DeBarge Family - Heart Mind & Soul (complete version)

Recorded Christmas 2011

[@bunnydebargeofficial]

One day and one day soon my family will be together again singing for the glory of God! We had no rehearsal. Basically it was just a jam session for the Lord. But one day we will get it back together again and be the perfectionist that we all were born to be. I can't wait! To God be the Glory for the things He has already done. Bunny, Tommy, Randy, Mark, El, James, Chico, Carol and Darrell will grace the stage again as one!!! Bless God!!

[@Ulander777]

+Bunny DeBarge Amen and Amen!!!

[@true8teesbaby]

This blessed me. I just read your book and Tommy's "There'll Never Be." My heart is filled with empathy for what your family is overcoming. Being an eighties' kid, The Debarge's family music has been the soundtrack of my life from Switch, Debarge, to Chico. I pray The Most High continues to keep your family.

[@cassideefaulk5392]

+Bunny DeBarge I love your family and continue to pray nothing but the best for you all!!!! You all have brought so much joy into my life through your music and are so very talented and it is amazing to see a whole family of greatness!!!!! Life is a circle of happiness, sadness, hard times, and good times. Continuing to have faith that the good times are back on the way!!! God bless you all!!!!!

[@NkrumahTure]

+Bunny DeBarge Its my desire that your family does get back together to sing gospel. You deserve all the success in your music careers, and best of luck. I'll be watching you guys. I've been a DeBarge fan since the 80's.

[@lisage]

+Bunny DeBarge I hope so too Bunny. Keep praying.

[@valentinepayne6464]

Who's listening to this March 2023. Love this family so talented. This is a gift from God goosebumps every time i hear this.

[@msgroovethang4995]

It's Feb. 2024........Still listening, R.I.H. Mama DeBarge😢

[@gen_x_diva9869]

I watched Unsung Switch Sunday night and could not get this family out of my heart. They stayed in me while I slept. It was night a peaceful rest. I woke up with this family and realized my spirit was grieved by the pain and horror they endured. I had to intercede and pray for them. Even now, 3 days later they are on my heart. I will continue to pray and intercede for them.

[@janicejohnson2966]

Cheryl Toland, - The same thing has happened with me ALL week long! Thank you for lifting their whole family up in prayer. I know that God is not through with them yet. And there is still All POWER in the Name of Jesus to break every chain!!

[@locadisa]

Janice Johnson I've watched it many times and it hurts everytime however it's great to see how well they have healed. Family first. Always. I thought for sure that they would use the tv one documentary as a guide for a big screen movie. It's been a long time now. Don't want to wait till they all are gone.

[@DJ-vu9lx]

I feel that way also. Like my family.

[@vanettaharris8673]

Oh wow me too. The things they suffered at the hands of their dad, music was their escape, downfall but their GIFT. that kept them. I LOVE how they overcame 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 God is REAL!!!

[@theggirl93]

I felt exactly the same and this is 2024 and I'm in Manila, Philippines. Been a Switch and El Debarge fan since the 80s.

OMG!!!!!!......TOMMY IS KILLING THAT BASS!!!!......THAT DEBARGE SOUND!

El is a master at music. As he leads everyone...telling others to drop the volume to give each their time to shine.

[@GizmetDora]

K. C. So true! El was born to create music as well as sing and play the piano. He has such a leading quality in arranging the music and the singers as well. Great talent!

[@jquanpayne5893]

They need to make a movie about this family.

[@thedevilneverwins5140]

I heard B.E.T will be making one after the huge success of The New Edition Story..I love me some Debarge but will we be able to handle all the heartache and abuse cause they are so dear to us..I was a young teenager (15yrs) when Debarge came on the scene and I wasn't introduced to Switch until my senior year of high school in 1988..I've always wished that I found someone who can love me the way I feel when I hear I Call Your Name..oh gosh, How I love Debarge

[@kishajenkins8542]

I thought TVone was making a movie about them, though my preference would be BET since they did such a great job with the New Edition story.

[@haydanjames6182]

May god set them free from all addiction.......such a humble family x

[@willisjr12169]

This chokes me up, this version is so beautiful, very blessed and talented family. God bless the Debarge Family forever

2024 still sooo appreciate this ❤❤❤❤

[@ginahorne5248]

It's 2021 and I am listening to this beautiful family sing. This blessed my soul. Praying for the entire DeBarge family as they have blessed us with their gifts.

I wish there father wasn't so mean, just think how they would have been with out all those horrible memories, and those evil people pretending to be their friends in hollywood, stabbing them in their backs, I guess their where so young they could not see it. But they are still here still beautiful and still singing for the Lord, he want forgot you. The whole family is beautiful.

[@kiearatd]

This song has a Marvin Gay appeal to it. Wonderful.

[@seanlewis1148]

That's where El gets most of his inspiration from. Listen to Foreplay's rendition of Marvin's "After the Dance" with El on lead vocals and it sounds like Marvin all over again.

[@gonzalopriale3293]

El > Marvin

Yes it does😍

[@lonnieroberson7957]

If you listen to I know of 2 of his albums, in the storm and mind body and soul, you can clearly hear it and he does an excellent job in doing so. 2 very good projects that got no air play, very soulful sound and I love them and I love his music, one of the purest voices ever, not just studio as so many others are.

[@ItiyahIsrael]

Their mother can sing!!! Listen to Mama DeBarge belt those notes out!!! You go Mama D! Then, Tommy DeBarge & his son, Andrew, tear those guitar riffs so beautifully! What a God given talented family! Amazing! I love it!

[@843Nappy-Jey]

Wish Bobby was still here with us and especially them. That would've been so beautiful.

[@malissaedwards6594]

I listen to this over and over again, simply because God's love flows through the instruments (The DeBarge family & the instruments they play). It is evident that God's anointing is upon them. Their music speaks to one's soul. It stirs up the gift on the inside of you and moves your heart, mind and soul because it is that which is rare today... AUTHENTIC WORSHIP. A REAL LOVE FOR GOD; DESPITE OF...

[@dreas.8202]

Look at Chico! He looks so good! And who knew that Mama DeBarge could get down like that! Isn't she near 80???? So great to see the family together. So good to see El Home!!!!

[@Theloquaciousone]

Great job Mama D. The drummer didn't miss a beat. Andrew was awesome and Chico did the damn thing. El was the maestro. Tommy took it back and bunny and James are a living testimony. God bless them all. What talent.

[@pbrewster77]

That was Randy not James.

El is anointed and he will b a preacher soon.

This is a very gifted a talented family. It reminds me of my own family. I tell you music and God can bring a family together. No matter where life takes you that foundation is there and you can see it in this family. I pray for this family in the blood of Jesus that one day they can show the whole FULL and COMPLETE DELIVERANCE they have a gift and can touch so many lives with the story they have. Even tho the devil has tried over and over to kill the gift and the lives God can rebuild all.
