Before 1978, Blondie was seen as a retro, girl-group-inspired act, but their third album Parallel Lines, produced by Mike Chapman, transformed them into new wave power pop stars. Highlighting Debbie Harry’s alluring vocals and Clem Burke’s dynamic drumming, the album featured hits like the disco-punk crossover “Heart of Glass” and the punchy “One Way or Another,” cementing Blondie’s place in the mainstream.
