Blondie helped the Sugar Hill Gang get famous. Blondie was touring with Chic in NYC and Debbie suggested they go uptown and see a rap event featuring some fresh young street MCs and DJs. One thing led to another and Chic ended up playing Good Times with the Sugar Hill Gang, who ran with it as "Rappers Delight." Chic later sued the Sugar Hill Gang, but after realizing how good the new song was, settled with just co-writer's credit.
