“In the 70s, there was more innocence. It was about personal identity, it wasn’t just about money”: how Blondie’s Debbie Harry went from punk icon to rock survivor

Blondie are one of the most iconic bands to come out of the 70s New York punk scene. Rising at the same time as Ramones, Talking Heads and Television, they swiftly swapped CBGBs for pop stardom, notching up a peerless run of hits, including Hanging On The Telephone, Call Me, One Way Or Another, Heart Of Glass, Atomic and Rapture. They split following 1982, but returned 15 years later with the hit single Maria. In 2011, as they released their second post-reunion album Panic Of Girls, singer Debbie Harry sat down with Classic Rock’s Chris Roberts to look back over her band’s dazzling career.
