Blondie formed in New York City in 1974.  The group was the most commercially successful band to emerge from the much-vaunted punk/new wave movement of the late ’70s.  Blondie broke commercially in the U.K. in March 1978, when their cover of Randy and The Raiinbows’1963 hit “Denise,” renamed “Denis,” became a Top Ten hit, as did Plastic Letters, followed by a second U.K. Top Ten, “(I’m Always Touched By Your) Presence, Dear.” Blondie turned to U.K. producer/songwriter Mike Chapman for their third album, Parallel Lines, which was released in September 1978 and eventually broke them worldwide. “Picture This” became a U.K. Top 40 hit, and “Hanging on the Telephone” made the U.K. Top Ten, but it was the album’s third single, the disco-influenced “Heart of Glass,” that took Blondie to number one in both the U.K. and the U.S.  Where was Blondie singer Deborah Harry born?
