Deborah Ann "Debbie" Harry (born July 1, 1945) is an American singer-songwriter and actress, best known for being the lead singer of the punk rock and new wave band Blondie. She has also had success as a solo artist, and in the mid-1990s she performed and recorded as part of The Jazz Passengers. Her acting career spans over thirty film roles and numerous television appearances.
Harry was born in Miami, Florida, and adopted by Catherine Harry and Richard Smith, gift shop proprietors in Hawthorne, New Jersey. She attended Hawthorne High School, where she graduated in 1963. She graduated from Centenary College in Hackettstown, New Jersey, with an Associate of Arts degree in 1965.[citation needed] Before starting her singing career she moved to New York City in the late 1960s and worked as a secretary at BBC Radio's office there for one year. Later, she was a waitress at Max's Kansas City, a go-go dancer in Union City, New Jersey, discothèque,[citation needed] and a Playboy Bunny.
Deborah Harry began her musical career in the late '60s with the folk rock group The Wind in the Willows, that recorded one album for Capitol Records. Harry then joined The Stilettos, with Elda Gentile and Amanda Jones, in 1974. The Stilettos included her eventual boyfriend and Blondie guitarist Chris Stein. When Harry and Stein left the Stilettos, they formed Angel and the Snake, with Tish and Snooky Bellomo. Shortly thereafter, Harry and Stein formed Blondie, naming it for the term of address men often yelled at Harry when she bleached her hair. Blondie quickly became regulars at Max's Kansas City and CBGB in New York City. 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.

Plot: CBGB follows the story of Hilly Kristal's New York club from its conceit as a venue for Country, Bluegrass and Blues (CBGB) to what it ultimately became: the birthplace of underground rock 'n roll and punk. When Kristal had difficulty booking country bands in his club on the Bowery he opened his doors to other kinds of rock music. Kristal had one demand of the acts he booked; they could only play original music. No top 40's, no covers. It was the credo he lived by, support the artist at whatever the cost. Hilly Kristal ironically became known as the godfather of punk giving a chance to such bands as Blondie, Television, Ramones, Talking Heads, Dead Boys and The Police.
Genres: Drama, Music,When you tell me that I'm a double timer
Well to me this doesn't add up
You can call me Miss Calculation
But I can't give up
I love you through and through
Well maybe I could've been better
Yeah, maybe I've been kind of bad
But I know, oh yes I know
You'll be two times blue if I go
I know, oh yes I know
You'll be two times blue if I go
So can you tell me, how do you measure
How the bittersweet takes over your mouth
And when the taste is too hard to swallow
Well that's what the sugar's all about
So how can we get back to basics
Before I go down for the count
Because I know, oh yes I know
You'll be two times blue if I go
I know, oh yes I know
You'll be two times blue if I go
You break it, you buy it
You kiss it, you keep it
First you try it, then you leave it
You break it, you buy it
You kiss it, you need it
First you try it, then you need it
I know, oh yes I know
You'll be two times blue if I go
I know, oh yes I know
You'll be two times blue if I go
I know, oh yes I know
You'll be two times blue if I go
I know, oh yes I know
You'll be two times blue if I go
