El Debarge comes from a large family that was out way before him which was signed to Motown in the 70's called Switch. So Do the Math.

Didn't P have a song called "Real Love"? (lol)..I remember seeing that clip on Arsenio back then and El did his thing. Was that his brother singing backup?

P and El supposedly wrote a song together back in the early 90's so they're probably cool w/ one another. Good to hear that El straightened out some personal things in his life and is back to playing music.

What fucking style did El DeBarge have to steal?
And why did you choose this lame piece of shit for a comparison of styles between the two?
That shit was God awful.

Real Love was newjack swing-ish; nothing like Prince. It just had a phat bass line.

It doesn't matter who started making music first as we all know Prince has switched styles many times and borrowed from many people, although I'm not implying that this was one of those cases.

Bobby (R.I.P.) could sing circles around El and Prince.

After seeing the clip I knew you did, seeing him bat his eyes and all that.
I'm surprised he didn't fall sliding around doing that James Brown dance he was doing. lol

Everytime I hear the name "DeBarge", I sadly can really only associate it with the likes of "Chico DeBarge" who tried his way into the nineties and failed.....badly. lol I also heard something about the guy beating a woman he was once with and serving some time for it. I mean, his voice was pretty good, I guess. But, he didn't get anywhere with his career.

Chico served time for drugs not beating some broad and he had a nice comeback album in 1998 with Long Time No See, since then he's had 2 follow-up albumns to little fanfare.
