Blondie rates highly as the single most popular and successful group to emerge from
the 1970s New York City punk/New Wave music scene. Blondie was founded
by singer/songwriter Deborah Harry and guitarist Chris Stein in 1974.
Drummer Clem Burke, bass player Gary Valentine and keyboardist Jimmy
Destri joined the band in 1975. Blondie started out by performing in
such noted New York City underground club venues as CBGB's, Max's Kansas
City (Harry had previously worked at this place as a waitress), and
Club 51. The band released their self-titled debut album in 1976. Their
second album "Plastic Letters" followed in 1977; the song "Denis" was a
#2 hit in England.

Blondie achieved even greater success with their third album "Parallel
Lines" in 1978; the excellent disco song "Heart of Glass" was a #1 hit
on the US and UK radio charts alike and sold over a million copies. The
album went on to sell over twenty million copies worldwide. The punchy
"One Way or Another" reached #24 on the US Billboard charts and the
charming "Sunday Girl" was a #1 hit in Britain. Blondie enjoyed three
more US #1 radio hits in steady succession in the early 1980s: the
rousing "Call Me" (this song was featured as the opening credits tune
for the film American Gigolo (1980)), the catchy calypso number "The
Tide is High", and the funky proto-rap offering "Rapture". Alas, the
group was forced to break up in 1982 because of the failure of their
ill-received sixth album "The Hunter" and Stein being diagnosed with the
rare severe illness pemphigus.

In 1997, Blondie got back together and went on an international tour in
1998. In 1999, the band released their seventh album "No Exit". The song
"Maria" was a #1 hit in England (this single was the sixth Blondie song
to reach the #1 top spot in Britain). This comeback album was followed
by "The Curse of Blondie" in 2003. Blondie's songs have been featured on
the soundtracks to numerous films.The group appear as themselves in the
documentary movie The Blank Generation (1976). Blondie was inducted
into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on March 13, 2006 and the Rock Walk
Hall of Fame on May 22, 2006. In 2008, Blondie embarked on another
international tour.
