Debbie Harry (Blondie) Art

Deborah Ann Harry, born Angela Trimble in Miami, Florida in 1945, was adopted as an infant and raised in New Jersey. After a brief stint in college and various jobs including a Playboy Bunny, she moved to New York City in the late 1960s, immersing herself in the burgeoning music scene. Her early musical endeavors included singing backup for the folk-rock group The Wind in the Willows. However, it was in 1974 that she co-founded the iconic band Blondie with guitarist Chris Stein. Named after the catcalls Harry received for her bleached blonde hair, Blondie quickly became a fixture in the New York punk and new wave scene, playing legendary clubs like CBGB.

Blondie's breakthrough came with their third album, "Parallel Lines" (1978), which spawned the global hit "Heart of Glass" and catapulted Debbie Harry to international stardom. Her striking looks, cool charisma, and distinctive vocals made her a pop culture icon. Throughout Blondie's successful run, which included numerous chart-topping singles like "Call Me," "The Tide Is High," and "Rapture," Harry became synonymous with the band's innovative blend of punk, new wave, disco, and even early hip-hop. Following Blondie's initial breakup in 1982, Debbie Harry embarked on a solo career, releasing several albums and venturing into acting with roles in films by directors like David Cronenberg and John Waters, further solidifying her status as a multifaceted artist.
