The Deborah Harry song catalog you find on this page was compiled by me, the webmaster, with the help of my personal record collection, booklets, biographies, setlists, ASCAP, the LoC (Library of Congress), articles and (live) bootlegs. It's my goal to create a page which features Deborah's complete musical body of work, no matter if Deborah was in any way musically involved herself or whether she contributed her own lyrics to a project. In order to keep up the standard of this page and to make it grow you can help by submitting song titles and/or information which are missing on this site. Every contribution is greatly appreciated. Official song lyrics were taken from booklets. I transcribed those songs myself where no official lyrics were available (with no guarantee for their accuracy). I apologize for possible errors and will gladly take corrections. I kindly ask you not to copy any of these lyrics from this page.
All song pages include links to the albums, singles and/or live albums which they were released on. Best Ofs and soundtracks were only listed if there is a special mix available on the record or the song title itself was previously unreleased.

COMMENTS

Current entry:

Autoamerican

The most versatile entry; handles well on all tracks, on R&B surfaces as well as success on a reggae track. The entry handles really well on these new modern turnpikes, which are a must for maximum enjoyment, appreciation and satisfaction.

Relevant data:

The Autoamerican cover was taken from an original oil painting by noted New York artist Martin Hoffman, who was commissioned by Blondie members Chris Stein and Deborah Harry.

During the recording of Autoamerican, the B-Girls who were in town to play at the Whiskey, dropped by the studio to help on background vocals.
Note: Deborah Harry has expressed interest in producing the band.
