In 1974, she co-founded Blondie, which quickly rose to prominence with their eclectic mix of punk, disco, and pop influences. Harry's distinctive voice, striking looks, and fearless stage presence catapulted her to international stardom. With hits like "Heart of Glass," "Call Me," and "Rapture," Blondie became one of the most successful bands of the late 1970s and early 1980s.
