Of all the bands that emerged out of New York's burgeoning music scene in the 1970s, none capture the anything-goes ethos quite as well as Blondie. Led by the stylish, magnetic and effortlessly cool Debbie Harry — and featuring the driving core of guitarist Chris Stein and drummer Clem Burke — Blondie fused cabaret, rock, hip-hop and world music into their sound and managed to make it edgy and popular at the same time. From creative covers of songs such as "Hanging on the Telephone" and "The Tide is High" to now-classic hit singles such as "One Way or Another," "Heart of Glass," "Rapture" and "Call Me," Blondie has remained embedded in the soundtracks of our lives. As the band prepares for their 50th anniversary in 2024, The Unofficial Story of Blondie looks back on their legacy of innovation and influence — plus the personal dramas that have made their history so messy and magnificent — with fabulous photos and a countdown of the songs you're going to want to add to your playlist right away.
