FIRST TIME HEARING DeBarge - All This Love Reaction

[@coreyh5211]

My young brother, I could just see the appreciation on your face.... keep doing your thang

[@mauricebrown9183]

The DeBarge’s first two albums were produced by Bobby and El DeBarge, after that Elldra Patrick DeBarge aka El DeBarge wrote, arranged & produced , and played most of the instruments as well as did the background vocals on 90% of he and his siblings albums ! El is easily as talented as Michael Jackson and Prince, when it comes to writing, producing, arranging & singing ! El has an 4 octave vocal range. El can play piano, organ, synthesizers, Clavinet, and harspchord , as well as bass and percussions . El DeBarge is a musical genius .

[@thibautzadina7013]

holy what!? i didn't know that, that's really impressive :o (I would also add August Darnell/Kid Creole to the artists you already mentionned)

[@sainttrunks1982]

Bunny wrote most of this

[@MrMarmarsFilms]

This is why the 70's, 80's and early 90's will always be the best decades of music. "The Golden Era of Music"!

[@ubilo]

Please don't forget the 60's.

[@liquidlightz]

DeBarge produced and wrote much of their material along with Iris Gordy and Bobby DeBarge of Switch. Playing the guitar solo was Jose Feliciano who was signed with Motown at the time. You should check Jose playing Light My Fire.

[@wakeupstopsleeping6300]

I didnt know jose Feliciano was on guitar.

[@seanbrown8900]

I just read that Jose Feliciano was on Motown (the feliz navidad guy):)

Revisiting this reaction video a year later, and it does my heart good to see such genuine appreciation from someone of your generation for this music. It truly is first class musicianship and vocalization, and to witness you enjoy it so much the way we did when it first was released puts a big smile on a brother's face. :)

[@andrewgarcia1114]

We need that music back!!!for real for real.

[@mr.goodenough3796]

Guitar solo by Jose Feliciano , great Puerto Rican singer/ guitarist, who is also blind. Debarge had some jams back in the day man.

[@nadiluvmuzik1284]

Wow! I never knew that!! Interesting!

[@PheLaReux]

DeBarge is/was EVERYTHING in my childhood!!!! Loved them & their music. El & James collaborated frequently with DJ Quik in later years

[@kimberleighlivingston9411]

A lot of people don't even know who DJ Quik is😂😂

[@Ghost10_]

El's Interlude was/is straight 🔥

[@doctorj6030]

Another favorite song, you don't hear much anymore. When this came out in the 80s, used to love hearing this in a bar later ar night & slow dancing . I love that jazzy sound, kind of like Anita Baker

[@matsugo24]

Some thirty plus years later, I still love this song. Was great being a teen in the 80s!

[@chitownbear7733]

Man bruh... You definitely ahead of the curve on the music reactors... Almost every group or artist I search, I always see your image... Keep that game going mayne

[@JustJammin]

Will do!

[@fantasyguru26]

Hands down my favorite DeBarge song. The production is incredible, it does a wonderful job connecting the sounds of the 70's to the 80's. And El's vocals are somewhere in the stratosphere. Sweet Jesus music just doesn't get much better than this.

[@sandraneal7665]

I like time will reveal by Debarge

[@dee_pendable1]

One of my favorite DeBarge songs. Love their music

[@JemJam2976]

Bobby Debarge was in Switch. DeBarge's lead singer was El.

[@mumm-ratheeverliving2288]

DeBarge was that deal in the early 80's. Such a talented family that honestly should have been so much bigger than they are. Drug problems, personal termoil and poor management tore them about. El DeBarge made a couple of solo efforts that were also sadly derailed because of his drug and personal issues. Great band though, none the less.

[@mtsula]

I always feel so sorry for this family; the abuse they suffered under their father's hands growing up.

[@smittybenzo4693]

Da Brat sampled this as well on a song called "Ghetto love" featuring T Boz of TLC

[@deesee3622]

thats right!

[@d-nice5960]

Debarge " Love me in a special way" is the song to listen to with Stene Wonder playing on it.

[@SopranoSistah]

💯💯💯💯💯💯💯 WISE commentary after you listened so closely to this song.

[@LadybugLuv]

Me being a young 7th grader, you couldn't tell me El wasn't singing to me only! LOL , I had such a crush!

[@kimberleighlivingston9411]

Me too 🤓🤓🤓

[@mauricebrown9183]

El DeBarge has written,arranged and produced 90% of he and his siblings Music . El is also doing most of the background and playing most of the instruments .

[@ExclusiveLM]

The guy in the blue shirt El Debarge in the group picture above wrote the majority of the songs for this family related group. All five are brothers and a sister. They also had another four brothers and another sister for a total of 10 siblings. In R&B slow jams they are considered legends. I'm a white music composer and to me they are in my top three groups all-time in R&B music along with Earth Wind & Fire and The Stylistics

[@michaelparmes1032]

[@rumseyh]

Hey JJ... just as a cross-reference - remember that El Debarge was one of the featured vocalists on Quincy Jones' album Back On the Block (song... "Secret Garden") that you reviewed recently. Not saying that you forgot... but the "intertwinings" and collaborations of artists from the catalog of "real good soul/R&B music" is endless lol!

[@IceManLikeGervin]

DeBarge is the sure shot...you should check out their UnSung episode as they went through a lot of serious drama in their lives.

[@ShogunOfHarlem]

They had a rough upbringing for sure.

I DO love music. What I DON’T love is breaking the mood every time he pauses to comment 🙄

[@Whitebrowpriest]

@@Tonabillity - LOL, dude that is the format of a "reaction video". It's to be expected. If you want to listen to music without commentary, then don't watch these reaction channels, just search the original song uploads. "Commentary" is the whole point of this stuff. We, who love music, or grew up with the tracks Just Jammin' (and the like) are reacting to, already know the songs quite well and are more than familiar with their 'mood'. But what we react channel fans enjoy (in this context) is to witness how a new generation appreciates the music, learning about the artists, and yes, "expressing" how they feel about it. Nothing wrong with that. :)

[@Tonabillity]

@@WhitebrowpriestHa! I guess that's "your" reaction to "my" reaction of a reaction video. I appreciate his reaction videos as well. I just sometimes wish that the attention span of today's generation was a tad healthier. For instance, I watched a girl react to a "Who's on First" comedy routine a while back. As you know, it's almost impossible to comprehend that particular routine, even if you're paying 100 percent full attention. Her stopping to react every few seconds, (predictably) made it an exercise in futility. The punchlines left her clueless. I must say, one thing that I dig about "Just Jammin'" is that he truly takes the time to consider feedback. He gave my suggestion a "like" and I feel that he's gotten much, MUCH better since I made that comment. I think the fact that he's so coachable is precisely what makes him stand out from all the rest! I appreciate your feedback, and will consider your point of view as well.

[@markstewart6104]

The music from about 1976 to 1990 had the best ballads, and the funkiest grooves. That's why Silk Sonic is so awesome, they're a throwback to 1980 with amazing talent. You always choose great songs to react to, and your appreciation of the music is so fun to watch.

JJ am way, way late seeing this. Hope u not upset I say this. So interesting to watch your reaction given your not being from that generation, not growing up with pop music, not having yet been (based on your statements on other reactions) in a yearning / serious romantic relationship (probably better and mentally healthier for you) yet still wildly appreciative of this song. I have always liked this and your reaction confirms my fondness for it is justified. Thanks very much !

[@Mrs.White77]

Well Done, Youngsta❤❤❤

[@Whitebrowpriest]

The producers of the album, "All This Love" (2nd studio album) were El DeBarge, Raymond Crossley, Iris Gordy, Curtis Anthony Nolen. Their 3rd studio album, "In A Special Way", was produced by El DeBarge, and most of the tracks on the album were written by either El or one or more of his siblings, including Bunny and James.

[@jayeell1253]

i remember this from back home in GT(Guyana)

[@warrenburns0820]

El DeBarge was a chip off big brother Bobby DeBarge block. El was an iconic singer from the 80's that stood out when DeBarge the group came into view. Behind the scenes big Brother Bobby was nurturing the group for hitsville Motown. El DeBarge as well as the entire family were seriously gifted in music. Bobby , El and Bunny did most of the productions and arrangements. As well as most of the writing of hits.

[@mixlennoxx6144]

8th grade school dance, song was all the rave, without words Erick extended his hand to me. Lights dimmed low we made our way to the floor. It was the first "slow dance" of the evening. During the instrumental he asked, “want to be my girlfriend?” This song is one of my favorites.

Debarge was a family group that was signed to the Motown label. They could have been more successful but a lot the guys got involved with drugs. They had a few other hits Rhythm of the Night (featured in a movie), I like it, and Dreams(sung by the sister Bunny)

Love the DeBarges. Growing up in the 80s, Michael's falsetto was good, but everyone knew El's was better, perhaps the best! That family's battle with drug addiction hampered their careers, but they seem to be doing good now. 80s R & B was the era of smooth, laid-back, baby-making grooves.

WOWWWWW All of this time I thought that DeBarge was HISPANIC........ The DeBarge family are the children of Robert DeBarge, Sr., a white man of French descent, and Etterlene DeBarge (née Abney), a black woman born in Michigan in 1935. They married when Etterlene was 17, a year after the death of her father James Abney, a church choir leader and peanut retailer.
