Into The Groove with Debbie Harry

Between 1977 and '82, hers was the face that melted a million hearts and the voice that creamed a string of hits for Blondie, the group she formed with boyfriend-guitarist Chris Stein. She was the face to come out of the punk explosion and mid-’70s New York rock renaissance. Seemingly overnight, lovely club funster Debbie Harry was staring dreamily off magazine covers and bedroom walls all over the world.

But Blondie dissolved after Debbie’s Koo Koo solo album and the group’s rather directionless final effort, The Hunter in 1982. Debbie made a couple of singles—late ’83s’ “Rush Rush” from the Scarface movie and the subliminal dancefloor steamer ‘‘Feel The Spin. ” She also had a stint playing a female wrestler in the offBroadway play Teaneck Tanzi.
