Deborah Ann Gibson (born 31 August 1970, Brooklyn, New York, USA) is an American singer-songwriter, record producer and actress who became the youngest person to write and perform a number-one song on the Billboard Hot 100. (The exact age is disputed: Gibson produced the song "Foolish Beat" in the spring of 1987, approximately one full year prior to its release as a single in April 1988 on Atlantic 89109; she had reached seventeen years seven months by 89109's release, seventeen years ten months when it took number one on the Hot 100.) Simultaneously one of Atlantic Records' best-selling artists of 1988-89 and the go-to girl of a Revlon cosmetics sales campaign aimed at her own teenager demographic at the time, this soubrette grew up into a competent all-around performer/author in concert and at the theatre. She explained her use of the handle "Debbie" during the Atlantic Years thusly in an interview posted in the Atlanta, Georgia-area publication Gay Atlanta (she always having used "Deborah" as a composer and producer, and since 1996 as a recording artist and performer):
"When I got my first record deal, they wanted to call me Debbie, so I went with it because I understood it from a business standpoint. But after a while it was strange calling myself something that wasn’t really my name...."[1]
A teetotaler, Gibson is not only still active in songwriting, record production, theatre, and film; she is an avid painter who has sold several works on eBay, the broker for the heavily-mirrored Baldwin grand piano (ex-Estate of Liberace) that holds a place of honor at her West Coast residence in the Hollywood, California area. [2] She has had a recent resurgence in popularity with respect to her best-selling songs from the Atlantic years, culminating in a Dean Parker musical she co-scored with Don Hopkinson.[3] Her most recent release (as of August 2007) is the song "Famous," co-written with and produced by Tiziano Lugli, apparently an online exclusive.[4]

[edit] Early life, 1970—1982
Born in Brooklyn, Gibson lived her wonder years in Merrick, Nassau County, NY. The third of four daughters to Joseph Gibson and Diane Pustizzi (which explains Deborah's 1/4-Italian genetics as granddaughter to Alberto Pustizzi[5]), she was a musical natural, composing "Make Sure You Know Your Classroom" at the age of six years. One of the first musical instruments she played was an ukulele; she transitioned to piano as she grew, maturing early under the tutelage of Nassau County-based keyboard-instruments instructor Morton Estrin.
In the late 1970's, Gibson sang with the Metropolitan Opera children's chorus.
During the early 1990's, Gibson summed up her pre-career situation of 1978-1982 (prior to Diane Pustizzi Gibson hiring Douglas Breitbart as manager) thusly in a Gary James interview:
"I literally knocked on doors myself. I can remember coming home from school, and my mom and I going through those industry papers and anything to do with music management, record companies, we'd be sitting there putting my picture, resume and demo in an envelope, and sending them off...."[6]

[edit] "I Come from America" to Atlantic Records contract, 1982—1986
In 1982, young Gibson used a rather unusual Confirmation gift—a Casio synthesizer, where most girls of her then-demographic request jewelry—to compose a song for a radio-station songwriting contest: "I Come from America," which she recorded the same day to meet a next-day deadline for submissions.[7] The song, as it turns out, won young Gibson a $1000.00 prize, courtesy Radio Station WOR, who sponsored the New York PTA-administered trials, and the right to represent New York State in the National PTA songwriting finals.[8]
Later the same year, Diane Pustizzi Gibson hired New York City music expert Douglas Breitbart as young Gibson's manager; Breitbart would be the eventual executive producer for her first two albums. The next four years would be occupied with training and further songwriting in anticipation of a recording contract; Gibson wrote at least half the songs that would be recorded for the eventual Atlantic LP 81780 during this time—from actual dates of publication, "Only in My Dreams" in 1984; "Play the Field" in 1985; and "Foolish Beat," "Red Hot" and "Fallen Angel" in 1986.[9] (Although officially published in 1987, rumors exist that "Shake Your Love" and at least one other song on LP 81780 were actually composed 1986 or sooner.)
In 1984, Gibson landed a "walk-on" role for the Columbia Pictures feature film Ghostbusters: the Birthday Girl at Tavern on the Green.
The first record company to take notice of Gibson was Warner Communications subsidiary Atlantic Recording Corporation; at the time, Doug Morris (CEO of Universal Music Group from November 1995) was president under founder and chairman Ahmet Ertegün, with Larry Yasgar as A&R officer.
[edit] The Atlantic Years, 1986—1994

In 1986, Atlantic signed Gibson for a maxi single. "Only in My Dreams," produced by Fred Zarr and engineered by Don Feinberg for BiZarr Music, Inc., and mixed by "Little" Louie Vega, was released as a maxi single (Atlantic DM 86744) December 1986, and in remixed form as a radio single (Atlantic 89322) February 1987. With "Dreams" slow to catch on at both dance clubs and radio stations, Atlantic executives ordered a promotional tour; Zarr stepped up to the plate and produced two additional tracks for the resultant Dream Tour: "Shake Your Love," an eventual single, and "Fallen Angel." Wanting at least one ballad for the Dream Tour, Gibson produced "Foolish Beat," another eventual single, herself. (All four became tracks for the eventual LP 81780.)
The teen-tabloid press of the day, especially Laufer Publications magazines TiGER beat and BOP, immediately pitted Gibson against then-MCA recording artist Tiffany Renee Darwish (recording artist for 10 Spot Records, distributed by Water Music Records (Universal Music Group subsidiary label) as of June 2007), whose own debut album beat the Dream Tour out of the starting block by a month. As Darwish was touring the shopping centers their demographic frequented after school (for further info on "The Beautiful You: Celebrating The Good Life Shopping Mall Tour '87" see Tiffany (singer)#Recording contract and fame), Gibson was performing in nightclubs and bars, many of which catered to the 21-and-over crowd. Billboard Magazine records indicate that both strategies worked.
By July 1987, Atlantic executives were demanding an album, based on the success of "Only in My Dreams," so Breitbart got studio time for Gibson with not only Zarr ("Wake Up to Love," "Out of the Blue," "Staying Together"), but also John Morales and Sergio Munzibai ("Red Hot," "Between the Lines") in New York and Lewis A. Martineé ("Play the Field," the arrangement whereof parallels Martineé's work with Exposé, a dance-pop girl group of the day) in Florida. "Shake Your Love," already in hand, was released to dance clubs and radio stations (Atlantic DM 86651 and single 89187, respectively) as the leadoff single to the new LP 81780, now officially titled Out of the Blue. "Shake Your Love" and "Only in My Dreams" also appeared on the Atlantic Japan/Warner-Pioneer soundtrack album a·ki·re·ta–DEKA (あきれた刑事?) - Original Soundtrack (Atlantic Japan LP 32XD-901); "Red Hot" also appeared on the Atlantic soundtrack album Fatal Beauty - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (LP 81809).
In 1988, Revlon Consumer Products Corporation had signed Gibson as a spokeswoman for its Natural Wonder Cosmetics subsidiary. Natural Wonder sponsored the Out of the Blue Tour, which ran during the summer of 1988.
In November-December 1988, Gibson recorded a follow-up album, eventually released February 1989 under the title Electric Youth (Atlantic LP 81932) on the heels of leadoff single "Lost in Your Eyes" (single 88970); "Eyes" would eventually hold #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks during March 1989, and Youth #1 on the Billboard Hot Albums for five in March-April. Gibson also designed a fragrance, manufactured by Revlon and marketed under the title "Electric Youth by Debbie Gibson" by Natural Wonder, which would also sponsor the Electric Youth World Tour during the summer and autumn of 1989.
In 1990, Gibson recorded Anything Is Possible (Atlantic LP 82167), which stalled at #41 on the Billboard Hot Albums.
In 1992, Gibson recorded Body Mind Soul (Atlantic LP 82451), which stalled at #109 on the Billboard Hot 200. Gibson also landed the role of Eponine in the Best of Broadway production of Les Misérables.
Atlantic released a compilation album, Greatest Hits (LP 82624), in 1995.
Side projects during this era included a memoir co-written with Mark Bego, Between the Lines (Diamond Books, 1989); two tracks for the soundtrack album The Wonder Years - Music from the Emmy Award-Winning Show and its Era (Atlantic LP 82032); a live-performed song for the Earth '90: Children and the Environment telecast, "Whose World Is It?" (unreleased); and two singles for Pioneer Records of Japan, "Without You" b/w "Without You (Instrumental)" (CD3 #AMDY-5034) and "Eyes of the Child" b/w "Love or Money" (CD3 #AMDY-5106).
In addition to her own side projects, Gibson participated on a maxi single for a Japanese pop singer-songwriter, "Reimy - Speed of Light" (A&M 12268), simultaneously a track for the Japanese TV series soundtrack album a·ki·re·ta–DEKA (あきれた刑事?) — Original Soundtrack (Atlantic Japan / Warner-Pioneer LP #32XD-901); a track from the Epic Records album Michael Jackson - Bad (EK 40600), spec. "Liberian Girl"; a debut album for another singer-songwriter, Chris Cuevas - Somehow, Someway (Atlantic LP 82187) and two related singles; the Parc/Epic album Ana - Body Language (Epic ZT 45355); the Hollywood Records album The Party (HR 60980); and the David Foster-produced Giant all-star single "Voices That Care" (Giant single 19350).
[edit] SBK, Jellybean, Espiritu, Golden Egg, Fynsworth Alley and OarFin, 1994—2006
In 1994, Gibson signed with EMI for an album that would eventually be distributed by its SBK Records subsidiary: Think with Your Heart (SBK/EMI LP 32559). One album track from this project, "Don'tcha Want Me Now?", got TV airplay on a situation comedy on which she had guest-starred in the role of a pop star by the name of Christie Rose: Step by Step: Roadie. Gibson also landed roles in two interpretations of the Stephen Sondheim musical Grease: Sandra Dee at London's West End (1993-1994) and Rizzo in a touring production in the United States (1995-1996).
In 1996, after concluding her EMI obligations, Gibson started up a record distribution division, Espiritu Records, within the GMI Entertainment corporate structure, in addition to signing for two maxi singles with Jellybean Recordings, and recorded her sixth studio album, simply titled Deborah (LP 9602). (The Japan counterpart album, identically tracked and distributed by Sony Music Entertainment Japan, is titled Moonchild.) Promotion included a talk-show circuit to perform "Only Words" (Jellybean Recordings DM 2524), a maxi single coordinated with Espiritu LP 9602. Later the same year, Gibson also played Fanny Bryce in a touring production of Funny Girl.
In 1998, Gibson released a complete rework of her first Atlantic song as a stand-alone maxi single: "Only in My Dreams 1998" (Jellybean Recordings DM 2532). She also landed the title role (viz., Gypsy Rose Lee) in the Paper Mill Playhouse production of Gypsy: A Musical Fable; the production was cancelled mid-run on account of a legal dispute between the Producers and the Copyright Administrator for the script.
In 1999, Gibson landed the Narrator in Best of Broadway's Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat for 1999-2000; and the title role in the Rodgers and Hammerstein interpretation of Cinderella, a setting to music of the Giambattista Basile-Charles Perrault version, for 2000-2001.[10]
In 2001, the Espiritu label had been retired after a last single was delivered, viz., "What You Want" (Espiritu 8317), and replaced by the Golden Egg Records label. First project released by Golden Egg was the album M.Y.O.B. (Golden Egg LP 1234), accompanied by the maxi single "Your Secret" (Golden Egg DM 1146). Unfortunately, Golden Egg collapsed before a follow-on single to "Your Secret" could be completed.
In 2002, Gibson recorded an album for Fynsworth Alley Pty. Ltd. based on her music theatre experience, including one song from her original musical Skirts (then under construction at script level): Colored Lights: The Broadway Album (Fynsworth Alley LP 302 062 195). Thereafter, she performed two musical roles for Reprise! Broadway, in addition to a stint as Velma Kelly in a Boston-based performance of Chicago: Meg in Lerner and Loewe's Brigadoon; Marta in Company; plus Nellie in the Fresno Grand Opera production of Rodgers and Hammerstein's South Pacific.
In 2003, given the runaway success of the FOX Television talent-show series American Idol, FOX launched a spinoff show, American Juniors, casting Gibson, Gladys Knight and Jordan Knight as principal judges. Juniors was cancelled after one season.
In 2005, in sync with the Playboy Magazine Sex and Music Issue, Gibson released another stand-alone single, this time on Minneapolis, Minnesota-based OarFin Records: "Naked" (OarFin #869840016); fan reaction was split over this single and the Playboy spread. She also landed Sally Bowles in the Rob Marshall-Sam Mendez production of Cabaret, and released two compilation albums of demos stretching all the way back to the Atlantic years: Memory Lane, Volume 1 in January, and Memory Lane, Volume 2 in October (accurate distributor data pending).
In January-February 2006, Gibson was featured on the FOX Television reality mini-series Skating with Celebrities, along with Olympic Gold Medalist skater Kurt Browning; she was nursing a leg injury at the time, so the third week vote-out was predictable to industry analysts. Since then, she has seen a resurgence in popularity in niche markets.
Gibson's other-artists projects included a backing-vocals session for the Circle Jerks at the request of Think With Your Heart producer Niko Bolas; a song for the Japanese pop group w-inds.; the all-star benefit single "We Are Family" (Tommy Boy TBCD-2331, released October 23, 2001); the track "Light the World" on Peabo Bryson's album Unconditional Love (Windham Hill #01005-82169); "Someone You Love", co-written with Tim and Ryan O'Neill for the O'Neill Brothers album of the same title (private label); a new version of "Lost in Your Eyes" recorded for the same album; and "Say Goodbye," a duet with Jordan Knight for Knight's solo album Love Songs (originally Trans Continental Records TC-1-003; new distributor data pending in wake of State of Florida, Office of Financial Regulation v. Trans Continental Airlines, Inc., et al., Case No. 48-2006-CA-011136, and United States v. Louis Jay Pearlman, Case No. 6:07-cr).

Multiple reports also exist of Gibson seriously dating certain other musicians who were co-workers at various times during her career with GMI Entertainment.
As a philanthropist, Gibson founded a charity in memoriam of her maternal grandfather: the Alberto Pustizzi Alzheimer's Foundation; she also supports the T. J. Martell Foundation, Make A Wish, Pediatric AIDS, and others. [22]
[edit] Tributes
Some notable music groups have done original tribute songs to Gibson.
In 1990, Finn hip hop band Raptori composed an original rap in her honor: "Debi Gibson," originally for their Megamania Records album Moe! (Megamania MGM 2031) and remixed soon afterward as a maxi single (MGX 173).
[edit] Adverse treatment in the media
Gibson has been the subject of adverse views at various times in her career.
Sometime in the early 1980's, Bill Hicks had derided Gibson on a then-unpublished form of the eventual "Shake Your Love" in the Sane Man comedy show.[citation needed]
In 1989, Neill Kirby McMillan Jr. (alias Mojo Nixon) and Richard Banke (alias Skid Roper) slandered Gibson in song with a single whereover almost the entire radio industry closed ranks with MTV Music Television: "Debbie Gibson Is Pregnant With My Two-Headed Love Child," released by Enigma Records allegedly in support of the album Root Hog or Die (Enigma LP 792 335).[23] MTV refused to run the video for this song; pop radio likewise refused to air the single.
Gibson was mentioned in passing on "When the Beatles Hit America," a song performed by Wesley Stace (alias John Wesley Harding) (Sire LP 26240 Just Say Da).
[edit] As subject of the obsessions of others
In the mid-1980's, Gibson was a planned target for Robert John Bardo (since found guilty of the 1989 murder of Rebecca Schaeffer and sentenced to life without parole at Mule Creek State Prison, California).
In 1989, Charles Michael Kittridge Thompson IV (alias Black Francis) of then-4AD recording artists the Pixies wrote a song describing fellow Pixie David Lovering's infatuation over (obsession with?) Gibson: "Make Believe," originally B-side to "Velouria" (released as a single July 16, 1990) and later included in the album Complete 'B' Sides (LP 2103).
As of 07:03, April 16, 2008 (UTC), the Associated Press reports that Gibson is petitioning for an injunction against an overzealous fan.[24]

In the post-Atlantic Years pop music world, the situation among prospective teen music stars has changed dramatically. Gibson's first beneficiary in the music market was in fact Gibson's successor as the Atlantic Records point teen princess: Jewel Kilcher (newly-signed Valory/Big Machine recording artist as of November 2007), who was signed to Atlantic while in the San Diego, California area—her debut album, Pieces of You (Atlantic LP 82700), released in 1995, came on the heels of Greatest Hits (LP 82624). Over the following several years, both Zomba Label Group and Walt Disney Records released hit albums from multiple teen artists, a current trend. As of March 2008, the current most-notable beneficiary of Gibson's efforts is Destiny Hope "Miley" Cyrus, a singer-songwriter-actress who plays the title role in the ongoing Disney TV series Hannah Montana—Walt Disney Records also released her debut album as a solo artist, Meet Miley Cyrus, and Walt Disney Pictures presented, during February 2008, the live-filmed motion picture Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert.
Among the artists that cite Gibson as a major influence are the following:
Sharyl McLauchlin Rains, singer-songwriter-actress, Edmonton, AB, CAN.[25][26]
Roxie Mae, singer, Indianapolis, IN, USA,[27] who maintains an Official Website at RoxieMae.com.
