DISCO: YES or NO? Blondie " Heart of Glass"

Blondie was mostly known as a punk/new wave band formed by Deborah Harry and Chris Stein in the early 70s. The release of their Parallel Lines LP in 1978 had many fans calling them a \\\”sellout\\\” as the hit single \\\” Heart of Glass\\\” was picked up by radio and classified as Disco, but was it really? Was this a dance floor filler at nightclubs at the height of Disco\\\’s popularity in 1979?The song released in January 1979,reached number one in both the United States and the UK .

The production team made use of cutting edge technology at the time by creating it\\\’s drum pattern on a Roland CR-78 drum machine, first introduced the year the track was recorded. Some DJs of the period would use this as an early evening opening track but in my experiences I never heard anyone program this track to a packed house accustomed to a more energetic style. So what\\\’s the verdict? Disco: YES or NO?
