Blondie's "Rapture"

From Robert B – Mr. Pop – Who had the first white rap hit?

Mr. Pop History – The first white hit with rap was Blondie’s (Deborah Harry) “Rapture” (get it?) back in 1981 – just after the one that started it all – “Rapper’s Delight” by the Sugar Hill Gang. 

Come back soon, as I answer, to the best of my knowledge, another one of your pop history/culture questions.
