Remastered to 4k by UPRestorations Best Quality Video Showing More Details Than Original Video Uploaded on Blondie Official Channel ‘Heart of Glass’ was released as the third single from their 1978 record and was an instant radio-ready classic. It was the first breakthrough into the wider collective consciousness as it’s album Parallel Lines saw Blondie, and most notably their lead singer Harry, become icons of the coming decade before it even arrived. The searing punk power that emanated from the Clem Burke’s rhythm section was pulsating, but with Harry’s vocals and Chris Stein’s intuitive disco-flecked licks, Blondie were suddenly climbing the music ladder three-rungs at a time. The song signalled a bright new future for the band but it had actually come out from their past. Debbie Harry and Chris Stein wrote an early version of the track called ‘Once I Had a Love’ in 1974-75 during the band’s earliest beginnings. This earlier version was first recorded as a demo in 1975. At that point, the song had a slower, funkier sound with a basic disco beat. For this reason, the band referred to it as ‘The Disco Song’—you can listen to a cut of that below. In an interview with EW, Harry revealed ‘Heart of Glass’ was pretty set from the beginning. “Once we had the track nailed down, it stayed that way since 1975—that’s when we first started working on it,” she said. The singer also revealed that it almost didn’t get off the ground, admitting: “People got upset because I sang ‘ass’. Maybe because it’s a three-letter word and not a four-letter word? I think we got banned in a few places because of that. We were very raw and minimalist then.” 🔔Subscribe to the Blondie YouTube channel: ▶️Watch more Blondie Music Videos: Follow Blondie Online: Instagram: Facebook: Twitter: TikTok: @blondieofficial Website:
