Deborah Harry: Platinum Blondie
Glenn O'Brien, Interview, June 1979
DEBORAH HARRY is the singer in a band called BLONDIE. In recent weeks one of their songs, 'HEART OF GLASS' has been the number one hit in America. It's been a hit in the discos, too. Although, as Debby points out, it's not a disco song but "crossover," and few songs have crossed over so far, so pleasantly.
