Her second single, “We Can’t Be Friends” also went to number 1 on Billboard's singles chart and sold over 500,000 copies. “Things Just Ain’t The Same” and “It’s Over Now” followed. 

Deborah has sung with Andrea Bocelli and toured with David Foster, Cyndi Lauper and Sarah McLachlan. She was also invited to perform for First Lady Michelle Obama and President Obama. In 2000, Deborah collaborated with Whitney Houston to record the duet “Same Script Different Cast” for her "Greatest Hits" CD.

In 2003, her fourth album, "Remixed", was released, featuring her Billboard magazine chart-topping dance remixes. In 2008, she released her sixth studio album, "The Promise", which earned her a tenth number 1 spot on the Billboard Dance Chart with the international hit single “Beautiful U R”. In 2012, Deborah garnered her eleventh number 1 Billboard Dance single with “If It Wasn’t For Love".

In addition to roles in both film and television, Deborah also released her fifth album by Universal, named "Destination Moon" -  a Grammy-nominated tribute album to the legendary Dinah Washington, in 2007. That same year she received The Civil Rights Award from the New York Senate for her efforts in the fight for Human Rights and Equality. Behind the scenes, Deborah has recorded singles for several film soundtracks, including AKEELAH AND THE BEE, HOTEL RWANDA, KINGDOM COME, MONEY TALKS, A GOOD MAN IS HARD TO FIND and Tyler Perry’s MEET THE BROWNS.
