70's Music

First track, second album.

Tina Turner on backing vocals, George Duke on piano...Ike Turner was not amused.

First time I heard this track in the late 80s I thought this was a fresh released single, to find out later it was released more than a decade before. Still fresh today, timeless track.

It's nice to be a lunatic.

I grew up with the Harvest album, masterpiece imo. The world you live in, no one has your part...it is true and beautiful.

Adrian Belew on vocals, guitars and parafernalia known from Talking Heads and King Crimson.

1974

Blondie - Heart Of Glass [3:42]

Release Date: January 28, 1979

Ranking #255 (#259 in 2017) on Rolling Stone’s list of the 500 greatest songs of all time and with its 1.3 million sales in UK only, “Heart Of Glass” made Blondie one of the zeitgeist bands of the 70s.

Initially called “Once I Had A Love”, and referred to as “The Disco Song,” it was one of the first Blondie songs to be written, albeit with a disco beat and a slower pace, until it was arranged and re-recorded as a more Pop-oriented tune, to sound the way it sounds now.

According to Debbie Harry, who co-wrote the song with Chris Stein, “the lyrics weren’t about anyone. They were just a plaintive moan about lost love.”
