Blondie

New York
1979

This session took place at New York’s Chelsea Hotel. They were a quintessential New York group and a part of the Chelsea’s distinctive milieu. Debbie Harry arrived late in a funk but ultimately, we ended up perched on a balcony. The band, someone to hold the light, my assistant and myself, all on this tiny balcony. The Chelsea was already very old and I was terrified the entire structure would come down. Despite the rocky beginning, Debbie rose to the occasion and we wound up working harmoniously together.
