Not looking bad for 76

Well she wasn't 76 when that pic was taken! but yeah an incredible looking woman for her age nonetheless.

Saw Blondie at the Brighton Centre three or four years ago. Outstanding. She's very funny on stage too. Great gig.

I saw Blondie at the Isle of wight festival 10 years or so ago and she was shocking. Just stood there, no presence, no enthusiasm couldnt be arsed.

In fact I just googled to see when it was (2010) and the Guardian said this "At worst (Blondie), it was sad testament that Debbie Harry still has the new wave snarl, but no longer the vocal oomph."

She was an act I was keen to see and cross of my list but she was the worst there (and Ndubs were on the bill)

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Without doubt one of the most attractive women of all time.

Musically pretty damn good too.

 

[Klaas]

I'm amazed she's only a year younger than my mum

Well l think that very few artistes heading for eighty, are going to have anything like the vocal range that they once had. Paul McCartney, and Mick Jagger are just two of many examples. In fact the only one l can think of who has, is Tom Jones, and his voice has actually matured with age!

It all leads me to wonder, why on earth most of these old timers continue to tour, it certainly can't be for the money. Presumably it's the glamour and the adulation that they can't live without.

Or maybe they just love what they do.

Indeed.

And in some ways kudos to them for bein g prepared to play in much more modest venues, and to smaller audiences that they were used to in their heyday.

I'm a Quo fan, and saw them live many times back in the 80's and 90';s filling venues like the Hammersmith Odeon and Wembley Stadium, now forty years on, they have gigs lined up n such places as Guildford and Southend.

She looked good in '76.

brilliant band for 6 years or so until habits took over.

Ironically Paul McCartney was the main act that night at the Isle of Wight and he was superb, all the hits and Hey Jude went on for about 20 minutes!!!!

For those of us of a certain age, she will remain the fittest woman ever….

Only had two music posters on my wall as a teenager. Heaven Up Here cover, and Ms Harry.


Edit: - just remembered I also had Unknown Pleasures cover as well. I suppose heaven up here and unknown pleasures were quite fitting terms to be alongside her really!!

 

[Dorset Seagull]

Does anyone else remember the no holds barred pics she did for a top shelf magazine. Was a joy to behold for a lad

 

[jakarta]

There is (was) a famous photo of her sans undercarriage proving she had a nice (shaved) beaver...

Otherwise she would have been called Debbie Hairy?

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

Indeed top eye candy in my yoof - often referred to as Dirty Harry because me and my mates reckoned she was filth.
