ROCKIN'| FIRST TIME HEARING Blondie - Maria REACTION

Whoever decided to hit the bells during the chorus deserves a raise

"Dreaming" by Blondie is one of my all-time favorite songs. Clem Burke is a beast on the drums.

This song was released in 1999 and went to number 1 in the Ofiicial UK Singles Chart, (she made it into the Guinness Book of World Records, in 1999, aged 53, becoming the "Oldest Female Singer To Reach No.1 in the UK Chart)

"Maria" is one of my favorite Blondie songs! "Heart of Glass is my favorite.❤ Blondie was a part of my childhood and teen years. The 80s were good times!😊🎉

1999 at age 53, became the oldest female singer to have a number one hit in the UK chart for this song!! Debbie Harry is definitely a rockin' legend!!

Maria was Blondie's a big comeback single. This was the first new music the band had come out with in 17 years. It was released 98/99. The album it comes from, No Exit is really good. This was a huge song when it came out. Debbie had been a solo artist and doing a lot of film work in the late 80's and early 90's. Blondie has some many great songs. I'm glad to see you guys going back to them. Some others I think you would like: Dreaming, Slow Motion, Union City Blue, The Hardest Part, Hanging On The Telephone, Denis, Detroit 442, In The Flesh, No Exit, Good Boys, Shakedown, Undone, Golden Rod, Background Melody, Mother, What I Heard, Love Doesn't Frighten Me, China Shoes, Take It Back, Backroom, Take Me In The Night, Sugar On The Side, Long Time, Fun, My Monster, Gravity. So many great songs. Debbie's solo career has some great songs as well, worth checking into her solo works as well: Backfired, Inner City Spillover, Jump Jump, Now I Know You Know, French Kissin' In The USA, Secret Life, Beyond The Limit, In Love With Love, Free To Fall, I Want That Man, Brite Side, Rush Rush, Bike Boy, Sweet And Low, I Can See Clearly, Strike Me Pink, Dog Star Girl, Mood Ring, The Fugitive, Deep End, Two Times Blue, Whiteout, Love With A Vengeance. Debbie also worked with Dolly Parton on a version of Heart Of Glass that will be out on Dolly's forthcoming rock album, Rockstar next month.

She Still Rocks.... 30 odd years latter.. not many can do that

Totally dig Blondie. Tide is High is my fave from her, total reggae/rock song.

Blondie is one of the best bands. Love their music. This song saw Blondie getting back together with Clem Burke (drummer) and Chris Stein (guitar) after having been broken up as a band for almost two decades and Debbie went solo. Blondie ended it in 1982 and this song brought them back in 1999. A really good song and shows their staying power and talent.

Union City Blue is massively underrated and terribly underplayed. Please do a reaction to this Blondie masterpiece and you will not be disappointed!!

FINALLY!!!! I was waiting for this reaction. I love this music and Blondie. Thanks for that!

Blondie's discography has a lot of great hard hitting bangers from the 70's, 80's. For example "Hanging on the Telephone," "Dreaming," "One Way or Another," etc.

"Dreaming" Blondie rocks hard. Clem live is a beast on drums !!!

Debbie had/has amazing pipes. Great reaction vid, Amber & Jay. FWIW, Debbie was in her mid 50s when they recorded this.

The most rockin' Blonde song you are gonna get is "One Way Or Another"!!!! A Must Listen!!!!! Her very best!!!!

Blondie split up in 1982 and reformed in 1999 for this which was a number 1 hit. They are still together

Great pick! You have wondered if Blondie has a "sound", as their sound seems to be all over the place; well, this song represents their "core sound"! After a tragic breakup in 1982, we all thought Blondie was done. Then, years later, this song appears, and we were like "Hey, this sounds like Blondie....WAIT this IS Blondie!" This song is instantly recognizable as a Blondie song. We couldn't believe it, such a great song & an epic return. After their breakup, they reformed the band in 1997, with most of the original members and some new faces. But they could not get a record label to sign them! So they formed their own label, and came out with their first album in over 15 years, and this song shoots to #1; their story is epic. Blondie was always a rock band to me; they started as a punk rock band, and I first heard them when the rock station in Houston debuted "One Way Or Another" (A CLASSIC rock song, and you guys should check it out). Their later stuff is actually the sound you've heard; Rapture, The Tide is High, those came after they established their punk rock sound. Heart of Glass was done as an experiment (another great story), and they had no idea it would become their biggest hit. But their rock sound came before the others :) This song is actually a return to their roots, 2 decades after they first formed. Keep rockin it guys!

One of my favorite Blondie songs. This different style came in at a very good time too. Late 90s/early 2000s was a time when older pop/rock groups were having a surgence. Blondie, U2, Duran Duran, etc. Bands that made charts in the 80s, were making charts again and it was exciting seeing bands we loved back then coming into a newer sound but still had that fun groove from the 80s and brought in a newer generation of fans. 😎👍

Clem Burke is the heartbeat of Blondie. He beats those skins like no one else !!!!

Hard to believe this now 25 yrs old. Great Song Harry, Stein, Burke, and Destri, were still Excellent
