Blondie was an American rock group known for mashing up genres of music, including avant-garde, reggae, and hip-hop, into the new wave sound of the '70s and '80s. The band played around New York punk clubs such as CBGB, alongside acts like the Talking Heads and Television. The group’s image was always defined by the lead singer, bleach blonde Debbie Harry, and her streetwise vocal delivery and sexually charged persona.
