Blondie is an American Punk/New Wave/Rock band founded in New York City in 1975.
The group was originally called “Angel and the Snake“. After noticing that men would frequently yell “Hey Blondie!” at Debbie Harry as she drove around, the group changed their name to “Blondie” in 1975.
The group, led by lead singer Debbie Harry and Guitarist Chris Stein, had a great deal of chart success in the late 1970′s and early 1980′s.
Blondie’s hits included:
Call Me
Heart of Glass
The Tide is High
One Way or Another
Rapture
Maria
Dreaming
Atomic
Island of Lost Souls
Four of their singles went to #1 on the Billboard Top-40 Charts.
The single “Call Me” was featured in the Richard Gere film “American Gigolo”.
They have released 8 Studio Albums in their career.
The group broke up from 1982-1997 before reforming with Harry, Stein, and many new backing members.
Blondie was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2006.
