[@dezntif2]

I was a huuuuuuge DeBarge fan back in the 80’s! I read all three books by Tommy, Bunny, and their mom. The pain that this family endured was horrific and telling of what mental, verbal, sexual, and physical abuse can do to a family. They could have been the biggest stars in the world but the psychological ramifications of their past greatly hindered their success...😔

[@Gapeaches77able]

Read Greg Williams book “Switch, Debarge, Motown & Me”. Whoa! Lots of juicy details.

[@AnitaMariaWhite]

Mama DeBarge is responsible. Her insecurity. Her cultural self-hatred. Her unapologetic return to the monster who abused her children in the worst way. It amazes me that her remaining offspring forgive her ... I don't have ANY respect for this woman. None at all.

[@southerngirlchef5886]

The most surprising thing I found out about Bobby Debarge, was after watching unsung finding out he was bisexual. They never answered the question.

[@daingermouz2077]

I was also surprised when I originally heard that but that was years ago. 1994 I think. By the time it was on the Unsung/Switch episode I wasn't shocked. Just saddend.

[@MsNooneinparticular]

Yeah. Probably had a lot of confusion going on from what his dad did to him as a child. Sometimes being sexually abused by someone of the same sex can result in seeking out similar experiences later in life. Or maybe he was just naturally bisexual. Sounds like he didn't love himself very much in any case. It's a shame he died so young.

[@jesuswilljudge7296]

Thats how he got aids

[@southerngirlchef5886]

Jesus will Judge, as well as he could’ve got the HIV virus from using and sharing bad needles. I think his excessive drug use resulted him in getting full blown Aids which lead to his death. 😢 Either way, I pray that he made his peace with God.

[@lhawkins40]

I loved the acting, but not so much as the look. Sometimes you just have to wait like when making the movie Ray with Jamie Foxx , made me think I was watching the real Ray Charles. Even Bohemian Rhapsody which all of them looked like replicas of Queen. Bobby Debarge was handsome and tall, with beautiful hair the actor did not make me believe it was him. Don't get me started on El Debarge, who is my favorite. I think they should have held off and got a cast that really complimented the Debarge family and really made something that could stand out, even if it could have went to Netflix like the movie When they see us.

Not sure how acurate this will be. I've never seen Bobby in a interview to tell what his personality was like. I think Bobby's wife is a consultant for this movie but unless the writers, producer's, director's spoke with the Debarge family, members of Switch, Berry Gordy or Jermaine Jackson how would they even know. Bobby's wife wasn't with him at the peak of his fame.

[@MUSICENCYLOPEDIA]

Bunny, her mother and members of the group Switch revealed that they weren't contacted to give their input on the film. Original TV One was going to do a movie on the DeBarge family but it seems like they decided to film a Bobby DeBarge film instead.

​@@daingermouz2077Bobby's wife is one of the executive producers of the film and they married around the time when the group was at it's crossroads.

[@lorettahines7936]

According to article in ‘PARADE’ in 2012, a psychologist study showed that children need to know (1) that things don’t always work out (2) and you need to know about your ‘Family History’! My comments: Find out how your parents and others were treated by who they thought were their parents, grandparents, uncles/aunts, cousins, great uncles/aunts? Who were their enemies and what happened: who got after them, tried to harm them or who tried to kill them or who killed them? Did they go to school: where, when and how? Why didn’t they go to school or further their education? A group member’s comments below: A foundation (family history) is so important ... even if just stories about a parent’s life experiences. Agreed, we need to raise children to be resilient. The other part psychologists are saying, it is important that parents allow children to solve their own problems. Too often parents step in to fix, but we will not be here forever to solve their problems.

[@lorettahines7936]

I found out 15 years ago that there were many unofficial adoptions from the beginning of time up until the 1940s especially, in the United States, where there were no paperwork, no attorney nor court, nothing legal. You just take the baby, infant, small child, teen, young adult and older adults home with you and when the ‘census records takers’ comes around you just tell them that its your daughter/son if they will be too young to remember that they were separated from their biological parents; they are not never told about whatever happened to their parents, that they were/are not their children, and that they are not the parents. Not only did relatives take in the orphans but none relatives or friends of the parents and neighbors. Back then heads of households took in strangers when they didn’t have nobody to stay with or take care of them; and the census records aren’t correct as to the ‘role’ of the baby, small child to the head of households, in many cases if the infant, small child isn’t no kin then they are mistreated badly, not talked to, nor cared about nor looked out for and encouraged to do better or stay in school. This is the reasons that you may not be liked, respected, cared about, talked to, looked out for by who you think is your parents, grandparents, greats, aunts/uncles cousins and other kin. Collect the Family history anyway, because you could be possibly cousins, you would have to get an Ancestry dna test or 23&me to find out for sure!

Switch are an R&B/funk band that found fame recording for the Gordy label in the late 1970s, releasing hit songs such as "There'll Never Be", "I Call Your Name", and "Love Over & Over Again". Switch influenced bands such as DeBarge, which featured the siblings of Switch band members Bobby and Tommy DeBarge. Also known asWhite Heat, Hot Ice Origin Mansfield, Ohio, United StatesGenresR&B, funkYears active1975-present Labels RCA, Polydor, Gordy (Motown), Total original switch Members Gregory Williams Eddie Fluellen Phillip Ingram Michael McGloiry Akili Nickson James Strong Michael Norfleet Derek OrganPast membersBobby DeBarge Tommy DeBarge Jody Sims Attala Giles Renard Gallo Gonzales Ozen Howie Carbaugh Christopher Hawkins Anthony Watters The group was formed in Mansfield, Ohio, in December 1976 by Gregory Williams. They recorded a demo tape in Columbus, Ohio with the financial assistance of Bernd Lichters. Switch included Gregory Williams, brothers Tommy DeBarge and Bobby DeBarge, all from Grand Rapids, Michigan, along with Akron, Ohio natives Phillip Ingram (brother of James Ingram), Eddie Fluellen, and Jody Sims (originally from Steubenville, Ohio). Williams, Bobby DeBarge, and Sims had been members of White Heat, which released a self-titled album on RCA in 1975, but the band's producer, Barry White, soon shuttered his Soul Unlimited production company and dropped all the acts on the roster. Williams, then living in Akron OH, decided to form his own band. The new group would become Switch due to their ability to switch to different lead vocalist and instruments during a song. After a demo was recorded by the newly formed, unnamed band, Williams and Sims flew to LA and by sheer coincidence got the attention of Jermaine Jackson, former member of the Jackson 5, and Hazel Gordy Jackson (Jermaine's then-wife and daughter of Motown chief Berry Gordy Jr.), who heard the group's demo tape. Within weeks, the group was signed to the Motown Records Gordy subsidiary label. They recorded and released their self titled debut album some 18 months later in 1978, which featured their first Top 10R&B hit single, entitled "There'll Never Be". The song also proved to be their biggest success on the Billboard Hot 100, where it was a Top 40 hit (their only one), peaking at #36. Their songs were written by Williams, Bobby DeBarge and Sims, sometimes in collaboration with Jermaine Jackson. Though they never managed to achieve significant crossover success into the pop singles chart, they were a consistent presence on the R&B charts through the late 1970s with albums such as Switch II from 1979 (their second release), This Is My Dream and Reaching For Tomorrow in 1980. Their final release on Gordy was Switch V, released in 1981. Songs such as "I Wanna Be Closer", "We Like to Party", "I Call Your Name", "Best Beat in Town", and "Love Over and Over Again" also became hits for the group. Shortly after the DeBarge brothers left Switch to mentor their younger siblings in the group DeBarge, and lead singer Ingram left to pursue a solo career, Switch took on new vocalists and musicians: singer Renard Gallo, Gonzales Ozen, and bassist Phil Upchurch Jr. This configuration of Switch signed with Total Experience (home of their contemporaries the Gap Band) and recorded a final album Am I Still Your Boyfriend in 1984, breaking up later that year. In 1991, Motown released a greatest hits compilation album by the band. A similar version on the 20th Century Masters series released more recently is all that remains in print of this band. Former lead singer Bobby DeBarge died of AIDS-related complications in Grand Rapids, Michigan on August 16, 1995 at age 39. Switch has since reunited, featuring original members founder/leader Williams, Fluellen, Ingram, original sessions/on stage guitarist Michael McGloiry, and new lead vocalist Akili Nickson.
