Blondie, American Bandstand, “Heart of Glass,” June 4, 1979. Their manager banned me shooting them. Debbie let me shoot during the dress rehearsal. I grabbed this quick shot before taping started. #Blondie #DebbieHarry #American Bandstand #JennyLens #PunkPioneersDotCom #PunkPioneers #PunkPioneersJennyLens #PunkPhotosForSale
Debbie Harry, Blondie’s LA Debut, Wearing thrift store wedding dress and veil. Prints beautifully! You can see veil netting and embroidery on sleeves. I literally stood right beneath Debbie, next to the Whisky stage. Whisky, Feb 1977. #Blondie #DebbieHarry #Whisky #JennyLens #PunkPioneersDotCom #PunkPioneers #PunkPioneersJennyLens #PunkPhotosForSale

I shot Blondie's LA Debut at the Whisky, Feb 1977. How one of my photos became a controversial cover image, used for decades in all kinds of media (usually without my permission, credit or payment) and how it negatively impacted my photo taking and life is a story I've told many times. I tell it in my Punk Pioneers Podcast…
Blondie debuted Feb, 1977, first on double bill with Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers (the TP on her gown), then with THE greatest punk double bill, with The Ramones! At the world famous Whisky. We danced at Debbie's feet and delighted at the whole band. They were very cool offstage too! Debbie wore a wedding gown, which she pulled off…
