Life and early career
Harry is the daughter of Catherine and Richard Smith Harry, gift shop proprietors from
Hawthorne, New Jersey.
[1] She attended
Hawthorne High School, where she graduated in 1963.
[2] Prior to starting her singing career she moved to New York in the late 1960s and worked as a secretary at
BBC Radio's New York office for one year. Later, she was a waitress at
Max's Kansas City, and worked in a
Dunkin' Donuts, after which she was a dancer in
Union City, and a
Playboy Bunny.
[3]
She began her musical career with a
folk rock group,
The Wind in the Willows. Harry then joined a girl-group trio, The Stilettos, in the early 1970s. The Stilettos' backup band included her eventual boyfriend and Blondie guitarist,
Chris Stein. Harry and Stein formed the band Blondie in the mid-1970s, naming it for the
wolf whistle men often yelled at Harry from passing cars. Blondie quickly became regulars at
Max's Kansas City and
CBGB in
New York City.
[4] After a debut album in 1976, commercial success followed in the late 1970s to the early 1980s, first in
Australia and
Europe, then in the
United States.
While leading Blondie, Harry and Stein became life partners as well as musical partners, although they never married;
Harry has no children. In the mid-1980s, she took a few years off to nurse Stein back to health after he suffered a life-threatening disease. Stein and Harry broke up in the 1990s, but they have continued to work together.
Blondie
thumb
With her two-tone bleached-blonde hair, Harry quickly became a recognizable pop icon. Her look was further popularized by the band's early presence in the
music video revolution of the era. She was a continued regular at
Studio 54 and was associated with
Andy Warhol. In June 1979, Blondie graced the cover of
Rolling Stone
. Harry's stage persona of cool sexuality and streetwise style became so closely associated with the group's name that many came to believe the singer's name to be "Blondie". The difference between the individual Harry and the band Blondie was famously highlighted with a "Blondie is a Group" button campaign by the band in 1979.
[5] To complicate matters further, Harry sometimes described her character in the band as being named "Blondie", as in this quote from the
No Exit
tour book:
Through 1976 and 1977, Blondie released their first two albums to varying success outside the U.S. However, 1978's
Parallel Lines
(US #6, UK #1) shot the group to international success and included the smash hit single, "
Heart of Glass". The release of
Eat to the Beat
(US #12, UK #1) in 1979 and
Autoamerican
(US #7, UK #3) in 1980, continued the band's run of hits, including "
Atomic", "
The Tide Is High", "
Rapture" and the #1 single, "
Call Me" from the film soundtrack,
American Gigolo.
After a year long hiatus in 1981, during which Harry released her first solo album (see below), Blondie regrouped and released their sixth studio album
The Hunter
(US #33, UK #9), which featured the U.S. and UK hit single "
Island of Lost Souls" and the minor UK hit "
War Child". Blondie launched a
North American tour to support the release, but it was cut short when Stein fell ill with the rare
autoimmune disease,
pemphigus. Coupled with declining sales, the band split up.
Later in the 1980s, the
remix album
Once More Into The Bleach
was released, featuring remixes of tracks by Blondie and from Harry's solo career. The mid-1990s saw the release of further Blondie remix albums
Beautiful
in Europe and
Remixed Remade Remodeled
in the U.S. New mixes of "
Heart of Glass", "
Atomic" and "
Union City Blue" were released as singles and all made the UK Top 40, while remixes of "Atomic", "
Rapture" and "Heart of Glass" had major success on the U.S. dance charts.
In 1997, Blondie began working together again for the first time in 15 years. Two tracks were recorded with
TV Mania, the production trio of two
Duran Duran members,
Nick Rhodes and
Warren Cuccurullo, and producer
Anthony J. Resta. "Studio 54" and "Pop Trash Movie" were scheduled to be released on a Blondie compilation, entitled
This Is Blondie
. However, the project and the tracks were shelved as the four original members (Harry, Stein,
Clem Burke and
Jimmy Destri) embarked on sessions for what would become Blondie's seventh studio album. During this period, they released a cover of
Iggy Pop's "Ordinary Bummer" on the tribute album
We Will Fall
(1997).
After a final tour of Europe with
The Jazz Passengers in the summer of 1998, Deborah Harry resumed duties as lead vocalist of Blondie. Prior to the release of
No Exit
, the band completed a sold out tour of Europe. Dates at London's
Lyceum Theatre were recorded by the
BBC and aired on national
BBC Radio 1. A week prior to the release of
No Exit
, the lead single "
Maria" debuted at number one in the
UK, giving Blondie their sixth UK No.1 hit. "Maria" also reached #1 in 14 different countries, the top 10 on the U.S. Dance Charts and Top 15 on the U.S. Adult Top 40 Charts.
No Exit
debuted at No.3 in the UK and #17 in the U.S. and Blondie announced dates for a major arena tour that summer, during which they played the
Glastonbury Festival and
Party in the Park in
London. "
Nothing Is Real but the Girl" was another UK Top 30 hit, while the title track was released as a limited edition single to coincide with further arena dates in November of that year.
Harry entered the
Guinness World Book of Records in 1999 as the "Oldest Female Singer to Reach No. 1 in the UK Chart", when Blondie went to number one with "Maria" on February 13, 1999 at the age of 53 years and 227 days.
[7]
Tracks culled from dates throughout the 1999 world tour were released as a live album, titled
Live
in the U.S. and
Livid
in the UK and were released in late 1999 and early 2000, respectively. A
Blondie Live
companion DVD was also released, recorded at a show in New York City's
The Town Hall.
Although Blondie commenced recording tracks for the follow-up to
No Exit
in 2001, the sessions were besieged with problems including the loss of master tapes after the
9/11 terrorist attacks. In the winter of 2002, Blondie returned with a full scale UK tour. This preceded the release of a new single in 2003 entitled "
Good Boys" (a hit across the UK and Europe that autumn, and top 10 on the U.S. Dance Charts the following spring) and the release of Blondie's eighth studio album,
The Curse of Blondie
. The band toured throughout 2003 and 2004, completing two further full scale tours of the UK.
A second live album, entitled
Live By Request
, was released in 2005, along with a companion
DVD set. In that year, the band also released the mash-up "
Rapture Riders", which combined their 1981 hit "Rapture" with
The Doors' "
Riders on the Storm". This track was taken from a greatest hits compilation entitled
Sound and Vision
(first issued in the UK as
Sight + Sound
), released with a companion DVD disk and new mixes of "
In the Flesh" and "
Good Boys".
In the winter of 2005, Blondie toured the UK for the fourth time in as many years. In 2006, they were inducted into the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Around this time, Blondie released a new studio track, a cover of
Roxy Music's 1982 hit "
More Than This". This was to promote their "Road Rage" tour and the single was made available for free
download.
At the end of 2006, a new mix of "
Heart of Glass" became a club hit in Europe, while Harry released the single "New York New York", a collaboration with
Moby. The song debuted on
YouTube, some four weeks before its official release.
In the summer of 2007, Blondie toured in the UK once again. Around this time, Harry delineated the different personas (Blondie the band, her role in the band and Deborah Harry, the singer) in an interview which asked why she played only solo music on the 2007 True Colors Tour: "I've put together a new trio with no Blondie members in it - I really want to make a clear definition between Debbie's solo projects and Blondie - and I hope that the audience can appreciate that and also appreciate this other material."
[8]
On July 3, 2008, Blondie commenced a world tour to celebrate the 30th anniversary of
Parallel Lines
with a sell-out concert at the amphitheatre in
Ra'anana,
Israel. During the tour, drummer
Clem Burke stated that the tour had inspired the band to make another record.
[9] It will be their first new album since the release of
The Curse of Blondie
in 2003.
Blondie is also currently on tour with
Pat Benatar for the "
Call Me Invincible" tour. The majority of the shows will be opened by
The Donnas.
Solo albums
To date, Harry has released five solo albums. Harry began her solo career with the album
Koo Koo
in 1981. The album peaked at #28 in the US and #6 in the UK; it was later certified gold in the US and Silver in the UK. "
Backfired", the first single from the album, had a video directed by
H. R. Giger and climbed to #43 on the
Billboard Hot 100, #29 on the
Hot Dance Club Songs and #32 on the
UK Singles Chart. "
The Jam Was Moving" was lifted as the second single and peaked at #82 in the US.
In 1986, Harry released her second solo album
Rockbird
, which peaked at #97 in the US and #31 in the UK (where it has been certified Gold by the BPI). The single "
French Kissin' in the USA" gave Harry her only UK solo top 10 hit (#8) and became a moderate US hit. Other singles released from the album were "
Free to Fall" and "
In Love with Love" which hit #1 on the U.S. Dance Charts and was released with several remixes.
Her next solo venture was the album
Def, Dumb and Blonde
in 1989. At this point Harry reverted from "Debbie" to "Deborah" for her professional name. The first single "
I Want That Man" was a hit in Europe,
Australia, and on the U.S. Modern Rock Charts. The success of the single propelled the album to #12 on the UK charts. However, the US was less receptive and it peaked at #123. She followed this up with the ballad "
Brite Side" and the club hit "
Sweet and Low". "
Maybe for Sure", a track originally recorded by Blondie for the
Rock and Rule
animated film, was the fourth single released from the album in June 1990 to coincide with a UK tour (her second in six months). "
Kiss It Better" was also a Top 15 Modern Rock single in the U.S.
From 1989 to 1991, Harry toured extensively across the world with former Blondie guitarist Chris Stein,
Underworld's
Karl Hyde, and future Blondie bassist Leigh Foxx. In July 1991, she played
Wembley Stadium with
INXS. In 1991, Chrysalis released a "best of" compilation in Europe entitled
The Complete Picture: The Very Best of Deborah Harry and Blondie
, containing hits with Blondie as well as solo hits. The collection reached #3 in the UK album charts. The album also included her duet with
Iggy Pop on the
Cole Porter song "
Well, Did You Evah!" from the
Red Hot + Blue
AIDS charity album released at the end of 1990.
Harry's fourth solo album,
Debravation
, appeared in July 1993. The album's first single was "
I Can See Clearly", which peaked at #23 in the UK and #2 on the U.S. dance charts. This was followed by "
Strike Me Pink" in September. Controversy surrounded the latter track's promotional video which featured a man drowning in a water tank, resulting in it being banned. U.S. editions of the album feature two additional tracks recorded with pre-recorded music by
R.E.M.: "Tear Drops" and "My Last Date (With You)".
In November 1993, Harry toured the UK with Stein, Peter Min, Greta Brinkman and
James Murphy [disambiguation needed]. The set list of the Debravation Tour featured an offbeat selection of Harry material including the previously unreleased track "Close Your Eyes" (from 1989) and "Ordinary Bummer" (from the Stein- produced Iggy Pop album
Zombie Birdhouse
; a track which under the moniker "Adolph's Dog" Blondie would cover in 1997). Tentative plans to record these shows and release them as a double live CD never came to fruition. However, a cover of
The Rolling Stones' "
Wild Horses" is available as a bootleg. At the end of 1993, Chrysalis released the Blondie rarities collection
Blonde and Beyond
, which featured the previously unreleased tracks "Scenery" and "Underground Girl". In early 1994, Harry took the
Debravation
tour to the U.S.
In 2006, Harry started work in New York City on tracks for her fifth solo album
Necessary Evil
(2007). Working with production duo Super Buddha (who produced the remix of Blondie's "
In the Flesh" for the 2005
Sound and Vision
compilation) the first music to surface in was a
hip hop track entitled "Dirty and Deep" in which she spoke out against rapper
Lil' Kim's incarceration.
Throughout 2006, a number of new tracks surfaced on Harry's
MySpace page, including "Charm Alarm", "Deep End", "Love With Avengence", "School for Scandal" and "Necessary Evil", as well as duets she recorded with
Miss Guy (of
Toilet Böys fame). These were "God Save New York" and "New York Groove". A streaming version of the lead single, "
Two Times Blue", was added to Harry's My Space page in May 2007. On June 6, 2007, an
iTunes downloadable version was released via her official web site, .
Harry joined
Cyndi Lauper's
True Colors Tour for the
Human Rights Campaign. She is a strong advocate for
gay rights and
same-sex marriage. Though she has stated that she identifies as mostly
heterosexual, Harry has said she has had intimate relationships with both men and women.
[10] [11]
Necessary Evil
was released on
Eleven Seven Music after Harry completed both a solo tour of the US in June 2007 and a European tour with Blondie in July 2007. The first single, "
Two Times Blue", peaked at #5 on the US Dance Club Play chart. The album debuted at #86 in the UK and #37 in the US Billboard Top Independent Albums chart.
To promote the album, Harry appeared on various talk shows to perform "Two Times Blue". She also started a 22-date U.S. tour on November 8, lasting until December 9, playing small venues and clubs across the country. On January 18, 2008, an official music video for "
If I Had You" was released.
[12]
Other musical projects
In 1983 Harry teamed up with
Giorgio Moroder (with whom she had worked previously on Blondie's "Call Me") on the song "
Rush Rush", which was featured in the film
Scarface
(and later, the
Grand Theft Auto III
radio station "Flashback FM"). Harry's single "
Feel the Spin", produced by
John "Jellybean" Benitez, was released (as a 12" single only) in 1985. That song, along with the whole soundtrack to the film

, peaked at #5 on the U.S. Dance Charts. The song's "uno dos tres quatro" intro has been
sampled on a number of records, including
S'Express' "
Theme from S'Express".
