There are a handful of women in pop during the 1970's who helped change the look and sound of contemporary music and Deborah Harry was one of the most significant. Blondie were formed in the mid 70's, and their debut self titled album may well have been lost in the rush of disco and novelty hits, had it not have been for the Aussie music program 'Countdown' playing the B side of their release 'X Offender' - 'In the flesh'. The song became so in demand, the record label Chrysalis released it as an A single and it stormed the local charts in late 1977, reaching #2 and spending 6 months in the list. It was still 2 albums away from 'Heart of Glass' and the massive popularity that the band enjoyed for a few short years, before disbanding for a long period, only to resurrect their name and act nearly 2 decades on.

Debbie Harry is an iconic figure in so many ways, and the mixture of the music' pastiche styles with a lacing of punk on top of pop/rock/retro sounds, brought the lead singer and the members of Blondie a place in pop culture history. Enjoy!
