Blondie is punk - new wave- disco- reggae - pop - rock … they do it all ..
And rap.....’’rapture’’
@@funkyledouxrebelle969 Yep. That was actually a fun video.
@@woodymeadows9363 yup and she had an OG hip hop legend grandmaster flash. She arguably introduced rap to the white population and still gave credit to the grandmaster👌🏽mad respect for Debby
@@woodymeadows9363 I liked Rapture! Someone who knew I did had to convince me that it was Rap, knowing that I actually don't like Rap (or disco), and Rapture is kinda a melding of Rap and Disco, IMO. For me, the Sci-Fi/Psychedelic tilt was the initial capture.
It's pop
This is Blondie covering a 1967 song by the Jamaican band "The Paragons." The style is reggae.
When she sings "I'm going to be your number one," it could be that she's referring to the first mate, a role on the ship which is second in command. So it's like a marriage proposal: "I'll be your wife."
And according to the video, the ship is the Executor. heh
Technically it's rocksteady
Yes yes yes that’s what I was trying to remember
the
paragons
thank you yes
@@JulioLeonFandinho The version by the Paragons is rocksteady and the cover by Blondie is reggae ... from what I understand. There is a video of the version by the Paragons.
But I don't really know the distinctions.
@@SG-js2qn This cover by Blondie sounds quite identical to the original, there's some brass arrangement and little details non existent in The Paragons version, but it's basically the same song with a woman voice...
About rocksteady and reggae, from what I know reggae derived from rocksteady, they're basically the same with some differences like in the lyrics and how recordings are produced
A band that crossed all genre and description. Blondie was Boss.
They had 4 #1 hits, all different styles. This was their reggae #1 hit. Amazing song! I was in the 3rd grade when it hit #1, as well as "Rapture" just before this one.
Most call it reggae…but this song in particular has more of the hallmarks of straight up ska.
But just the term reggae is more well known than ska.
Fun fact…Bob Marleys first recording was a ska song, Simmer Down. Recorded with godfathers of ska, the Skatalites.
Rapture was the first number one rap hit in America.
Sounds like ska because it is IS ska... originally done by Jamaica's John Holt and the Paragons in 1967, a key song in the development of ska/reggae/rocksteady.
Six number one's in England
@@user-gt2uf8cq9y Everyone has always called it reggae, including wiki. I don't know anything about ska, but it must be pretty much the same thing as reggae.
Blondie doesn't fit into one category. They are flexible, fun, and have a unique sound.
Love them so much.
You gotta listen to Maria.
They such an interesting band I never really can tell whether they British or American.
Strange video. Heard the song on radio as a kid but never the video. For some weird reason it has Darth Vader type character but also looks like clips from 1960's rocket launch and even special effects like from 60's. Have no idea what it has to do with the song so it funny in a way. I not know what year but I assume well before MTV video era. Maybe 1979 to 81?
@@shaundgb7367 Blondie started in the 1970s, in NYC. This song was on the album Autoamerican which was 1980. However, The Tide is High, is a cover song. Originally recorded by The Paragons.
Blondie is so unique that they have lasted 50 years in an industry known to chew people up and spit them out.
Debbie Harry also had some solo work, which was not too bad. Rush Rush makes me laugh, because it really speaks to the early 80s over indulgence of drugs and partying.
@@TattooedTownie Sensational follow up that love learning about. Thanks heaps!!!
@@shaundgb7367 if you're interested in the music scene that birthed Blondie, check out the book
"Please Kill Me - the oral, uncensored history of punk" by Leggs McNeil and Gillian McCain
It's an amazing read about the NYC punk scene of the 70s. How it started in the 60s with bands like The Velvet Underground, The Doors and the MC5, and grew into something much bigger. The pictures included are a fantastic touch, and they do talk about the connections of punk scenes in LA, London, and Ohio.
Brad & Lex, you’ll love their “Hanging On The Telephone”!!!
That’s a great shout!
Yes, one of my favorite Blondie songs!! Also, The Hardest Part!!
This was a huge hit for Blondie. I believe this ended 1980 as the number one song of the year.
Blonde was clearly hanging out in Brooklyn probably down on Flatbush when they got the idea for this song LOL
Blondie started out as a punk band but continually changed artistically.
2:08 "I'm getting Gwen Stefani/No Doubt 20 years prior..." Exactly. There is a straight line of fashion trend setting front women: with no Deborah Harry there'd be no Madonna. No Madonna and then no Gwen Stefani. 5:17 "They don't make women like Blondie any more." Yeah, no kidding! But here's the thing, besides being heavenly gorgeous, Debbie had real pipes. There are live recordings of her doing various covers (David Bowie's "Heroes" comes to mind) where you really hear how much power and perfect pitch she had.
Blondie and No Doubt we're about 10 to 15 years difference, but close enuff. I agree with everything you said tho.
Honestly I always thought Gwen Stefani was trying to be Lene Lovitch, but I see your point.
Before any of them there was Cher, Bette Midler & Patti LaBelle.
all the different styles just prove that the band really had talent and was not just another product of the production line
I didn't know until recently that it was a cover. Originally a 1967 rocksteady song from the Paragons.
I remember this song from 7th grade... I can't tell you the last time I heard this song... Keep going guys your doing great! Your baby will come out of the womb a musical master!!!
This was a cover, originaly wrote and performed by Jamaican reggae band The Paragons. One of their other big hits, Denis, was a cover too, of Denise, by Randy and the Rainbows.
Original by The Paragons, a reggae classic
I was waiting for someone to say that.
It's not reggae. It's more Doo Wop. I looked into it and they called it "greasy". There is Island music but the singing is Doo Wop influenced.
This article from The Paragons - OLDIES do t com mentions the Doo Wop influence. This is especially the case in this song, for sure. Never heard of "greasy" before.
With their high false falsetto and exotic warbling, the Paragons represented a rock 'n' roll doo-wop sound - sometimes called 'greasy' - that was extremely ...
The band is "Blondie". The blonde woman is Debby Harry.
I'd like to float my theory here that Debbie Harry is one of the most underrated singers of the whole Post-Punk/New Wave Era. Such a lovely, rich, creamy voice, always impeccably in tune, great timing and phrasing. People tend to focus more on her spectacular beauty, and the band's pop smarts, than her sheer excellence.
Her acting in the wraparound story of “Tales from the Darkside: The Movie” was pretty good too!
This is a cover of a 60s song by The Paragons, Blondie were billed as New Wave but had varied music styles doing disco to Rap songs, check out “Heart of Glass” (disco)
No Doubt/Gwen Stefani ('90s/'00s ska-punk/new wave band) was influenced by Blondie one of the groups that influenced No Doubt. Also, Blondie and No Doubt were about 10-15 years apart. Blondie was in the '70s/'80s and reunited in the '90s. They were punk/new wave. Thats the island sound you hear, ska/reggae. Also Blondie was very fluid in their style, genre.
I always got mariachi vibes from this song lol. Blondie is very versatile. More please:)♥️
You guys should react to more Blondie…
"Heart of Glass", "Atomic", "Dreaming", "Hanging On the Telephone", "In The Flesh", "Picture This", "Sunday Girl", "Denis"
🎸🤘
They already did 'Heart of Glass' (and also 'One Way Or Another', 'Rapture' and 'Call Me').
Atomic, Sunday Girl and Dreaming are awesome!
This is actually a cover. The original was by The Paragons in 1967
This is one of Blonde’s most popular hits! It’s been in so many movies!! Very recognizable! One of my favorite tunes by them! Musicians back then were more versatile than now!❤❤
That's an understatement 😁
It was originally recorded by a Jamaican group called The Paragons in 1967
Debbie Harry and Blondie were to the 70s what someone like Katy Perry would be today. The only difference is Debbie and the band got their start at CBGB and they were living and playing in NYC when nobody wanted to be in NYC.
This is a Reggae song from the 60s. The Band "Blondie," is known more for a Disco/ Punk Rock style, so this was a very different sound for them.
Originally from 1967 from a band called Paragons, a reggae group
Blonde was so diverse in style. One of my fav bands from my childhood & teenager years!!! Great to hear again. Brings back soo many memories. Thank you!!!
Those were some Full Blown MARIACHI trumpets right there! :-D
Was a number one hit back in the days, the radio stations played it many times hourly. Classic!
"Debbie Harry kinda looks like an alien"... She modelled for legendary artist HR Giger, check it out Brad!
I think she just came in at the perfect time. One type of music was leaving (disco), and another type of music was coming in. (new wave) I liked it back then and now.
No. 1 in the UK and US [among other countries].
My favourite group in the 70/80's during my teenage/young adult times.
The original song in the 60s was "rocksteady", a sort of precursor to reggae. Circa 1980, reggae was very popular worldwide, and this version shot to #1 in both the USA and UK - a pretty rare event, actually
Blondie also has a song called "Maria" that I think you guys would like. Also, Debbie Harry was a Playboy bunny before she became famous.
A fun little reggae sounding song. I had no idea this was Blondie, either, but I love the Blondie power in the lyrics. She’s not the kind of girl to give in just like that. She’s gonna be his #1.
In fact it's John holt and the paragons from the sixties
@@TheoPhim thanks. Again, I had no idea.
This reached number1 in the UK charts.
Love your reaction. You're right about the style of the song. It's pretty reggae-ish. This song was released in 1980. Love Debbie Harry!
The song was written by John Holt
This is considered Reggae. Blondie is the Band - Debra Harry is the singer. Check out their cover of RING OF FIRE in the 1980 film "ROADIE" , starring Meat Loaf.
This song got me heavily into Blondie back when I was 7….then I looked backwards into the 70’s(my parents records) & started digging Rapture & Heart of Glass….good stuff 👊🏽👊🏽
When this came out I was living in Birmingham AL. A local radio DJ was convinced it was about the Alabama Crimson Tide. He played to song over and over. When others at the station tried to intervene he locked himself in the booth and kept playing it over and over. This went on for a couple of hours before they finally talked him down.
Blondie is the name of the band. Deborah Harry is the name of the singer.
In the early days they even produced button badges that said, 'Blondie is a group'.
Crazy for me to think that band was playing on the punk scene back around the time they were signed. I only ever heard what I thought was pop from Blondie. No internet when I was 7. 😁 7,8,9 years old don’t matter. Liked hope you guys are blessed and doing well
she kind of brought reggae to mainstream attention, just as she had rap before this, with Rapture. Reggae was very big in Jamaica, and crossed over to England and influenced groups like the Clash. Blondie dug it too.
Please do Blondie's Dreaming video if you can. It rocks. So does Clem Burke. It just might become your favorite Blondie tune.
This is a song you listen to when you are doing something around the house or maybe washing the car. It is just a makes you feel good song. I loved from the first time I heard it so many years ago, and it still males me feel good for some reason.
This is a cover song by a 1967 Reggae band called The Paragons.
Both Gwen Stefani (No Doubt) and this are reggae. Island sound. Quite popular with groups like the Police too.
This was one of Blondie's relatively few covers; the original was by the Paragons, a Jamaican band, in 1967. The Blondie version got far more international exposure though. I don't suppose writer John Holt was complaining!
When I turned on a radio for the very first time when I was a kid, this is the song that was playing. I liked it.
This sounds like reggae+mariachi. Very eclectic band.
My favorite Blondie song.
She does it in a rocksteady. Which is ska, but slower.
hanging on the telephone and dreaming are two good songs by blondie.
Ha! Gwen Stefani should do a cover of this!
She did actually
You guys are just young - just discovering Blondie. I love you taking us along with you on your experience. So I will tell you about my long-time love of Blondie as a group: Gowing up in the 70s and 80s as a white (gay) male, this group just drew me to them. I love basic Punk rock simplicity of the songs, but I always loved Debbie Harry's vocals. Still do. Not lying. This was one of the few groups that was led by a female singer, and I think that's amazing in itself.
There was a period in the late 80s early 90 in the anti-disco era where it wasn't considered acceptable for males to like her music, but I still kept the faith. I always loved Debbie Harry. To be honest, Debbie, and Blondie in general, were way ahead of their time, and I think that their music is just as relevant now than it was then. Or moreso. As a group, they were very diverse. They were a punk group headed by a sexy woman that then also introduced rap and reggae into the mix, and opened the doors for so many other people after them.Blondie was a seriously game-changing group. I've always felt that, but I also feel that they are not given their creative due.
Blondie as a group is an amazing group. I've always thought that was true, but for a long time during the
Ant-Disco Era, the message was that they weren't.Now I understand that that's a bunch of bullshit. The group is amazing. It's diverse. It crosses genres. Yes - all of these things. These guys, and Debbie Harry are amazing, and after thirty years of loving them but kind of sort of apologizing for that- I"m going to stop apologizing. I love this group. They were awesome in the 70s and they are awesome now.
ou said it sounds like ska - and it is ska.
It's a cover of a 1967 tune by a Jamaican group called the Paragons.
Give 'Hanging on the Telephone' 'Picture This' or 'Union City Blue' a listen next guys then dive into the world of Blondie 😊
Wow this preg is changing Brad bigtime...much more expressive😆
This is the low rent video for the song. The video that aired on MTV back in the early 80s was way more magical and had a much higher production (and sound) value.
Blondie has so many sounds ..great band... I would love to see them in concert
I love this song, but I had no idea it was Blondie.
You guys bring up so many songs I love but haven't heard in forever. It's like awesome flashes of memory.
It's also a cover song - from the Jamaican band The Paragons, 1967, but that's probably not the version you heard :)
I absolutely loved this as a kid ,I was really into reggae etc as a kid in Manchester UK in the 70s,so this was a pleasant surprise coming from the USA.
Long live reggae.
You should see Deborah Harry earlier. Playing at cbgb's in New york? She's this skinny heroin looking blonde chick with a mohawk looking very pop punk. These people were right on the Innovation Edge at the time in the New York scene for sure. It influenced so much music to come.
Something about Harry and this band that I appreciate more and more as I get older. Clem Burke, for example, is an outstanding drummer.
I love Clem's drumming on "Dreaming"!!! Great drummer!!! 🥁🔥😎
totally, good call!
Appreciate when others point out things that me, as a non musician, hear. I never think of the drummer being good unless they do a crazy solo. That's not what makes a good drummer. It helps. So as people point out different things in music it helps me appreciate it all more
@@papamaniac2410 you're welcome, and correct. A good drummer is more than just solos!
this is a cover of a rocksteady song performed by the Paragons in the mid/late 60s
I had Debbie's poster on my wall in the 70s next to my Kiss posters 😂 sexiest woman alive
Ha! That island is Jamaica and that islandy sound is reggae! Irie my friends
I loved this song it was great to skate to when I was a kid. This was on the regular playlist at our roller dome and I would whip like crazy to this song! The beat is perfect for skating, a classic😁
That's funny! In the 80s it was Riverdale Roller World for us.
Roller Land for me!! Perfect song to skate & dance to!!!
Happy Wheels Skate Center up in Maine when I was a kid, not sure if it's still there tho.
Thank you for doing an actual video, it's part of the art. ... Blonde is another one of those 1st's in style .
The singer's name is Debbie Harry. The name of the group is Blondie.
Original done by The Paragons, backed by Tommy McCook and the Supersonics.
This is a cover of a song oriby a Jamaican rocksteady band called the Paragons. Rocksteady is sorta… reggae-adjacent
i like that you say you have heard the song before so many reaction to songs saying first time hearing and its like saying i ve never heard the happy birthday song
I loved this song the first time I heard it in 1980 in my grandparents cow shed milking cows at around 6am in the morning as the sun was coming up. Loved it ever since.
Y'all should check out "Union City Blues", "Rip Her To Shreds", and "Hanging On The Telephone"! All are fantastic!
Debbie Harry was adopted as an infant and was raised in Hawthorne , New Jersey.
Blondie could cover assorted genres! Reggae, Nu Wave, Rock, Pop even Rap. So versatile and so under-rated! Thanks for always having a variety!! Love to you!
I had this on vinyl to play at home and on 8 track for my ginormous portable player that took 8 D batteries.
jamaican music became a trend during the 70s until the 80s, many rock and pop bands covered or copied ska/reggae/rocksteady songs, like this one from The Paragons...
Ska was quite popular in the UK during the punk days, but in the early 70s even Led Zeppelin made a reggae song and Keith Richards was a huge fan of those genres.
Saw them at CBGBs back in the day, why back lol !
Blondie does it all- New wave, Punk, Reggae, Ska, Pop..
Debbie Harry was a Playboy Bunny before becoming lead singer for Blondie.
you guys probably know this because it's a CLASSIC and have heard it in movies or in the store shopping even.
Another Amazing Find!!! Great Job 💘💝💗
I liked this song so much when it came out, I went to Bleeker Bob's, in Manhattan , and bought the original 45 on Treasure Isle records. It was a reggae band from Jamaica.
Debbie Harry is just the coolest! Her sound, her look, the whole package. Don't try to label Debbie. That is when she will turn around & blow your preconceptions out of whack.
"They didn't have Instagram back then." --LOL! The internet was fifteen years in the future when this song dropped. Back then we were just getting telephone answering machines, let alone personal computers. And when pc's did arrive... let's just say that your smart phone is a supercomputer compared to those first generation home computers. When you're ready for more from Blondie, check out "Pretty Baby" from their Parallel Lines album, among their many great tunes.
Classic
Bumpers galore! (Don't think I've ever seen that video)
Debbie had Vader's full attention. She was THE Dark-Side-Blonde! OH YEAH!!
Reggae, originally by The Paragons. Reggae is laid back ska, or ska is high-energy reggae... take your pick. For some fun ska, try "Night Boat To Cairo" by Madness, for more reggae try Bob Marley's "Buffalo Soldier".
This is indeed ska. It was originally recorded in the 60s by The Paragons, who were from Kingston. Blondies version is a cover.
The singing Doo Wop like in my opinion. The music is kinda ska / island. I checked the original by the Paragons and the singing similar. My guess is the Paragons were influenced by Doo Wop.
Debbie Harry has an an amazing voice. Listen to that range- hits the lows and highs with perfect pitch. Crisp, clear and so pretty! Listen to Sunday Girl.
Always ahead of the curve . Ska, for sure .
Great number one from 1980.The song was also covered by British band Atomic Kitten in 2002 which also went number one.
This song was first recorded by the Paragons, a Jamaican band from the fifties. Island in the Sun, and Yellow Bird were also big songs for them.
Great reaction!
Preach Brad.
Another soundtrack song from my teens and totally brilliant. Blondie were all styles in one 😊
My son just confirmed the presence of a Darth Vader figure in the vid 😎
