Biography
Blondie is an American rock band, founded by singer Debbie Harry and guitarist
Chris Stein. The band was a pioneer in the early American new wave and punk
scenes of the mid-1970s. Their first two albums contained strong elements of
these genres, and although successful in the United Kingdom and Australia,
Blondie was regarded as an underground band in the United States until the
release of Parallel Lines in 1978. Over the next three years, the band achieved
several hit singles and became noted for its eclectic mix of musical styles
incorporating elements of disco, pop, rap, and reggae, while retaining a basic
style as a new wave band.
Blondie broke up after the release of their sixth studio album The Hunter in
1982. Debbie Harry continued to pursue a solo career with varied results after
taking a few years off to care for partner Chris Stein, who was diagnosed with
pemphigus, a rare autoimmune disease of the skin.
The band reformed in 1997, achieving renewed success and a number one single in
the United Kingdom with "Maria" in 1999. The group toured and performed
throughout the world during the following years, and was inducted into the Rock
and Roll Hall of Fame in 2006. Blondie has sold 40 million records worldwide and
is still active today.
