Most of All: The Best of Deborah Harry is a compilation album of recordings by Deborah Harry, released by Chrysalis Records in 1999.

Contents

The compilation gathers material from Harry's four solo albums for the Chrysalis label, KooKoo , Rockbird , Def, Dumb & Blonde , and Debravation ; and unlike 1998's Deborah Harry Collection , it contains most of the singles issued between the years 1981 and 1993, including Harry's biggest solo hits "French Kissin' in the USA" and "I Want That Man". Most of All also includes non-album singles such as "Rush Rush", "Feel the Spin", and her 1990 duet with Iggy Pop, "Well, Did You Evah!", as well alternative single mixes not available on the regular studio albums.

EMI issued remixed dance versions of Harry's 1989 hit "I Want That Man" to promote the album, with the updated mixes by D-Bop and Almighty. Most Of All concludes with two of these mixes.
