I Want That Man is a hit single released in 1989 by Deborah Harry - her first solo single to be released using her Christian name Deborah instead of 'Debbie'. The track was written and produced by former Thompson Twins members, Alannah Currie and Tom Bailey. It was one of the most successful singles released during Harry's solo career, peaking at number two in Australia, number 13 in the United Kingdom, and number two on the Billboard Magazine "Modern Rock Chart" in the United States. The video was directed by Mary Lambert. This song was used in the Australian Film Strange Bedfellows in a disco version. The tune was also used in 20 to 01 Sexy People to commemorate Sean Connery as number one for most sexiest person. In late 1999 the song was included on the EMI compilation Most of All - The Best of Deborah Harry and also re-issued as a remix single.
