The importance of Blondie’s “Call Me” can’t be quantified in sales alone. Sure,  it was a global hit.

It is one of the signature compositions of the man they call the “godfather of disco”, Giorgio Moroder. And let’s not forget the vocal and lyrical contributions of the legendary singer, Debbie Harry.
