[@megswedeb7234]

DeBarge is from my hometown of Grand Rapids Michigan. In the late 70's and early 80's they played in local bars where we danced our butts off to them before they were signed by Berry Gordy. So many hits "All this Love", "Time will Reveal". -The Rhythm of the Night album became the band's best-selling work, going platinum and featuring further hits such as "Who's Holding Donna Now" and "You Wear It Well". SWITCH was their other band that had phenomenal songs such as "There'll Never Be", "I Call Your Name", and "Love Over & Over Again". Several had drug problems which was rampant in the 80's and 90's unfortunately. Bobby passed away. James was briefly married to Janet Jackson. Father was reportedly abusive when they were children. They're still around. One of my all time favorite bands who were overshadowed by the Jackson's. Eldra Patrick "El" DeBarge (born June 4, 1961) is an American singer-songwriter, musician and producer. He was the focal point and primary lead singer of the family group Debarge. " Popular songs led by Eldra DeBarge include "Time Will Reveal", "Who's Holding Donna Now,"Stay with Me", "All This Love", and "Rhythm of the Night". As a solo artist, he is best known for his unique high tenor register, strong falsetto and hits like "Who's Johnny" and "Love Always". He's also collaborated with artists such as Dionne Warwick, Al Green, Lalah Hathaway, Tone Loc, Babyface, Faith Evans, Quincy Jones, Fourplay, and DJ Quik. DeBarge is a five-time Grammy Award nominee."

The DeBarge siblings were so talented. This song came out in 1982...I was 8 years old. I remember my aunties and their friends (who were all teenagers at the time) playing the 45" on their record player blasting the song. It's been a favorite of my ever since. One auntie had a major crush on El DeBarge, while my other auntie (her sister) had a crush on Michael Jackson. lol 😆🤣

The film The Last Dragon features Rhythm of the Night by them. You would love the movie about a young black martial artist who falls for a singer played by Vanity.

Timeless and your reaction proves it

[@staceycheatom4427]

El DeBarge is a beast!! He still sounds amazing! I've seen him live and he puts on a great show! They all are so talented. Fun fact, that's not El who starts off the song, it's another brother, Randy! They have two other brothers who were in the group Switch! Very similar sound..."There'll Never Be" "I Call Your Name"...
