As it was the first single I bought with my own money it seems only befitting to post it today to celebrate the 70th birthday of the one and only Debbie Harry. It goes without saying that she has had a huge influence in music ever since Blondie emerged from the New York City punk scene in the 70s, and thankfully shows no sign of slowing down today.
Happy 70th Debbie.
If you're willing to believe my story, this was my first record too. Probably... http://isthis-thelife.blogspot.co.uk/2014/02/the-first-record-conundrum_14.html
ReplyDeleteGreat post Robster, if Union City blue was your first record it would be great, if it was Ghost town that would be pretty special. Still, for me, quite possibly the best Number 1 single ever in the UK
DeleteHappy birthday Debbie!
ReplyDeleteStill looking great at 70 as well..

You should post them on the blog one day CC, with a warning beforehand...
DeleteWe'll see!
DeleteYup. Love the video too.
ReplyDeleteThink it was seeing the video that made me want the single...
DeleteGreat song, great woman - and a great first single to buy too... I can understand why the video helped!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday Debbie, it's mine tomorrow!
Hope you have a great day tomorrow C, Happy Birthday when it comes. Can't think what you mean 'bout the video :) one of the most beautiful women ever, of that there is no doubt...
DeleteFantastic first song, Scott. Debbie is a heroine to so many of us. Happy 70th!
ReplyDeleteGood first single, absolute classic song and great video. It would have been in my first dozen or so singles. These days I play Dreaming more.
