On this date in 1979 {Feb. 17th} "Heart of Glass" entered Billboard's Hot Top 100; on April 28th it would peak at #1 {for 1 week} and spent 21 weeks in the Top 100...
Ranked #18 on Billboard's Year-End Hot 100 Singles of 1958 chart
Reached #1 on the U.K. Singles chart, Australia, Austria, Canada, New Zealand, Germany, and Switzerland...
Featured in the movies "Just Before Dawn", "Anger Management", and "Super 8"...
Does anyone know that the lead singer of this band (Deborah Harry) claimed to have taken a ride with Ted Bundy in the early '70's during his murder spree?
I'm 14, I just wish I could have lived in a generation NOT full of man-whores with another slut around their arms listening to sounds that aren't even music, sounds that sound like when the freaking raccoons go in my recycling and knock everything over. Don't worry, if you're older and you have lost hope in MY generation, THERE ARE STILL A FEW ABLE-MINDED PEOPLE LEFT. :)
I love this song not only because Debbie Harry never sounded so sexy but also because the band plays this unbelievably cool score that contains a hint of trance, which wouldn't be truly captured until he 90's. Just awesome.
WOw, I've been a song writer for years. this song brings back memories. Nothing but good things. Please check my video 'Love Is A Pain' on my page youtube.com/watch?v=8AZI6hjIwIw
It just seems wrong to LOVE a disco song so much!! Oh Well...it wouldn't be the first time I did something out of character because of a hot looking chick!! I absolutely draw the line at line dancing though...Never in a million years!!
@Kitsaras88 Thanks m8! Glad you could relate. I do have to admit that if Debby Harry asked me to line dance with her I would do it. In fact if Debby Harry asked me to do ANYTHING I would do it...no questions asked!! Not that I would ever have that much luck in one lifetime.
This is true; synthesizers were not widely used until this period in music; however, while in the late seventies and early eighties it was a great breakthrough, I'm afraid as time went on it was abused and overly exploited until it was no longer an innovative sound. They did this with disco. While many of the earlier disco recordings were great (I'm thinking of Van McCoy and the Spinners' version of "Working My Way Back to You," as well as the Hues Corporation, it became it's own anecdote.
@margolou2010 I'm sure Gary Numan/Tubeway Army fucking HATED this song for it's disco overtones. Personally, I like it. I wouldn't really call this New Wave, nor would I say that New Wave didn't last long-I don't really think it ever died. Perhaps it lost it's mainstream appeal early on...
@HoleHeadedLiar Maybe you're right. Perhaps New Wave just evolved into something else. Music is in a constant state of metamorphosis; it's constantly changing and adapting.
@margolou2010 New Wave opened many doors: the most important was the doorway to acceptance of synthesizers in popular music; without New Wave, many very important artists never would have felt as free as they did; (NIN, Skinny Puppy, etc.) and we would have missed out on much. Synths had been used in disco, and Art-Rock, but New Wave happened in a time of revolution, which was punk. Everyone accepted punk. So, too did they New Wave. Disco and Art Rock were never truly accepted in the mainstream.
for some reason this song reminds me of the movie CASINOwROBERT DINERO or SCARFACE or that movie called BLOW with JOHNNY DEPP AND PEONELOPE CRUZ :) ALL CLASSICS!!!!!
@AloofAri6 we must be the only smart ones that realized this ;o btw.. ya sure ya not on crack? O-o? if ya do got crack maybe ya should share with meh >;o
