Debbie Harry & Chris Stein - The Merv Griffin Show - 16th January 1981

[@SquillyMon]

She is just an Angel on Earth. No other way to describe Deborah Harry.

[@666chinchilla]

maybe an angel of satans.

An Angel on the balcony perhaps?

Chris stein was one lucky guy back then, talk about the geek & the goddess she is so painfully gorgeous.

[@tod1way]

Chris looks like a studious young businessman. It's such a great juxtaposition of respectable young man and Punk rocker at the same time!

[@JenR1215]

fuck yea

[@timburr4453]

Not only was he a part of that whole scene we have to thank him for documenting it as well with his camera.

[@hazelwray4184]

That juxtaposition isn't unusual for New Wave - David Byrne, Elvis Costello etc

[@j.keranen4627]

Debbie and Chris are perfect but so are "the old guys" who interview them. I think everyone appreciates everyone. This is the way life should be

[@guyinsf]

Debbie is just stunning here!

[@melgrant7404]

stu wilks looks like Marilyn Monroe

[@guyinsf]

I don't see the resemblance except they are both blonds.

[@melgrant7404]

She always been!

@@melgrant7404 how could it be just your opinion when it was Debbie who thought it!!

[@RebelBuddha1971]

Love her voice. The New York accent just makes her speaking voice sound better than it already does. God, her natural charisma just radiates off the screen, even on a 39 year old video clip.

[@brkitdwn]

She was born in Florida and raised in New Jersey.

[@philmstud2k]

That's 100% Jersey accent

[@Marchant2]

The two hosts are really fawning over Debbie and Chris. How nice.

[@philmstud2k]

This was their peak. They were on top of the world at this point.

[@kaori_kanzaki]

Her gentle voice sounds like an ASMR to my ears 😍

[@dannyweasner7925]

Sweetheart Debbie Harry and Awesome Genius Chris Stein....

Cold as ice cream but still as sweet...

[@johnsmith-zh1bt]

she put her career on hold to help chris with his skin disease and her career never truly recovered but it indicates that she is a nice person underneath

[@paulinportsva4464]

I love this! I wish we could see the tide is high music part. They were the cutest and coolest couple.

[@rjs617]

That list of all their accomplishments, number one this, top of the charts that… All that hard work and creativity, and Debbie and Chris were a couple years away from being flat broke. The music industry is brutal for artists. Glad they were able to bounce back eventually.

[@neilduran3586]

When Chris and Debbie were being interviewed, did they ever think that 42 years later they would still be producing quality music?

[@riobabic8960]

Fantastic interview !

[@Sindoku]

Debbie absolutely carries the bands interviews

[@pjimmbojimmbo1990]

4 days short of 40 yrs ago.... She looked Incredible here

[@kaori_kanzaki]

I'm a straight woman but I'd make an exception to such a gorgeous and talented lady like Debbie, I have a such a huge crush on her I wish I could go back to 70s or 80s. But sadly I'm 47 years younger than her lmao.

[@guyinsf]

We all need a time travel machine to go back to the 70s and get with Debbie!

[@katsullivan7274]

Aw, could they both be more cute in this interview. ❤️❤️

Debbie is such a sweetheart

Classic! Love her in the Rapture shorts. Nice to see you again, Marky! xx

[@jonx6264]

She is so beautiful thanks god the best I love her singing always love for her always the best always.

[@BasementBerean]

This is really historic stuff. I remember how I felt when Rapture was new. I thought it was weird and that music was sort of going to garbage, but later in life realized how amazing the song was, and I like it now.

He comes off as pretty charming and funny which is really attractive

Wow, the 2nd host got a kiss on the lips during the introduction? Edit: Damn, he went for a second, longer one at the end. Hmm. I don't know about him. Seems he's taking advantage of that position as 2nd host.

Like Wendy James whome I adore Debbie was my first pop star crush at 8 or 9 79 80 .And Wendy adored Debbie as well how could could she not and everyone

@SWRural she seems to think that? Doesn't look like it

[@sanD-xq8nb]

Was it a kiss in her mouth 0:22 , 7:24 ? Debby Harry was a very beautiful woman, but I don't know what happend to her beetwen 1982 and 1983 that she changed in her body and her face and wasn't so attractive since then.

[@guyinsf]

1982 to 1983 were a dark period for Debbie. Chris Stein was near death with his disease and she and the band pretty much had to break up and she devoted her time solely to taking care of Chris and completely dropped out of the spotlight. Also during this period she and Chris got back into drugs very heavily because of the stress of his disease and the fact that Blondie broke up.

[@kaori_kanzaki]

She looked hot around 1987-89 as well imo. Check Sweet and Low MV of her.

[@thehouseofautumnspells258]

Kinda creepy when the old guy kisses her on the lips & pervs out tho.....

Kind of sexist calling Chris the creative brain of Blondie.
