| Debbie Harry promo of 'Backfired' in 1981. From the
album 'Koo Koo' (1981) produced
& co-written (Debbie Harry/Chris Stein) by Nile Rodgers & Bernard
Edwards of the CHIC Organization. This project can be seen as the first
evidence of Nile'n'Nards reputation beyond the disco/R&B community.
The album was a disappointment sales wise, but a great artistic achievement,
merging punk, pop and funk. Backfired was the first singles release and
it didn't fare well (Billboard charts: Pop#43, Black#71,
Disco/Club#29). The video graphics concurs with the
London Underground banned album cover done by Swiss artist HR Giger. |
