Kirsty Young's castaway is the singer Debbie Harry.
Her group Blondie started out in seedy New York bars and went on to achieve international success - selling tens of millions of albums along the way. She was ultra cool - a striking beauty with platinum hair and a sneer. Now aged 65, her trademark look continues to serve her well, she says: "As far as ageing goes it's rough - I try my best - I'm healthy and I exercise like a fiend. I'm glad that I've had all the radical experiences in my life - it suits me."
Record: Mahler's Symphony No.5 in C sharp Minor -4th movement
Producer: Leanne Buckle.
