Blondie - Picture This • TopPop

Blondie is an American rock band co-founded by singer Debbie Harry, and guitarist Chris Stein.
The band were pioneers in the American punk and then the new wave scene of the mid-1970s in New York. Its first two albums contained strong elements of these genres, and although highly 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 including "Heart of Glass", "Call Me", "Rapture" and "The Tide Is High". The band became noted for its eclectic mix of musical styles incorporating elements of disco, pop, reggae, and early rap music.

This video concept was not ideal for someone as photogenic as Debbie Harry: everybody wants to see her! Thought that would be obvious to the producer....

The only woman since who has born a passing resemblance to Debbie is Jack Bauer's daughter Kim, in the early seasons of 24.

[@gaynor1721]

Glynis Barber is Debbie Harry's double.

Both, Glynis, and Kim are terrific. But Debbie is on another level is not even fair. She's the most beautiful woman in history.

[@MrWeAllAreOne]

What on Earth happened to the brains of the folk her set up this video shoot? Where is Debbie? Total fail right there in ya face.

[@bellerophonchallen8861]

She's on the TV, this is late seventies Pop Art! Wasn't she in Videodrome in the early eighties? This idea of TV taking over our lives was a serious concern, The Videodrome sort of looked at these issues, sort of for a David Cronenberg movie.

[@michaelmckenna7109]

@@bellerophonchallen8861 This was in the Top Of The Pops studio in Holland 1978. There's a much better performance of them in the Top Of The Pops UK in 1978. The movie Debbie starred in Videodrome came out in 1982 and was banned for a couple of months in Europe, at that time critics said "it was to shocking." They cut some scenes out of the movie and released it again.

[@bellerophonchallen8861]

@@michaelmckenna7109 Ah, thanks. It was that bit at the end of Videodrome, didn't the guy going a basement, or was he on a boat? and what he thought was her was actually on a TV. Bit 1984ish. This idea of TV as all pervasive was quite a radical idea in the punk years and just after.
