El Debarge Dj Quik

El hanging out with DJ quik, playing piano, cussing out homeboy who talked about punching James DeBarge, and just chilling in the lab with Quik and his homies.

[@ieattofu68]

You can see the intensity in EL's face when he plays that piano..sign of a natural ability from deep within...

Re Giss They grew up in the projects.

[@HappyRoach1]

The DeBarge family grew up in the projects of Detroit and Grand Rapids, Michigan. Berry Gordy and Motown cleaned them up, like they did to all Motown acts. However, you can see that ghetto coming out of him.

[@smc1774]

After watching the video for a second time, (this time the entire video), I see that it's more than El looking like a thug, but the video focused on his talent on the piano. El is absolutely brilliantly amazing. IT would be nice if El would do an entire Christmas CD on the piano, with jazz musicians. IT would be jazzy, classy, sexy, it would be El DeBarge. Just a thought.😏

[@prettykema_]

Just so Down to earth Fr. Good to see that they are still good friends to this day!

[@Melle_Indy]

Legends..!!♥️✨ It’s a real same that they didn’t get the huge recognition from the eyes of the music industry cause they deserve so much ..!!! ♥️✨ God is good (especially for El) he will be awarding with a Soul Train Award or something like that for his music contribution, I really believe it from the bottom of my heart..!!🙏🏽♥️✨✨✨✨

[@MIXEDMADNESS]

Yeah man by many accounts the DeBarges aren't soft by any stretch. They're nice guys but they'll confront you in a second if you disrespect them, as they should. From what i hear Chico and Bobby were especially known for their hands but they're all fighters if necessary. Don't let the way they look fool ya.

[@vikkistar3104]

I'm actually surprised and shocked, when I first read about the DeBarge family I thought they would be like The Jackson family. I'm not gonna lie they don't look like no hard-core gangsta's, I'm not saying their punks or anything like that. Come on they used to wear flamboyant outfits, and they use to straightened their hair and put perms in it similar to a woman's hairstyle. Also they sung slow love songs, they didn't make gangsta music like Bones Thugs and Harmony. I would never guessed that they would be violent but hey I guess you can't judge a book by it's cover

[@EJ-cc1qz]

They didn’t straighten their hair, that was their natural beautiful hair. They just wore it long and big, the 80s look for that time.

[@vikkistar3104]

@@EJ-cc1qz bruh I'm a black woman with some Caucasian and Latino in my background but I'm NOT biracial therefore I know a lot about hair. None of them except for El, Chico, Marty, and Bobby had a wavy straight Hispanic like hair. Tommy, Bunny, and Randy's hair was more coarse and afro like an average African American person. Hell even James hair was coarse and thick, his hair wasn't straight or stringy like a Caucasian person. Like I said I don't believe any of them had hair relaxers but you can tell that they used that hot comb or a hair straightner to get their hair to look like that. All kinds of people use hair straightners such as Asians, Hispanic/Latino, Middle Easterns, etc. But I know for a fact their hair isn't just naturally pressed like that

[@damishasmith5454]

It took me forever to find this song after watching Visualism

[@ItiyahIsrael]

@sparsa5.....The one more chance melody is El DeBarge's "Stay with Me" and the song, "A Dream" was relased when he was with his siblings as well. His sister Bunny sings the lead vocal. Both songs are here on KZbin. Listen to El's keyboard talent on the instrumental of "A Dream". It is so HOT that it will blow you away! See, "DeBarge Time Will Reveal Collection" at Amazon for his released instrumentals.

[@CantTellYou]

“A Dream” is FLAWLESSLY composed. Between every chord in the progression, he leads perfectly into the next with his left-hand low-end melody, triggering the notes of the next chord and so on. It’s literally a masterclass in interaction between melody & harmony... all in one single song.

“One More Chance” is one of the most notable songs by Notorious BIG. It was a sample of “Stay With Me” by Debarge. “A Dream” is another song by Debarge that was famously sampled by 2Pac and Blackstreet. Some of the most top selling songs in Hip Hop was Debarge samples.

[@patp2690]

Shannon Cunningham El grew up in the projects. He did not grow up sheltered and in the suburbs. If you watched the Unsung show about them, it was said they would fight you, if you messed with them. Secondly, El has been an addict for almost thirty years and spent many of those years on the streets associating with other junkies. There is a professional image and then you have the real person. The thing is he is a gifted musician, song writer, producer. That what we must hold onto and show our appreciation for what the DeBarges has given us. Let's us give him his flowers while he can still smell them. He deserves our love. The DeBarges deserve our love. They have given us wonderful, timeless music. Addiction is a beast. It destroys. Let not beat him down, let go of fantasies about him. He is just flesh and blood that made a bad, stupid decision which has had devastating consequences to his life. He knows the price he has paid. I want to see him win. It is not over. There is still life left. Let's encourage him to stay strong.
