BLONDIE
BIOGRAPHY
Blondie was the most commercially successful band to emerge from the much vaunted punk/new wave movement of the late '70s. The group was formed in New York City in August 1974 by singer Deborah Harry (b. July 1, 1945, Miami), formerly of Wind in the Willows, and guitarist Chris Stein (b. Jan. 5, 1950, Brooklyn) out of the remnants of Harry's previous group, the Stilettos. They released their first album, Blondie, on Private Stock Records in December 1976.
In 1977, Chrysalis Records bought their contract from Private Stock and reissued Blondie and released the second album, Plastic Letters. Blondie broke commercially in the U.K. in March 1978, when their cover of Randy and the Rainbows' 1963 hit "Denise, renamed "Denis, became a Top Ten hit, as did Plastic Letters, followed by a second U.K. Top Ten, "(I'm Always Touched by Your) Presence, Dear." Blondie turned to U.K. producer/songwriter Mike Chapman for their third album, Parallel Lines, which was released in September 1978 and eventually broke them worldwide. Blondie followed with their fourth album, Eat to the Beat, in October.
Meanwhile, Harry was collaborating with German disco producer Giorgio Moroder on "Call Me, the theme from the movie American Gigolo. It became Blondie's second transatlantic chart topper. Blondie's fifth album, Autoamerican, was released in November 1980. In 1981, the members of Blondie worked on individual projects, notably Harry's gold-selling solo album, KooKoo. The Best of Blondie was released in the fall of the year. The Hunter, Blondie's sixth and last new album, was released in July 1982, but was a commercial disappointment. At the same time, Stein became seriously ill with the genetic disease pemphigus. As a result, Blondie broke up in October 1982, with Deborah Harry launching a part-time solo career while caring for Stein, who eventually recovered. In 1998, the original line-up of Harry, Stein, Destri and Burke reunited to tour Europe, their first series of dates in 16 years; a new LP, No Exit, followed early the next year.
