Posted by Louis A Bustamante at 7/18/2008 01:55:00 PM
"Thirty years ago, Blondie were catapulted to fame with the release of two albums - Plastic Letters and Parallel Lines - which spawned career-defining hits like Heart of Glass, Denis, and Hanging On The Telephone. The US band split up in 1982, but made a triumphant return in 1999 with UK number one hit Maria, giving them chart toppers in three decades. Fronted by the effortlessly cool Debbie Harry, Blondie are marking their anniversary with a string of gigs and festival dates. The 63-year-old singer discusses the changing face of pop - and discloses the secret of long life in the music business."
