Bebe Buell adored Stiv Bators from The Dead Boys. I took these photos of the dynamic duo at a Blondie party held at Fiorucci in Beverly Hills around 1980. I have not seen Bebe in decades and the last time I saw Stiv was in Paris a couple of weeks before he was hit by the car.
Blondie played some amazing sets at The Whiskey A Go Go back in the seventies and I was there with my Nikon FE-2 snapping away. I was not crazy about taking onstage photos, but this was a special moment.
It was 1978 when I took this photo of Debbie Harry of Blondie backstage at The Whiskey A Go Go. Oh, life was so easy back then when it came to photographing an icon!
