Musical Stardom with Blondie

Harry co-founded Blondie in 1974 with her then-boyfriend, guitarist Chris Stein. Her distinctive voice and magnetic stage presence helped catapult the band into global fame. With smash hits like “Heart of Glass,” “The Tide is High,” and “Rapture,” Blondie dominated the charts from the late ‘70s through the early 2000s. Notably, “Rapture” became the first rap-infused track to reach number one on the U.S. charts, cementing Harry’s place in music history as a pioneer.

Blondie’s 1978 album “Parallel Lines” sold millions of copies, while subsequent releases like “Eat to the Beat” and “Autoamerican” delivered more chart-topping singles. The band continued to release successful albums well into the 21st century, including “No Exit” (1999), which featured the global hit “Maria.”

Solo Career

In addition to her success with Blondie, Debbie Harry launched a solo career in 1981 with the album “KooKoo,” which achieved commercial success in both the U.S. and UK. Over the years, she released several more solo albums such as “Rockbird,” “Def, Dumb and Blonde,” “Debravation,” and “Necessary Evil.”

Beyond music, Harry became a recognizable face on screen, starring in cult films such as “Videodrome” (1983), “Hairspray” (1988), and “Cop Land” (1997). Her diverse talents helped her remain relevant across decades of changing pop culture.

Catalog Sale

In August 2020, Harry and Chris Stein made headlines after selling the rights to 197 of Blondie’s classic songs to Hipgnosis Songs Ltd. While the exact amount remains undisclosed, such catalog sales often fetch multi-million dollar figures, adding significantly to her wealth.

Harry has also invested in real estate. In 2016, she purchased an 18th-century Colonial house in Roxbury, Connecticut for $785,000. Nestled on 26 acres, the home was listed for rent in 2023 for $6,000 per month, showcasing her savvy property investments.
