Debbie Jacobs Rock, a radiance of vibrant personality, beauty, as well as charm, has sustained her ongoing singing career through the club scene. Debbie is considered a classic disco diva throughout the United States and Europe.
A native of Baltimore, Maryland, Debbie started singing in church. In 1979 “Undercover Lover” Debbie’s debut single gave MCA Records a top 5 national dance market hit. This single became one of the most influential sounds of the year. “Undercover Lover” also became the title of her first LP with chart-breaking hits of “Don’t You Want My Love”, “Hot Hot” and “All The Way”.Debbie was one of the few at that time to have four singles released off one LP and be successful. Debbie’s second MCA album “High On Your Love” rode the charts for numerous weeks at number one. With Debbie’s showcasing her awesomely energized vocal ability the result was a state-of-the-art album that still captivates both rockers and dancers alike.
Debbie’s insightful producing ability has given her an opportunity to work on and complete projects that she uses for her live performances. Debbie uses her wide range of vocalization on her original remix of the “Forever Medley” which features the Weather Girls on background vocals. Also, Debbie remixed her first version of “Maybe This Time” which is extremely popular with her live audiences leaving them wanting more.
In 2000, Debbie teamed up with Rosabel and Tommy Boy Silver and remixed “Don’t You Want My Love” which became number one on Billboard’s Club Play Hits chart. Debbie became Tommy Boys records’ first African American female ever to have a number one dance single in America.
