At the time the tracks charted some thought it was recorded by Donna Summer because they thought that "Harmony" sounded like Summers' 1977 hit "I Feel Love." That confusion alone may have fueled the song's climb to the top of the Dance chart.
Prior to her singing career, she had success as a model with the Ford Agency in New York City. She was involved in an automobile accident after her album became a hit.
Harmony
Suzi Lane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You and me, that's harmony
Harmony, harmony
You and me, we're in harmony
There I was in all those shades of blue
Wondering if and when I'd make it through
I only knew the cat and dog in my life
Threw me your lifeline
Harmony, harmony
You and me, that's harmony
Harmony, harmony
You and me, we're in harmony
Living with you helps me live with myself
I found a peace of mind, a brand new wealth
I never knew that sharing just meant caring
I didn't know a lot of things
Until you walked on in
Harmony, harmony
You and me, that's harmony
Harmony, harmony
You and me, we're in harmony
In Suzi Lane's song "Harmony," the lyrics celebrate the power and peace that comes from being in sync with someone. The song is a declaration of love and appreciation for the person who helped the singer find her way out of a dark time in her life, and into a brighter one. The lyrics convey a sense of gratitude and wonder that someone could come along, seemingly out of nowhere, and change the course of a life.
The opening lines, "Harmony, harmony, you and me, that's harmony" set the tone of the song as a tribute to the beauty and power of two people being in harmony with one another. The following lines describe the singer's state of mind before meeting the person who changes everything: feeling lost, blue, and unsure if she'll make it through. She had only the companionship of a cat and a dog in her life, until she met the person who threw her a lifeline.
The chorus repeats the message that the singer and her newly found love interest are now in harmony. The second verse reflects on the ways that living with this person has changed the singer's life for the better. She's found a sense of peace and contentment she never knew before. She realizes that sharing and caring can go hand in hand, and that she has much to learn from this person who has come into her life.

Thanks for putting this up. I know Suzy Lane personally to this day. I've known her since I was a kid and I'm 23 now. It's still so hard to believe she was so famous at one point. Anyways, just writing to thank you for your appreciation for her. I know she'd be touched. I've told her many times she still has admirers.

Does anyone have Suzi Lane singing this live???
Suzi Lane must be the lost Diva of Disco. I've never seen her on the comeback trail.

This is such a great song. When I was younger, I always hung around with older sensible people. Not dumb kids my age ;-) This is where I got to know all of this great Disco :-) House parties. I had a friend who D.Jed and he had a huge collection of this music. I was born in 1963, so people would be amazed at how much I knew about the 70's, 80's Disco & Dance Classics! I D.Jed from (1977-78 - 2000), so yes I was young when I started being a Disc Jockey & went to school. D.J. was a part time job for me then. I had graduated by age 16 anyhow ;-) Thanks for your great comment Cole :-) ♥♪☮ Have a great week :-)
