The Blonde from Blondie: Everything You Need to Know About Debbie Harry

Musical DNA

Very little information is out there about Harry’s biological mother. We know that she was a concert pianist, but that’s basically it. It looks like her daughter inherited that musical gene. Although not much is known about her mother, we do know a little bit about the singer’s biological father.

As you can imagine, Harry’s father had some dark reasons for putting his daughter up for adoption. First of all, he was already a married man with a family of his own. Clearly, she is better off without him; no one deserves to grow up with a liar and a cheater. When Harry was four years old, her parents told her she was adopted. Apparently, her birth name was Angela Trimble.
