Things You Never Knew About Blondie

BLONDIE deserves so much respect for their contribution to music, no other band in any genre has been so creative, ground breaking and witty. This entry will focus on things you probably didn't know about the group and their leader Debbie Harry.



Debbie Harry's real name at birth was actually Angela Trimble. She was adopted at the age of three months, by Catherine and Richard Harry, gift shop owners in New Jersey.

Before she joined Blondie, Debbie Harry worked as a secretary at BBC Radio’s NYC office, a waitress, a dancer and a Playboy Bunny.

Debbie Harry’s first band was folk rock group The Wind In The Willows. She later joined a girl-group trio, The Stilettos, in the early ‘70s. It was there she met Chris Stein (the band’s backup guitarist), who would later join Blondie and become her boyfriend.

In 1974, Stein and Harry gathered a few more band members and formed Angel and the Snake. The name changed to Blondie in late 1975.
