I HAD NO CLUE!! | DeBarge - Rhythm Of The Night (Official Music Video) REACTION!!

[@mva5493]

Debarge was popular in the 80s. All this love, time will reveal, love me in special way, who's holding Donna now, Who's Johnny

[@deesee3622]

El DeBarge had a great album in 2010 - no skip

Who's Johnny was one of my favorites!!!

How about a little something in the spirit of Halloween? Rockwell's "Somebody is watching me" kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYrZcox_f7iGkLs. BTW- Michael Jackson is singing backup vocals on this.

Yes!

[@jgates6645]

@craig 22 That is a great song!!!

[@MehOMy]

“Who’s Holding Donna Now” is another good one from DeBarge.

[@doobernow]

Love that song. So funny when remembering it, The Jetts 'You got it all' pops in my head lolol

[@MsLuvmusic81]

David Foster composed that song

[@amyk9175]

That song was on heavy rotation in my local grocery store for a while. It was a game to see how long I could be in the store before they played “Donna”.

[@sodone4078]

That song was written about me...😉

[@JoJoGigglessss]

You know why I love your reaction channel is because you truly have fun listening to the music. You see it in your face and your goose bumps! And of course the dancing. I sure hope you get to a million subs because you deserve them.

Great song. They also had "WHO'S JOHNNY" that was in the movie Short Circuit.

[@Van1973Auken]

That's funny, because DeBarge was married to Janet Jackson right around this time. He was produced by Barry Gordy, who produced artists like Michael Jackson, the Jackson 5 and Marvin Gaye. DeBarge was also featured on the soundtrack of Barry Gordy's kung fu movie The Last Dragon.

Susan Dee is correct. Janet Jackson was married to James Debarge w/ponytail, not the lead singer, El Debarge.

Welcome to the 80’s lol I’m so glad I was young at this time. I had SO MUCH FUN!!!!! You’re conjuring up some good ones! I Want Your Sex - George Michael Freedom - G. Michaels Wake Me Up Before You Go Go - WHAM Careless Whisper - WHAM George Michael was a part of WHAM before he went solo. George was also friends with Freddie Mercury. Anyways I ramble, so much iconic music came from the 80’s. Oh, if you haven’t seen the movie, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, watch it.

[@andreab449]

OMG I LOVE THIS SONG!!! 🔥 And Happy Belated Birthday and congrats on 100k!!! WOOO!!! 🙌🎂🎉🤗❤ Well deserved, so happy for you! 💯🤗

[@DredPiratNil]

Remember when Vanity showed this video on the movie the Last Dragon and have you seen the Last Dragon with Bruce Leroy and Sho' nuff

[@beowulf1005]

El Debarge is the result of a fusion dance between Prince & Michael Jackson.

[@victormolina3601]

He dated Janet Jackson.

[@beowulf1005]

@James Quinn ooooh I remember that one. Lol.

[@beowulf1005]

@Sascha D I don't think anyone has been able to come close to Michael's sound. Maybe New Edition sounding like the Jackson 5.

[@julieb3996]

I liked Mr. Video's description better "a confusion" of Prince & Michael Jackson.

[@beowulf1005]

@Sascha D I agree with you! Especially on the point of a producer having a big influence on an artist's sound. One example I like to give in that regard is Linkin Park with Don Gilmore & Rick Rubin. "Minutes to Midnight" had a much different vibe/feel/sound than "Meteora," IMO.

[@roxannemoser]

I had heard of DeBarge, but in my youth I listened to mostly music out of Seattle. So, thanks to your fans, I'm learning new genres too. It's brilliant! I dance like nobody's watching! I dance when I'm mowing the yard because it should be a law that when you're doing yardwork, you have to listen to music. Most mowers won't run without gas. Mine won't run without music!

[@jacksonhstudios4421]

By the way, Fleetwood Mac's Dreams (which you reacted to the other day, I think) is charting again. It's #7 on the billboard charts. Van Halen's got like 5 songs in the top 10 of the rock charts too.

Yezzz.

[@jonnno2439]

Thanks for playing this. It brings back good memories. And, also reminds me of Gloria Estafan who a couple of years later made the great song, "The Rhythm is Gonna Get You", and "1 2 3 " a few years later etc.

[@windnchgo]

When this came out many say it was more or less a copy of All Night Long by Lionel Richie. But I think this song is more danceable.

[@kristiwheels9381]

You brilliant!!!💚🎶😂 Keep doing what you're doing thanks for making us smile!!!

[@Thats.So.Trish57]

Luv this song! Had me dancing while working. “I Like it” is another song I enjoy. I remember when they were on Punky Brewster lol. I used to listen to this and The Jets “You got it all” “Make it real” constantly when I was young.

[@randomperson6433]

The Jets was THE couple skate jam!

[@lindahardy8713]

“Rememberize”.... love it! Mid 80’s & I always enjoyed this one because it was very reminiscent of Disco.... Great for dancing.

Another one of the few good 80's songs the radio was playing, it had that happy Jamaican sound and feel that everyone was glad to hear.👍💯😀

[@KingFahtah]

I still f-ing love this. They had other hits but most of them were ballads. El Debarge had some solo hits like "Who's Johnny". A good follow up would be Miami Sound Machine "Conga" and "Dr Beat". Also maybe Five Star "Love Takeover" and "System Addict"

[@ericlozen9631]

Fantastic Song! - Junior year of high school when this was released. There are 2 other hits that I love by this group: Who's Holding Donna Now & Who's Johnny. Rhythm Of The Night reminds me of spending Spring break in St. Petersburg Beach Florida in April of 1985. Being I'm from Michigan I'll toss this in. El DeBarge and his siblings are from Detroit. They also lived in Grand Rapids. You should read about his background (along with the others in the group & family). I'm sure that there's videos about their history as well. A lot of ups & downs. His story is very inspirational. *Check It Out*
