When Blondie first exploded onto the music scene with their debut UK hit Denis, they were an immediate sensation and instantly embraced by the British record-buying public. Debbie Harry’s inimitable cool and the band’s pioneering new wave, New York sound made them one of the most significant bands of the era – and gave them an impressive six number one singles.
With them every step of the way have been the BBC’s biggest music shows, and this programme takes a trip through the archives to sample the best of Blondie over the years, with appearances from the late 1970s up to recent times and performances confirming the enduring strength of songs like Call Me, Atomic, Picture This, Rapture and The Tide Is High.
3 appearances have had to be removed due to copyrights blocking the whole show. More details below.
