Brian Mcknight interviews El Debarge Part 1

[@DollarTree259]

When El talked about Bobby his face lights up u can tell his big bro was his world.

[@TheNelsonmonteiro]

So beautiful how Brian shows love and respect to him.

[@iluvmyboba]

I LOVE El DeBarge's energy and spirit. He is so humble and sincere.

[@bmw3842]

I love this man from the beginning. I grew in the early 60’s to now. And the first time I heard him sing. I knew he and the rest of his siblings were just that good. So glad he is headed in the right direction. Such a sweet and beautiful man.

[@angelicas.keyser1711]

Is it just me or El’s talking voice really has a semblance to Michael Jackson’s: tiny, soft, and sincere.

[@emmanuelseequeh6054]

Remember the Debarges and Jacksons are close😊

[@multimusicstudios5661]

He's been that way since a kid! Can't help it...

[@cgreen2984]

El's voice is soft but deeper than Michael's.

[@tayb838]

Yes! That's what I love the most about his voice 😍

[@adailydaughter6196]

Wonderful interview with genuine respect and admiration. Thank you Bryan. Thank you El. God bless you El especially for giving the Lord the glory 🙏

[@brendab.5111]

I just love the way Brian and El have genuine respect there.

[@locadisa]

El Debarge is so humble. Amazing with such a troubled past life that he and his siblings had they were able to recover so well.

[@nieshamccoy9419]

locadisa He's learned to be humble and too not "Be too big for his britches".

[@shirleymckie6068]

I found absolutely fascinating to hear El talk about his songwriting his connection with his family musically. It's an amazing time. I will always be fascinated with Debarge. I love u El. You have the most amazing voice.

[@tanyalaw4805]

Brian did a great job with this interview

[@user-pf1fe1sn5k]

A beautiful soul doesn’t always have all the answers... clearly a gifted & spiritual man.

[@raythejay1809]

I feel for El. It will take him and The Almighty working together to keep his demons from holding him down. Just don't give up.

[@lillienewton3621]

He won't!!

[@allisonbrooks5642]

I love these 2 guys as music professionals. They have both played a great musical role in everyone's heart in the 80's, 90's, 2000's, 2010 plus now.

[@saramaria9807]

El’s love for his brother is so sincere. ❤️❤️❤️

[@jdfodio]

God inspires the DeBarge Family's music. They are respected by many singer-songwriters and musicians who are amazed by their gifts. I'm glad that El is taking complete responsibility for his drug use here. That's the first step of healing/deliverance that many people skip! I pray that God keeps him and his family saved because they have powerful testimonies of His grace (Bobby included!).

[@brendarobinson1656]

He sure is beautiful!

[@capricornlove4816]

Amen Lol

[@lillienewton3621]

He's whut u call a pretty boy!!!

[@Kaylin777]

Yeah 😂

[@jdfodio]

Did you hear anything that he SAID, though?!

[@vanessareedhawaiinani]

gurllll yessss

[@leesha812000]

All you can do is take it one day at a time. I am glad to see El comeback. The Debarge family such a great talent.

[@deeperbeauty4147]

El Debarge, and his family are so talented..They all seem, to be very humble..Its like, they can't believe how much people genuinely, love them and their musical talents. but we do love them. They are a Beautiful family, both inside and out. May, God continue to Bless them all...Much, Respect and Love for you, El and the whole Debarge Family!!!

[@kcoolmuziq]

El looking happy & healthy. A rare unique talent that star faded too soon. Please stay clean.. U created some timeless classics. Ur not and won't be forgotten

[@beversane]

Thanks for sharing this. For 1, I didn't know Brian had/has a show; and 2, it is just a different kind of interview when a great musician, a real musician, interviews somebody else of his calibre. Just a different vibe, respect and way of relating.

[@sheree1363]

“I feel brand new” love that praise God

[@imsoahmazin7817]

El Debarge is beautiful

[@FedeRhodes]

you can see the positive energy I think he is really back for good

[@strauqq1]

These two geniuses.

[@Marsena]

Thank God! Stay the course El! God bless and keep you!!!

[@marieaug9322]

Most beautiful singers have a very melodious speaking voice too, so nice.

[@sassnsweet]

I love his Spirit. It just evokes from the interviews and the shows. I would love to see him in person. Keep up the great work!

[@ombudlady]

El is so humble and he knows where his strength comes from. I applaud him for accepting God's love and moving forward with his life. His family surely had their trials and tribulations and they are further proof to God's love.

[@tenofspdes]

Amazing how the Debarges created songs that were dropped into their lap from Heaven

[@nieshamccoy9419]

I remember this. Before watching this, I didn't even know El was back. Neither did I know he was doing drugs or in prison but 22 years removed from the hell and back, he's living his life.

[@lillienewton3621]

Thats so sad to know that his Father was a no good Man to do that 2 anyone...but ur own kids his Father will pay !!!!!💋love u el

[@DEENANATOR]

El Debarge and Brian McKnight are awesome. Thanks for your show Brian. I have brothers and hearing this interview makes my heart crumble in two. I sing, my brothers sing and we need to learn from the great singers and their life circumstances. Thanks for uploading it.

[@lalaev2077]

God bless n keep this angelic talent! Love him!❤

[@joycesexton2495]

I know in my heart soul and spirit praise God you mean what you say .I'm gonna say it again no weapon formed against you and your love ones shall prosper God has always been with you and always will .love you and family .🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍🍇🍇🍇🍌🍌🍌🍌🍋🍋🍋🍉🍉🍎🍎🥥🥥🥥🍓

[@allisonbrooks5642]

Time will reveal is being loved in 2014 cause it still has meaning!!

[@nieshamccoy9419]

Allison Brooks I'm rediscovering the song. Like El, I didn't necessarily like the song either.

[@dawngrey7053]

El is a genius.

[@michellegreen8421]

Love both of em

[@nillawafah47]

El, it's to good to see you back; healthy, happy and still lookin good, baby : ) I've prayed and am still praying for you. I was with you while you were away. I would watch the calendar and say El has 6 more months to go. El has 3 more months to go. I was counting down just like you were. Also, thanks for giving Bobby props too. I love me some Bobby, too. I love all the DeBarges, but, Bobby has always had my heart. I'm so looking forward to seeing and hearing more from you. I love you, Baby.

[@harrypingol3430]

When he talks he sounds like Michael Jackson ...

[@donzettajarvis6582]

I have so much love and respect for both these men and their music. Look at God!👑👑❤️😃🙌🙏🏻

[@gracieallen6096]

He's so beautiful here. El I mean.

[@katiebrowner8463]

I love you El You are awesome. God bless you

[@chromosom9509]

Family is the key for DeBarge. If they get it together, El will have it again, and so will they.

[@nieshamccoy9419]

Don-York They're tight as a family.

[@ralphsbabygirl41]

Sorry, but family is what helped him fall! Sometimes it’s best to love from afar! TheRe’s too much temptation there

[@deborahthomes3383]

Mama Debarge had some beautiful kids

[@Ke80schick]

I love ELLLLL!!!!!!!

[@frnlam6426]

Georgeous El D .

[@gwendolynhall2573]

My handsome baby el debarge who i deep love forever for life

[@ricobhi]

He said when is he gonna get some action off his songs? Ain't he got 12 kids? 🤣

[@notsogood9449]

@CharR... Yep... as soon as he said "Geeked up"... the first thing that came to my mind was Detroit. El was born and raised in the "D".

[@ladymuziklover]

aww im glad to see u back in stride again, El!

[@VRonkiej]

How did I miss this?? Wow.

[@jeremyvanbriesies1940]

The best song i have EVER heard El de Barge sing , is the Andre Crouch classic " The Lord is my light " ...alongside the Clarke sisters... He has sung some amazing songs but this one is my favourite

[@Sparkle5119]

I love El❤️

[@rivotte1822]

El and Bobby were both blessed with gifted musical ability, but El remain in your beautiful gift and in God's path and I hope you'll win the Grammy Award on 02-12-12. Blessings. 01-28-12.

[@starmocha9027]

Nicely done

[@mhillvo]

6:11 I needed some 'time out of mind'....wow. Song title of "Steely Dan" hit...describing addiction I finally discovered while researching the songwriters and their private life struggle with friends who'd O.D.'d and addicted..so many in that industry may make $$ for awhile, but a "DeLorean" type move didn't work for John either, memory recalls...glad he made it through though. Sure it was quite the struggle to find himself authentically. So worth it, IMHO. Old interview, I know...hope he's still doing OK, 2020...a Corona year to remember one day...

[@earlrodgers8124]

Awesome singers and in Milwaukee we really love el debarge also

[@markcrisp7315]

You & EL should do something I know you worked with Chico on when can I see you again on The Game album it’s 2021 get it 2 of my favorite male vocalist 💯🎼🎤

[@BenJabituya]

Brian, El and I got one thing in common: We're all Geminis! El was born on 4th June, Brian was born on 5th June, and I was born on 18th June! (split by 2 weeks from El's birthday!)

[@kishajenkins8542]

Rohan Padiyar cool

[@akib2926]

Rohan.... i do agree with you 100%! Ppl are born in June / Gemini...They are genius! Miles Davis, Prince, Lee Morgan etc. And you must be too!!!!!

Most of El's songs were gospel songs, converted to pop love songs.

[@mzcrystalg]

Yep!

[@cgreen2984]

😳🤷🏾‍♀️

[@animalames78]

So honest

[@fnkdrmmr]

I just picked up Lillo Thomas' new CD, "Come And Get It". The hit single, "What's Not To Love?" is really good.

[@jackiejackson8484]

Go to church and make gospel music so you’re not tempted in this career.

[@garrymckinnon4005]

Dang it!!! Were they brothers or cousins???? From what I read back in the day...it was said Bobby was a cousin of El and them..........

[@nieshamccoy9419]

GARRY MCKINNON His older brother.

[@ombreyarenee3826]

Bobby was El's oldest brother. He said that too.

[@JETVISION1]

Bobby was El's Big Bro and mentor.
