Debbie Harry has sold over 50 million albums worldwide.

She was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame with fellow Blondie band members Chris Stein , Clem Burke , Gary Valentine , Jimmy Destri , Frank Infante , and Nigel Harrison .

She talks to Lisa Robinson about legacy, influence, drugs, and being propositioned by David Bowie .

David Bowie really exposed himself to you? Yes. I was such a smartass. He didn’t say “May I?” I was just being punk; I worked very hard at being punk. I wanted to be a beatnik. That’s why so many of us gravitated towards New York —we wanted to communicate with other like-minded, artistic people.

A new Blondie album is finished and coming out in the fall , and there’s a documentary and biopic coming out about you and the band.

Have you been able to have other romantic relationships? I’ve dated, dated, gone out with people for different lengths of time.
