[@jorgerodriguez-ig5oe]

I don't care what song El Debarge sings live. he is just amazing!!!

[@mayuntakent2278]

The Debarge family may have had their struggles but they have God given talent 💎💕💕✊😇

@Mayunta Kent Fo sho!🎵🎶🎤🎙🙏🏾👏🏾❤

[@eqlzr2]

This guy is a quality performer. Worth studying on many levels

[@ronaldvaughn7087]

Being The Huge El Debarge Fan That I Am, I Can Honestly Say, This Great Guy Is One Of The Select Few Music Vocalist, Who Will Always Have An Infinite Career Shelf Life, Even After He's Gone. May God Bless El Debarge Always & Forever

[@cocomaire]

The thought of him dying is already breaking my heart💔 I’ll cry like a baby

[@brightemerald3924]

@@cocomaire You and I both. The mere thought of that is trauma inducing. El take care.

[@maudlainejones2538]

I love his sweet and innocent voice. He is in a class all by himself. Timeless

[@RealMortenHarket]

Hello fan

[@laraoneal7284]

Wow he really catches the Marvin sound and vibe. He should do a huge tribute to Marvin and all his jams. Love this guy.

[@terrellwashington3050]

This song is entitled AFTER THE DANCE, which is a remake of a hit song by Marvin Gaye. CLOSE TO YOU is a totally different song that came from the 2010 album, SECOND CHANCE. Despite this, both songs are great. This remake was made featuring Fourplay.

[@brendarobinson1656]

He broke it down at the end - acapella style! Just beautiful.....

[@workhardenjoylife6122]

This is real and true talent. What an amazing voice. Timeless.

[@Secret-sw8ih]

I discovered El Debarge the other day, literally! whilst online. I adore him. He is such a perfect performer & so suave. If THIS isn't smooth, then I don't know what is.

[@marianoging9664]

And also , how beautiful he is. My God!

[@masukamagambo4236]

Secret smoother than buttery butter and softer than frogs fur!!!!!

[@msladylibra8373]

Oh my goodness El is so fine his velvet voice is a monumental Treasure I PRAY consistently for his sobriety ❤🙏🏽

[@kjsgirl8792]

shout out to the background singers too! they can make or break a song! perfect and beautiful performance! God got a little heavy-handed when he was pouring sexiness into el!

[@yolandakhayyam8257]

Yesssss goodness!!!!!

[@CodyCole80]

The one in the middle looks like Bobby. Is that him?

[@XxBabyGurlLovexX]

@@CodyCole80 No, that's his other brother Randy. He looks like Bobby too. All the DeBarge brothers look so much alike!

[@CodyCole80]

XxBabyGurlLovexX Oh. Cause I was thinking that Bobby was probably locked up during this. Thanks for clarifying.

[@XxBabyGurlLovexX]

@@CodyCole80 You're welcome. I believe so because this song is featured on Fourplay's first studio album named after the group in 1991 so at that time, Bobby was incarcerated.

[@misstrippy1147]

I have always had a soft spot for El DeBarge, and the DeBarge Family. So blessed with talent. He was performing at Bal Theatre some years ago. I bought a plane ticket, flew from San Diego to Oakland, took a Lyft to Hayward to the rented a hotel room for the night and paid for front row tickets (great seating there!). He's an excellent performer...that night they said he wasn't feeling well. The only damper was that the meet & greet was cancelled. A couple of mos. later, he came to Music Box in San Diego. I went to see him, and I was not disappointed. He was singing in my direction...Wow. I definitely will try to see him perform again. Great stage presence!

[@traceynabors]

This man....this voice....

[@cocomaire]

El always does Marvin justice ♥️ whew, I have to fan myself 🔥👏

[@paulrobinson5619]

Good ear 😅🎉

[@cherYsh8]

His Music is truly as charming as he. Enjoyed DeBarge songs since the early eighties. Great Second Chance album

[@kadijastephens3141]

Me too. I bought their albums in high school. When I first saw them on Soul Train and American Bandstand, I fell in love with their music, look and silky-voices. #Legendary

[@ronaldvaughn7087]

( smiles ) !! Absolutely Babe, EL Debarge Was & Still Is Like The ( Clark Gable ): Of Male Vocalist, & I Was So Pleased To See His Comeback To The Music Industry, After All His Life Struggles.

[@ronaldvaughn7087]

Wow !! That's My Main Man El Debarge Really Knocked This Marvin Gaye Classic Song: ( I Want You ): Out Of The Park !!

[@cornbreadthedog]

El looking so smooth here. Almost didn't think it was him until he sang. LOL. I remember Debarge used to wear a lot of crazy colorful 1980's fashions. LOL. Again, so very nice to see him looking sharp here.

[@DJ-vu9lx]

My Fine El, wearing me out with his voice and looks. Love him always

Sound Soo Good Debarge💖🖤🤩🎈👏🏽🎈🤩🤗🔥🙌🏽

[@pamelafrank1659]

The name of this song is After the Dance, not Close to You; not sure why it's labeled incorrectly.... btw, El did an amazing job; no one else could have covered this song...

[@veronicabrown6583]

Brenda Robinson

[@cherYsh8]

Inspiring beautiful charming voice of El. This song is almost the sound of legendary Marvin Gaye (El inspiration) reminds me of 'Come Get To This'

[@ANTPHRESSH89]

#ELDEBARGE I LOVE YOU UNCLE. YOU ARE THE TRUTH. YOUR VOICE IS TIMELESS. CLASSIC SINGING!

[@fokuz02]

+ANTPHRESSH Definitely a timeless voice! Thank him for me

[@CBrown9758]

ANTPHRESSH wow it's a beautiful, touching thing to hear from a family member on youtube.Please tell him i will forever love and appreciate God for him and his family.

[@jctee7319]

He's not related to the DeBarges, He's yet another pseudo-debarge impostor

[@melissawilkinson8116]

Seriously? That's kinda sad. :(

[@marielibutan1863]

ANTPHRESSH , hes so handsome ..El de barge is one of my favorite singer of the 80s..love him soo much!!

[@sleec3643]

Father in Heaven, PLEASE let me have an opportunity to be in that front row in a venue like this with El DeBarge on stage, in His Own Full set, where I can get to witness him deliver the music that came after DeBarge......like this song, Dindi, Turn The Page, Second Chance, Don't Say It's Over.....just the gamut of pure EL. The jazz & blues overtones bring him out in ways I'm not sure he had thought about. And yes, all the rest. I'm serious. Thank You! Amen.

[@cindydillingham4650]

Gift from heaven

[@sweetlady3651]

I'd wish he would sing queen of my heart my adore that song

[@tsandjari]

You know it!! I play it every time I am doing a run of him and DeBarge.

My GOD,GREAT Performance,EL and others.if it were a precious object, I will let myself go to say that "I buy, eyes closed" but here it is a REMARKABLE BENEFIT, without a net in front of an audience convinced and seduced as us.BRAVO, EL!

[@Thomas-VA]

the greatness of what a live performance should be, and the song, a classic. Great genetics for musical talent. even kept the beat when the audience starting clapping out of sync into the extended ending, pro's. My favorite version of this song.

[@marialilianavelizdelcastil4130]

Que bella interpretación el debarge. Lo máximo♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@shivaneepatell]

Amazing falsetto!

[@ladysnowwhite653]

Binge watching El and he is such an Icon, still relevant. Bringing all that love in his music. Come back to me El Debarge. I want you! Loving this song, haven't heard it in a long time. yes Love ya. Oh yeah so smooth.

[@tamiaherring2413]

El is Still Amazing 😍🔥🔥. 2022. Pure Sexy Talented Artist. Sings from his ❤️. 🌹 🌹

[@kishajenkins8542]

I like the Bossa Nova feel of this

[@fatman7100]

El DeBarge was on DJ's Quik hand and hand video. I would recall on one of the comments someone had said he looks prettier than the girls on those videos. Also last night I finished watching the Bobby DeBarge story. Sad story, it seems that Bobby DeBarge couldn't catch a moment of peace due to his tormented childhood brought on by his father. Note to parents you're a big influence in your children's life. Whether you know it or not.

[@natalee217]

El is just a bad ass…period. Since the 80s too

[@bibi1519]

¡TE AMAMOS EL DEBARGE!

[@XxBabyGurlLovexX]

El is so smooth and sexy with a voice like silk 😍❤🔥 just like big brother Bobby (RIP)! I love the DeBarges!
