In 1980, Blondie’s Debbie Harry was a guest on The Muppet Show, and she and Kermit the Frog performed a lovely duet of The Rainbow Connection, which was written by Paul Williams and Kenneth Ascher. The song was written specifically for Kermit the Frog to sing it in 1979’s The Muppet Movie, and it actually reached number 25 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in November 1979.
