'm Gonna Love You Too", "One Way Or Another", "Sunday Girl", "Island Of Lost Souls", "War Child", "Maria" etc.

Deb Harry.. A freaking knockout-Gorgeous woman.. Unique voice, and a sweet person-great reaction!

Disco Blondie- Heart of Glass Hip hop Blondie- Rapture Reggae Blondie- The Tide is High Punk Blondie- Rip Her to Shreds Emo Blondie- Dreaming Country Blondie- Ring of Fire Lounge Act Blondie- In the Flesh Pop Blondie- Call Me Eurotrash Blondie- Denis Comeback Blondie- Maria

Her biggest hit of all time was Call Me. That's actually a fantastic song that I still hear while shopping in Walmart or strolling through the malls. She's really endured the test of time.

Hard to believe Debbie Harry is now 78 . . This was a mainstay on our radio stations here in New Zealand at the time . . . The album Parallel lines has many great songs . . . Check.them out . .

Debby Harry was among the first ever to "rap" in a song. Check out "Rapture" to see one of the earliest ever raps in a music video. Do the live version so you can see the performance.

my favourite by Blondie is "one way or another" (the studio version since the live versions are not very well recorded as far as i remember).. a very creepy stalker song. Also, I would like to recommend Raye with escapism or black mascara or ice cream man (very heavy lyrics). Raye is an amazing british female singer. Really gifted and now, that she finally is free from her shitty old record label, she is able to do the music she wants to do. Check! her! out! :) You will not regret it.

I saw Blondie three years ago .She was still very intertaining. A song called Dreaming by Blondie has a awesome examples of drums going on . Im sure there are some songs from other artist where the drums are just as awesome, but the drums in this song are kicking.

Blonde were such pioneers in so many ways, definitely worth reacting to are "atomic " "rapture" "call me " and "hanging on the telephone " Atomic is probably my personal favourite but Rapture in particular was hugely groundbreaking and influential, I won't explain why here but you'll understand when you listen to it

Blondie is the person that invented she was she was the first RAPPER

I loved this song and Blondie herself .....WOW.

Blondie / Debbie Harry (77, now 78) recently played Glastonbury Festival, UK ... Still looking amazing ... great track, thanks for the upload guys

Love it!!!! In 1978 I was 11 and at the time, everyone loved disco (so it seemed), at least everyone my age. As I got older there were a lot of people who hated the disco era. I love many genre's of music, from thrash metal, to country and even classical. So to hell what anyone thinks. If it sounds good to you. Then crank it up.

Originally the song was called Once I Had a Love. They made their only disco song and arguably their biggest hit and called it to the fans the Disco song. They almost recorded and released the first Rap song, also as mentioned played all sorts of different style songs. Great reaction, now react to Queens song My Melancholy Blues. Thank you. Peace!

Thank you.Really.Thank you.

Love Blondie. If you have a dream keep following it. Debbie Harry was in her 30’s when they finally made it. Saw them 10 years ago she was amazing.

Man so many young folk confuse disco with what was roller skating music. Disco was dancing, roller skating was what was played at roller rinks. Then roller rinks did put floors in the middle for disco dancing. It was fun af. Go smoke a joint and drink a wine cooler at 14 , great times.

744 By the way, that was the Twin Towers they showed twice in this video; it was a more innocent time back then.

Actually just about EVERY song is Pop, it just means popular.

Dreaming is Blondie's best song They were very influential and mixed together a lot of styles

Their biggest hit was the smash CALL ME - which was the lead single of the Richard Gere film GIGOLO.

Debbie Harry was a goddess 😍

I fell in love with Blondie in 5th grade (1979). She was indeed my first love. I was 10, she was 33, it coulda worked out if we ever met. LOL

For another style from Blondie, and decades later. Maria,

Hanging on the telephone is another blondie hit

I am pretty sure you would like "Call Me" from Blondie. In fact, I am sure you would!

Debra Harry posed in Playboy before her music career . Call Me was popular song played i a Richard Gere movie .

"Call Me" by Blondie was in the soundtrack of the film "American Gigolo" with Richard Gere.

The Knack " My Sharona "

When i here the Song for the first time than i wS 9 years old this was in 1979

People have always made fun of the disco era but disco clubs were sure fun & exciting, the atmosphere was electric. In my opinion Donna Summers was the queen of disco.

Another massive dance club hit by them was Call Me. Rapture is really fun too though, it's basically soft rap and is often referenced as one of the earliest uses of rap in a commercially successful song. It dominated in the early days of MTV.

Blondie is a classic Heart of Glass is my favorite tune of hers. A of other female artists I wish you would visit are Joan Baez either the Night They Drove Old Dixie Down a cover of a song by the Band a 60-70s folk road group or her song Diamonds and Rust, her own composition about her love affair with Bob Dylan. Bob Dylan is a brilliant poet who has written hundreds of songs in almost every type country, rock, folk, rap. Many don't like his voice but his poetry is outstanding. Glace Slick the frontwoman for Jefferson Airplane has a unique voice and White Rabbit is perhaps their most popular tune. If you have ever read Alice in Wonderland you'll recognize the lyrics. The song is considered Psychedelic rock. Another female you might enjoy from the 60s is Melanie Safka, a folk singer with a unique voice as well Candles in the Rain (Lay Down) a song about her performance at Woodstock is probably her best known work, but others include Brand New Key, and Look What They've Done mo My Song

I graduated High School in 1982. This song was played at my School Dances and Parties, Sam was right about this being played at the Skating Rinks.

As a rocker, all I knew about Blondie is that Debbie Harry was movie star hot. and that they had some hits on the radio.

My favorite disco band is KC and the sunshine band. 9:14

This was a massive top 10 hit everywhere it was released... except Finland. Not sure what the Finnish were thinking. 😀

I heard all their songs well that were on the radio back then. I see Debby Harry as a good singer who knows how to captivate the audience. I believe she still is performing Actually was a cocktail waitress at the Playboy Club NYC b4 singing. A few good songs. Dreaming is probably my favorite. Kudos to the band members, great job

Check out "Call Me" used in the movie American Gigolo with Richard Gere.

Debbie Harry - one of the greatest female rock & pop voices ever! Clem Burke was a brilliant drummer, the whole band were superb. What's not to like?

Debbie Harry also co-wrote most all of the groups songs with guitarist Chris Stein so she was more than just the lead singer of the group.

Since this was my heyday, we considered it a bit punk/disco - which made it cooler than disco. Roller skating with the peanut butter skates was the best!

Wow….roller skating is 100% what I was doing to this…..you really got the vibe so spot on! Of course, everyone was also dancing to this at the local discos. A disco was a ‘place’….(now called night club or bar in some places), with a certain kind of young crowd who wanted to dance to to catchy, cool, new music that also had a beat and vibe that was easy to love and dance to. I really don’t think we were so focused on naming the ‘genre’ of new songs…..we either loved them or not….that was all. I was not bothered whether I was listening to ‘rock, disco or punk’, if the song was good….It never occurred to me to to try to ‘classify’ them….though I will say I understood, there was ‘popular music…ie, rock, punk, disco etc, and then there were things I could not dance to or didn’t like to….country, opera, classical, thought I still like them but didn’t want to hear them when out at a party or a disco.

Listen to the Tide Is High.... Totally different feel. It's Reggae and brilliant

❤❤❤❤BLONDIE❤❤❤❤❤

Blondie is one of those bands that I thought was British when I was a kid (like The Killers) they were both influenced by punk rock from the UK I suppose. There are also so many British bands that were massively influenced by American bands of course 🇬🇧 🇺🇸

She’s one of a kind

Death before Disco was a popular mantra - that it wasn’t humans playing instruments - it was synth and Rockers wanted Guitar Gods 🎸🎸🎸

Love this song !!! A suggestion try Olivia Newton-John , Sam from the 1982 concert it will blow you away

Disco always got a bad rap, but it was such fun to go to the Discotheque and dance until you dropped. KC snd the Sunshine Band had many disco hits. I think you will like them.

Please give Blondie a shot again....Dreaming is a great song

Speaking of disco... My aunt tried to teach me to dance, when I was a little kid, to Amy Stewart's "Knock On Wood". I think Sam would like that one too. (I still can't dance, btw...) 😂

It is funny you talked about cleaning listening to Blondie. In the late 70s I would clean my room and then get dressed to go out while listening to Blondie. The music just gave you the feeling that you had to get up and do something. I always credit Blondie for getting us out of disco. Obviously I'm in that group of people that hated disco not that the music was that bad but the culture was so different.

The video was also filmed in the most famous disco club in history….Studio 54.

such a fun catchy song! ♥

Blondie was formed in 1974 by Debborah 'Debbie' Harry (lead vocals) and her then-boyfriend Chris Stein (guitar) w/ Clem Burke (drums) in NYC... Debbie Harry worked as a waitress and Playboy bunny, and she had the attitude and voice that fit in the New York scene, which included The Ramones... Blondie was popular as a live act at CBGB's bar and Max's Kansas City (where Aerosmith used to play) and were signed in 1976... Their debut album was not a hit at the time, so Blondie switched labels in 1977 to Chrysalis Records. Strangely, their first hit was in Australia where 'In the flesh' charted at #2 as a single. Blondie released 2nd album 'Plastic letters' in 1978 and it became a hit in the UK w/ a hit single 'Denis'... Their 3rd album 'Parallel lines' in 1978 became a huge success w/ the disco crossover hit 'Heart of glass'... and the album sold 20 million copies worldwide w/ more hits like - 'Sunday girl'... 'Hanging on the telephone' ... 'One way or another'... Blondie wanted to be a band that could transcend genres and not be limited to 1 category of rock or pop music. 4th album 'Eat to the beat' (1979) went #1 in the UK w/ singles 'Dreaming'... 'Atomic' ... 'Call me'... 5th album 'Autoamerican' charted #7 in the US, #3 in the UK in 1980... the single 'Rapture' went to #1 and was the first major hit single w/ a rap section... 'The tide is high' was a reggae-influenced single. However, Blondie was plagued w/ infighting by 1981 and the 6th album 'The Hunter' (1982) was a commercial failure as the 80's decade began eroding their success as a 70's band... Blondie split soon after. In the 90's, Debbie Harry was willing to work w/ former Blondie members, and the band reformed for live shows in 1997 (w/ Harry, Chris Stein & Clem Burke) due to demand by fans... In 1999, Blondie released a comeback album 'No exit'... and scored a hit single 'Maria' going #1 in the UK - 20 years after their last hit. Blondie has continued to record and tour since.

Fun fact Debbie harry was a Playboy Bunny in 1969 in the Playboy club in NYC 💯

She is the best and still has it to this day, Also a side note she is a former Playboy Bunny and sang in anther group before Blondie. In one Atomic video she wears a black plastic trash bag and makes it look good. This one along with Call Me, Atomic, Maria and End To End are my favorite ones.

Blondie has the first ever rap video that aired on MTV with her song"rapture". You guys need to check it out.

Great drumming by Clem. Debbie’s fine too.

Highly recommend Rapture, which I believe is the first "rap" song played on MTV. My favorite of hers is Call Me.

Blondie is still playing shows.Debbie was i think 33 or 34 then and arguably the prettiest woman in the world!

This song by Blondie, like Rod Stewart's Do You Think I'm Sexy, was another band that jumped on the Disco bandwagon. Blondie started as a punk rock band and later became a rock band. They were *never* Disco aside from this song. Another example; KISS is a hard rock band yet they made a rock/disco song I Was Made for Loving You.

Hi B&B, I love & loved Disco; it has couples dancing together.. ♠W.G.

Disco is perfect for roller skating either way..good job guys

You should do the Blondie song call me do the audio version because the music video cuts off the last third of the song its the best song in my opion

This song actually had a few iterations before this version became a huge hit on radio. It became more “discofied” in production because that was what radio was playing in 78. Also- Blondie’s name came from not only Debbie’s blonde hair( and the catcalls that followed her bleaching it ) but, also a flippant reference to Adolf Hitler’s dog.

Roller rink 70s early 80s stuff. We go outside smoke some old mellow weed. Smoking allowed inside. Still alive.

NYC in the mid 70s ... Blondie, Television, and Talking Heads and Ramones at CBGBs... what a time.

i crushed on her when i was a youngster

It prolly sounds overly sentimental to some but when i first heard this & witnessed debbie perform it i imagined she was an incarnate angel whod brought her message to us, coarse humans. My first love ❤❤❤

Blondie was part of the Disco / Coke Fad . Nobody I hung out with liked Disco .

I don't understand why the first album never gets any love in these reaction videos, nor even in the comments. X Offender, In the Sun, A Shark in Jets Clothing, Rip Her to Shreds---all great songs, all from Blondie's earliest days

Blondie has some real good stuff. Even check out a more later song by them "Maria". Others have suggested more good songs by them. You guys may want to check out Transvision Vamp. A band that's a bit more electronic influenced but have a similar aesthetic, blond lead singer with guys as the band. "Revolution Baby".

first album (vinyl) I ever bought was Parallel lines - I also have a few 7" and some 12" singles, including this track

I was into ice skating back in the 70's!!!!!!

A must react to is : Hendrix live at the Filmore " Machine Gun " 🤙🤙🤙🤙

Man im talking 70s, glad someone remember roller rinks!

Check out the Pretenders - "Back On The Chain Gang". They are another female lead band from around the same time period.

As someone has stated I can’t believe Debbie Harry is 78 now!

Ah yes, roller skating. I'n 62 now but in those days i was in my late teens/early 20s and i was king of the rink skating to Blondie in my white super short sleeve half open collared shirt and tight silver parachute pants. It was a blast and with great music to roll with! Miss those days!

Blondie was a official Playboy Bunny before she started her career in music

Such a classic

You might consider reacting to "Denis" which was a big hit in the UK. She was relatively unknown before that. We could call it pop-punk.

Check out dreaming. One of my favorites from blondie

I came out at the end of disco and the beginning of new wave. They collided at the clubs and we danced our asses off ever night. Soooooo fun. The music was phenomenal.

I grew up in skating rinks in the 70s and early 80s. Mom worked in a factory next door and it was me and my sisters babysitter for 8 hours each weekend.

When they came on the scene doing punk and new wave, they played a lot at the famous (infamous) club CBGB's with others like The Talking Heads and Ramones. You're right, this is the song that crossed them over to disco. Even though I could never get into disco (death before disco), but since I grew up in a skating rink and since the owners were family friends I worked there part-time until my mid-40's. I'm sure others have mentioned that the band's name was Blondie, supposedly after Hitler's dog that he poisoned, and not from the lead singer Debbie Harry. She was so beautiful in an adorable way.

This was a helluva dance side, way back when.

Blondie is a huge rabbit hole. They are essentially a punk-new wave/rock/pop band, but they can never be put in a box. They liked to dabble and could pull off any sound. Btw, that is not Debbie's usual singing style. Check out the official video for Detroit 442 for a more authentic Blondie. Anytime you listen to this band, keep in the back of your mind that the drummer is a secret weapon.

Regarding "disco", two of the best Disco songs to check out are MacArthur Park by the Queen of Disco, Donna Summer, and the song I Will Survive.

I loved that you both chuckled when she switched it up and said "soon turned out to be a pain in the ass" 😊😅😂

Her biggest song.

The whole of male Britain came to a standstill and drooled for about two minutes during top of the pops when Debbie performed Denis in a shirt Wow!

Blondie aka Debbie Harry has been singing for a long time, yes she does dye her hair. She has a huge catalog of music. I have been a fan of hers since the 70's she still sings releasing her last album in 2017 Polinator.

Love ya.

Blondie did cross genres and Heart of Glass was 100% a disco song. But listen to One Way or Another or Hangin' on the Telephone from the same record. Much more of their punk sound.

Great song, this older geezer bought the 45 rpm when it came out.
