BLONDIE aka DEBBIE HARRY


Remember the Disco new wave smash hit "HEART OF GLASS" ? Debbie Harry the former high fashion model turned Disco Diva started the whole shift in dance music. Her music and image were completely unlike the R&B flavored Disco thumpers that artists like Gloria Gayner, Cher, Donna Summer, Sisters Sledge we cranking out during the height of the often derided Disco craze of the late 1970's. This portrait by DAVID LLOYD GLOVER is from a photo shoot with Debbie as a model. Long flowing blonde hair with a jean jacket draped over shoulder was completely different from her in your face white blonde Disco doll face. Maybe you hated that kind of music but you can't deny her influence for both sound and imagery. This original painting on canvas is available for viewing at ART BRILLANT GALLERY 428 Rodeo Drive, Beverly Hills CA.
