FACE IT

Debbie Harry is best known for her vocal work as a singer, but here the musician becomes a narrator to regale us with stories of her unique life as the lead female singer of Blondie in the mid-to-late 1970s. Fans of the group will be delighted that this book is punctuated with cameos by her band members Clem Burke and Gary Valentine, who pepper the drug-filled escapades with their gruff sense of humor. Listeners who grew up listening to punk music will be riveted by this tell-all behind-the-scenes romp of Harry's colorful life. She holds nothing back as she shares with frank honesty the toll of fame, drugs, and financial ruin. M.R. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine [Published: DECEMBER 2019]
