Harry's persona, combining cool sexuality with streetwise style, became so closely associated with the group's name that many came to believe 'Blondie' was the singer's name. In June 1979, Blondie was featured on the cover of Rolling Stone. Her look was further popularized by the band's early presence in the music video revolution of the era. With her distinctive photogenic features and two-tone bleached-blonde hair, Harry quickly became a punk icon. Members of Blondie quickly became regulars at Max's Kansas City and CBGB in New York City. After a debut album in 1976, commercial success followed in the late 1970s to the early 1980s, first in Australia and Europe and then in the United States. Shortly thereafter, Harry and Stein formed Blondie, naming it after the term of address men often called Harry when she bleached her hair blonde. Her eventual boyfriend and Blondie guitarist, Chris Stein, joined the band shortly after.Īfter leaving the Stilettoes, Harry and Stein formed Angel and the Snake with Tish Bellomo and Snooky Bellomo. In 1974, Harry joined the Stilettoes with Elda Gentile and Amanda Jones. In the late 1960s, Harry began her musical career as a backing singer for the folk rock group The Wind in the Willows, which released an eponymously named album in 1968 on Capitol Records. The group also recorded a second album it was never released, and the studio tapes remain lost.

Initially named Angela Tremble, she was adopted at three months of age by Richard Smith Harry and Catherine (née Peters), gift shop proprietors in Hawthorne, New Jersey, and renamed Deborah Ann Harry. Harry learned of her adoption at four years old and later, in the late 1980s, she tracked down her birth mother, who refused to have any contact with her. Harry attended Hawthorne High School, from which she graduated in 1963. She graduated from Centenary College in Hackettstown, New Jersey, with an Associate of Arts degree in 1965. Before starting her singing career, she moved to New York City in the late 1960s and worked there as a secretary at BBC Radio's office for one year. Later, she was a waitress at Max's Kansas City, a go-go dancer in a Union City, New Jersey, discothèque, and a Playboy Bunny.

Harry was born on July 1, 1945, in Miami, Florida.
