Blondie
Blondie's lead singer Debbie Harry co-wrote this global smash with renowned producer Giorgio Moroder. The song was featured in the film ‘American Gigolo’ which starred Richard Gere. On both sides of the Atlantic, the single reached #1. It did the same in Canada. On the Australian Top 40, the single peaked at #4.
