Album Notes & Community Reviews

Giorgio Moroder originally presented the instrumental backing track to Stevie Nicks before giving it to Blondie's Debbie Harry to write lyrics for the film 'American Gigolo'. Driven by a galloping, synthesized disco beat and Clem Burke's aggressive live drumming, the song perfectly bridged punk-adjacent new wave with Euro-disco. It spent six consecutive weeks at number one, becoming the highest-selling single in the US for the year 1980.
