A huge hit album from the world's sexiest vocalist.
Released in 1978, this was their ninth album. Three songs, "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?", "Ain't Love a Bitch", and the title track "Blondes (Have More Fun)", were hit singles.
"Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?", which incorporated elements of the Disco Sound that was popular at the time, was co-written with Carmine Appice. The song was heavily criticized for "betraying the roots of rock," but since Paul McCartney and The Rolling Stones had already incorporated elements of the Disco Sound, the criticism naturally died down.
