ln the late 1970s, Blondie was the Iittle band that could. AIong with the Ramones, TeIevision, and Patti Smith, Blondie was one of the groups that helped define New York's embryonic punk/new wave scene at the Bowery rock club CBGB, and their edgy but playfuI power-pop sound took them to the top of the charts with such hits as "Heart of Glass," "Dreaming," and "One Way or Another" -- and made Deborah Harry the new music's first sex symbol. But personaI tensions within the band and a near-fatal iIlness for Ieader Chris Stein caused the band to split apart in 1982, untiI Harry and Stein decided to give BIondie another try in 1998. This documentary, produced for the VH1 series Behind the Music, examines the rise, faII, and resurrection of one of the defining bands of the new wave era, and incIudes interviews with members of the band, their friends and collaborators (incIuding Joey Ramone), and rare film footage of the band onstage at CBGB prior to the reIease of their first album. |
