Sure, "Denise, Denise," was an old 50's doo wop classic by Randy & The Rainbows, but great as they did it, let's face it, Randy didn't have legs like Debbie Harry

Actually, Debbie is not singing about a lesbian love affair with some gal named Denise. She, Chris Stein and the other members of Blondie recorded this at a gig in Paris, France. The French name for Dennis (masculine) is Denis, pronounced Denise. See?

Deborah Harry, born January 7, 1945, was adopted at about three months of age by Richard and Catherine Harry, she was raised in New Jersey.

Debbie spent most of her twenties working odd jobs as a secretary, cocktail waitress and Playboy bunny, while rubbing shoulders with the Warhol set.

In October 1973, Debbie Harry began both a musical and personal relationship with guitarist Chris Stein. Together,
Deborah Harry and Chris Stein formed Blondie. They worked in band showcase clubs in Lower Manhattan, such as CBGB's and Jersey's Mudd Clun

Harry's glamorous platinum blonde looks, keen wit and creative musical style propelled Blondie to mega stardom, and the group had several number one hits, including 'Call Me', 'The Tide is High', and 'Rapture'.

Dissension caused the group to split in 1984, and Harry�s solo career would never live up to the success of Blondie. Her first solo album 'Koo Koo', was both a critical and commercial failure, although it is a firm favorite with her legions of fans. Harry took four years off between the release of 'Koo Koo' and her second solo effort, 'Rockbird', to nurse a seriously ill Chris Stein. With "Rockbird," Debbie fared considerably better, scoring a number two hit in Britain and a number one hit in Australia, but the album failed to chart well in America.

In 1989, Harry returned with the seductive 'Def Dumb and Blonde'. Now recording under the name Deborah Harry, the album was an eclectic blend of musical genres. Produced by Mike Chapman (ex-Blondie producer), the album signaled a return to Deborah Harry's fundamentals. The UK hit single was 'I Want that Man', the album also charted well in the US, going platinum in Australia, and was followed by a world tour.

Debbie Harry has also been an actress, appearing in 'Union City' (1979), 'Videodrome' (1983) and 'Hairspray' (1986), amongst others. Since 1998 much of her time has been taken up touring and recording with the reformed Blondie.
