Randy's College of Musical Knowledge



Hey kids, lesson one here, we'll be back with more knowledgeable tidbits soon.

Here's a little known fact:
"Call Me" written by Giorgio Moroder for the "American Gigalo" soundtrack was first offered to Stevie Nicks. European Disco producer Giorgio Moroder wrote this with Blondie lead singer Debbie Harry, who thus became the first woman in British chart history to write three #1 hits. However she hadn't been Moroder's first choice. The Italian disco king had originally wanted Stevie Nicks to provide vocals on the track but the Fleetwood Mac vocalist declined the offer.

The song went to number one in 1980.

speaking of Blondie , one of the best LP's of all time is the "Parallel Lines" album . Do you have that one Randy ? Songs like "will anything happen" and
"pretty Baby" , great stuff .

I heard that Britney's "Hit Me Baby One More Time" was written for TLC but they passed on it...
