Blondie – willowdot21

This week our prompt for Song Lyric Sunday from Jim Adams is: Songs that were turned down by recording artists that went on to become big hits. Jim is Still away so it’s over to Fandango’s .. thank you for hosting Fandango! Sorry I should of put the link to his page in earlier!

I have chosen to go back to 1980. Three years before my last son was born. I had two sons and plenty to keep me busy!

Call me Blondies big hit was first offered to Stevie Nick’s of Fleetwood Mac fame. Okay, this is one song both artists could have rocked. Producer Giorgio Moroder first approached Fleetwood Mac’s Stevie Nicks and asked her to help write a song for the 1980 film American Gigolo. After declining, Debbie Harry came on board and the rest, as they say, is history! I for one are delighted by that fact! Yea! Debbie Harry and Blondie!
