Debbie Harry

Parallel Lines in 1978 and the international success of Heart of Glass carried Harry and Blondie from their New York scene into a much larger spotlight. The band had formed in 1974 and already released two albums, while Harry's musical experience reached further back. That history makes the apparent arrival more interesting. Listen across the early records to hear how an existing mixture of pop instincts and club energy became globally recognisable, with Harry's distinctive delivery providing continuity through the transition.
