Deborah Harry: The Biography

Trailblazing rock goddess's life; Debbie Harry's saga.

If you've ever found yourself mesmerized by the punk rock scene or caught humming a Blondie tune, this biography is your backstage pass to the life of Deborah Harry. You'll be enthralled by her journey from the edgy streets of New York to international fame, and if Madonna's admiration means anything to you, then this unvarnished tribute to a true icon of cool won't disappoint. Dive into the depth of an era-defining star's experiences, straight from the source – it's almost like having coffee with Deborah herself.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Written with Deborah Harry's cooperation, this biography has been fully revised and updated for 2013 to include new studio and live albums, numerous world tours, and Blondie's induction to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The Blondie frontwoman has remained a lasting icon of cool, synonymous with New York City attitude and the intersecting worlds of punk, rock, rap, art, film, and fashion. This book celebrates the life of the original rock goddess as boldly as she's lived it. With three exclusive interviews with Deborah, as well as contributions from her friends, fans, and contemporaries, this book is a tribute to a truly unconventional pop star who is still influencing a new generation of female pop icons.
