Debbie Harry says a lengthy association with downtown New York City's alternative lifestyle community led to Blondie's recent refusal to perform at the Winter Olympics in Russia.
Blondie lead singer Debbie Harry is considering retiring after one last world tour with the group, according to drummer Clem Burke. As he explains, the move would put an end to the groundbreaking band: "Obviously there’s no Blondie without Debbie Harry."
I have so say I'm pretty excited about this. I wouldn't say I'm a die-hard Blondie fan, but she was very much a part of my childhood.
See, my brother who was a few years older, loved Blondie. Radio at the time played a lot of Blondie, and my brother had all the records and played them all the time.
"Dreaming" was released in 1979, it was the lead single from their fourth album Eat to the Beat. It peaked at #2 in the British singles chart. "Dreaming" was written by the group's principal songwriting partnership, Deborah Harry and Chris Stein.
