DEBBIE HARRY PERFORMING AT CBGB's CLOSING BY GEORGE DUBOSE

Debbie Harry played a farewell gig at CBGBs on Saturday night, October 14, 2006. The Blondie star performed classic hits “Hanging On The Telephone,” “Call Me” and “Tide Is High." A cover of the Ramones’ “I Want To Be Your Boyfriend” was included in the set to rapturous applause. 

George DuBose shot the photo that would later become the cover for the B-52’s 1979 self-titled debut album. He captured Madonna during her first gig, created the cover art for the last nine Ramones albums and would go on to work with Tom Waits, REM, The Go-Go’s, Melissa Etheridge and Kid Creole and the Coconuts.

He captured icons in their infancy. DuBose was there, on the front lines, photographing artists who would influence decades of sound and style. His photographs evidence not only the beginning’s of such quintessential bands, but also the photographer who was there, unknowingly making legends of them both.

Now, House of Roulx is contributing in our own way by sharing DuBose’s works with both existing fans and an entirely new generation, so that they will also come to know the man who captured and help break the people who made music what it is today.
