Deborah Ann Harry (born July 1, 1945, in Miami, Florida) is an American rock and roll musician from New Jersey. She originally gained fame as the frontwoman for the new wave band Blondie. Following this success, she went on to develop careers as a solo musician and an actress.

Life and career
Harry was adopted at three months of age by a family from Hawthorne, New Jersey and attended Hawthorne High School. Prior to starting her singing career she moved to New York in the late 60's and worked as a secretary at the BBC Radio New York office for one year. Later, she was a waitress, a dancer in a bar in Union City, and a Playboy Bunny.[1]

She began her musical career with the 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 after the catcalls men would give Harry while passing by in their cars. Blondie quickly became regulars at Max's Kansas City and CBGB's in New York City. After a debut album in 1976, commercial success followed in the late 1970s and early 1980s, first in Australia and Europe, then in the United States.

With her two-tone bottle-blonde hair, Debbie Harry quickly became a recognizable icon of punk style. Her look was further popularized by the band's early presence in the music video revolution of the era. The clip for "Rapture" appeared within the first 24 hours of MTV's launch. Harry's strong 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" to her lasting chagrin.[citation needed] To complicate matters further, Harry has sometimes described "Blondie" as being the character she plays onstage with the band as well as the band's name.[citation needed] 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[2].

Harry began her solo career with the album Koo Koo in 1981 (see 1981 in music). In April 1983, she appeared on Broadway with Andy Kaufman in the wrestling play Teaneck Tanzi (originally called Trafford Tanzi), which opened and closed in one night. She also teamed up with Giorgio Moroder that year on the song "Rush Rush", which was featured in the film Scarface. During 1983 through 1986, Harry minimized her public life in order to care for Chris Stein, who had fallen ill with the rare genetic disease pemphigus. Her single Feel the Spin, produced by John "Jellybean" Benitez, was released in 1985. Stein fully recovered and continues a musical relationship with Harry, but their romantic relationship ended in 1987. In 1986 Debbie released her second solo album "Rockbird" and the single "French Kissin' in the USA" brought her into the UK top 10 singles chart. Other singles followed but failed to crack the top forty. Her last solo album Debravation (1993) flopped and she was dropped by her record label shortly after. Harry claims to be mostly heterosexual, but she has attested to intimate relationships with both men and women.[1] [2]

Starting with the solo album Def, Dumb and Blonde in 1989, Harry started using "Deborah Harry" as her professional name. On February 23, 1999, at the age of 53, Harry became the oldest female singer to reach No. 1 in the UK with "Maria", (Blondie's first single from the album No Exit), a record she still holds.

Harry currently resides in New York City.

Jimmy Destri plays keyboards in the rock group Blondie. He stopped touring with the band in 2004 but as of 2006 is still an official member. He released a solo album, Heart On A Wall, in 1981.

After the band's temporary break-up in 1982, Destri ran a company that bought, renovated, and sold old buildings. He also produced records and remixed material for artists like Prince and INXS. [1] He and the rest of the band reunited in 1997.

Destri composed several songs for Blondie, including "Atomic" (along with Debbie Harry), "Maria" and "Nothing Is Real but the Girl".
