Debbie Harry - Most of All: The Best of Deborah Harry (1999)

Debbie Harry is a gifted vocalist and actress who became the biggest star associated with the New York punk explosion of the '70s. As the lead vocalist with Blondie, Harry's cool charisma and breathy but strong vocal style helped take the band from cult popularity to mainstream success with a string of hit singles, while she also opened the doors for other punk and new wave bands to find greater recognition. Harry was a strong, intelligent woman who achieved rock stardom when women were struggling to earn greater recognition in the music industry, winning fame on her own terms. And while Blondie's popularity would rise and fall over time, Harry enjoyed a successful and respected solo career and retained a high profile, working in a variety of different projects well into the 21st century.
