Blondie-Call Me

The way it should be done ... The one and only Blondie. Debbie Harry, lead singer of Blondie who is often referred to by that name.

"Call Me" is a song by the American new wave band Blondie. Released in 1980, "Call Me" topped the singles charts in both the US, where it became the band's biggest selling single and second #1 and the UK where it became their fourth no.1 hit.

Don't try this at home kiddies, it takes a very rare young voice to do it right.

Then there was this, when rap was young and cool, and you could actually understand the lyrics, Blondie did it again ... "Rapture" is a single by the American new wave band Blondie. It was released in January 1981 and became one of the first substantial hit singles to involve rap music, and the first rap-influenced single to reach number one on the US Billboard Chart. It was the second and final song to be released from the band's 1980 album Autoamerican, the first being "The Tide Is High", which had topped the chart in the US and UK. "Rapture" went on to reach number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, number one on the U.S. Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart number 4 in Australia, and number five in the UK singles chart. The B-side was "Walk Like Me", also from Autoamerican.

As Blondie got older, her unique, enchantingly delicious, soprano voice is mostly gone ...
