Blondie

I wasn’t criticising unfairly, merely making a point that time is cruel to everyone.

Her set at Glastonbury a couple of years ago wasn't great. Some artists just need to know when to retire with dignity.

 

[SHEEPSKINBOOTS]

Respectfully , not sure I would like to come to a party at yours.

 

[Baloo]

Are we no longer allowed to make Crob puns?

Union City Blues is one of my fav intros across all genres.

I imagine she was filth in the boudoir.

 

[Sam Handwich]

She was gorgeous in this...

Still got the 7 inch single somewhere, bought as a smitten 12 year old

Probably at the height of her good looks there. And that spanned a good few years

Parallel Lines is a masterpiece

 

[Sam Handwich]

The opening scene of American Gigolo with Call Me playing over shots of Richard Gere driving in his Mercedes basically invented the 1980s

Plus Rush Rush in Scarface
Even though it was a solo track

Debbie Harry was the first woman I remember having feelings for.

I swear I remember seeing an album cover of her in black leather pants in 1981- I would have been 5- and I felt a strange sensation I’d never felt before!

 

[Mak70]

One of the finest bands ever. Transcended pop, punk and new wave. And fronted by one of the greatest of all time.

 

[Amokachi]

Saw them live 2 years ago (Clem Burke's final gig) they were terrific.

I imagine she was filth in the boudoir.

Yep.

Seen them twice there - didn't sound great either time. But there's often older bands play there and don't sound like they used to. It's kind of expected, but they still pull a good crowd if they are an iconic band. I'm pleased they played.

I can't hear an old fashioned telephone ring without bursting out

I'm in the phone booth, it's the one across the hall
If you don't answer, I'll just ring it off the wall
I know he's there, but I just had to call

Cover version that song.

 

[Longy]

sorry i’m late i was getting changed in a telephone kiosk

i’ve had that on my Friday it’s Debbie photo on Facebook

Only 3hrs to go until Friday

Sure Rapture was the first single in the American chart to have rapping with fast Freddy

First #1 with rapping in it, but it was released a year after Rapper's Delight, which was also in the US Top 40.

Louise Wenner was, still is, lovely. Not sure on the cover being superior.

She's lovely looking, but I always thought she was a bit of a dick. 1979 Debbie Harry is the height of female cool.

Debbie Harry is my third favourite female singer behind Tina and Cher.

Tina Arena, right?
