Deborah Harry

Deborah Harry In 1981 Harry released her solo debut Koo Koo, produced by Chic mainstays Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards. Despite the presence of Stein, the set failed to capture Blondie's sense of simple pop and the singer resumed her commitment to the parent act. Stein's recurrent ill-heath brought the group to an end and a further period of retirement ensued. Harry did pursue an acting career, including roles in Union City Blue, Videodrome and a memorable comic role in the 1987 John Water's film, Hairspray. In 1986 she released Rockbird which featured the UK Top 10 hit "French Kissing In The USA". It was not until three years later that Debbie made a return to the UK Top 20, this time with the Tom Bailey and Alannah Currie (aka the Thompson Twins) composition, "I Want That Man". The accompanying album, Def, Dumb And Blonde, credited to Deborah Harry, achieved a similar chart position, since when the singer has completed several tours, performing material drawn from Blondie and her subsequent work. Subsequent compilations were credited to and included, tracks from Harry's solo career and with Blondie. In the late 90s she appeared as a featured vocalist with the experimental Jazz Passengers, before appearing alongside Stein, Burke and Destri in a re-formed Blondie. ENTER HERE
