Deborah
Harry
by Cathay
Che. Hardcover (May 2000) Deborah Harry, who became one of the biggest
stars of the eighties with her sensationally popular band Blondie, has
returned to the spotlight with the recent Blondie album No Exit. It was
she whose songs "Heart of Glass," "Sunday Girl," "Atomic," and "The Tide
Is High" made her an international star, marked the end of disco, and
set the stage for American new wave. Credited with the first rap hit,
"Rapture," she was also a singer in a sixties hippie band, a waitress
at Max's Kansas City, a Playboy Club hostess, and scenester in the company
of the Ramones and the Talking Heads at CBGB. She became a mainstream
star, yet her punk sensibility and esoteric interests, not to mention
her close friendship with Andy Warhol, set her apart from the archetypal
blond bombshell and made her name synonymous with New York cool and the
intersecting worlds of punk, rock, rap, art, film, and fashion. Written
with Deborah's full cooperation, Deborah Harry tells her story with the
uncensored candor of a life often lived with reckless abandon. What emerges
from these pages, filled with new insights from Deborah herself and from
her peers, friends, and family, is a portrait of an artist whose music,
sexuality, and strength "have made her a lasting influence. Madonna, Courtney
Love, Spice Girls, bow down the lot of you to the powerpop queen" (The
Guardian). Purchase |
