Debbie Harry and Blondie: Picture This (Hardback)
Mick Rock (author,photographer), Debbie Harry (foreword)Published: 26/09/2019
Blondie were the most successful rock act to emerge from New York's seminal and anarchic downtown punk scene of the mid-70s. Their beautiful and multi-talented lead singer, Debbie Harry, became the most photogenic and photographed rock performer of all time. Picture This is a startling and energetic record of the band that spawned power pop at the peak of their success. It explores in depth, both visually and verbally, the unique natural charm and charisma of Debbie's Punk Marilyn Monroe persona in its prime, and her successful reinvention of that persona for Blondie's glorious comeback of recent years.
Mick Rock provides a vivid, memorable account of his larger-than-life adventures behind the camera. Revealing, like no other book, just what made Debbie Harry and Blondie so distinctive, this book is a delight for any fan of rock culture imagery, and an exciting tribute to America's pre-eminent pop/punk band.
