Debbie Harry — In Love With Love 12″
Okay, this is only a 12″ single from “Rockbird,” but I’m featuring it anyway because it’s ready to go and the next entry isn’t. As with most 12″ extended dance mixes from the ’80s,...

Debbie Harry — Rockbird
So, after my disappointment in most things Blondie after “Parallel Lines,” and my extreme antipathy toward Deborah Harry’s 1981 solo outing “KooKoo,” I normally would have just been done – I tend to give...
