I keep telling myself WOW!

Debbie C bobby was A special guy

[@Jah7878Jah]

I am not trying to be funny or anything like that. While I'm sitting here listening to Bobby's music that I've grown very fond of, I just need to ask you one question. Maybe two. How do you know that Bobby was a special kind of person? Not doubting you in any sense of the word. I believe Bobby was more than a lot of us could ever imagine in our minds. Let alone the troubled soul that he was. Did you know him personally? Are you related to him in someway? I'm just curious.

[@lisacrosley2796]

Damn! Imagine what he could have accomplished if he were still here! Not to diminish any of his accomplishments the short time he was here. Bobby DeBarge was and always will be the truth! RIP Bobby DeBarge.

[@Jah7878Jah]

Lisa I have to agree with you. I once said that I would have loved to see both Bobby D and Leon Sylvers collaborate with their talents. You know? Writing and producing music for the up and coming artist of their time. These brothers probably could have been the West coast version of Gamble and Huff from Philly. Who knows? This combo probably could have taken music to a whole different Stratosphere.

[@sirisongbird]

El DeBarge is so right when he says Bobby was the perfect talent. It was effortless for him & his voice was so much stronger than El's voice. El is the perfectionist & workaholic.

[@josephbeasley6309]

Since Bobby is unfortunately no longer with us,however El Debarge is,you would feel real stupid if El wanted to see you in person..Think about things about you compare stars to each other especially when they're related to each other...

I'm so happy that I've even heard of Bobby DeBarge. He is a gifted singer/songwriter. Period.

[@marieOH5]

I always thought Switch was popular in the midwest only, where I'm from. I was in my early teens when they came out but I remember the older girls went mad crazy over them. I remember when Bobby left the group but I didnt know he actually had a solo album. I know Bobby had a troubled life but he left us a bit of happiness with his music and voice. Rest in Paradise!

[@olubukonla7352]

*_This guy Bobby DeBarge could really sing.He had a very haunting voice and seemed to sing with such depth. My Aunt loves the music of the DeBarge family and that is how I know about it._*

[@MusicMatic707]

Bobby D was recording as early as '74, with White Heat and Pall Mall so he did not copy Phillip Bailey or Maurice White or any other falsetto singer @Tony Sawyer. I know it is like 3 years late, but gotta set that one straight. Bobby D did his own thing and initially he didn't even want to sing falsetto. He was urged to because it was so damn pure. Love the brotha, he is the best.
