It's not Italian in the least. Not one to encourage gambling, but I'd lay my money on the father being of French ancestry  Oh ok... (((makes note to re-edit their Wikipedia page to include "African-American AND French-Canadian descent")))...  | |

Never-mind, it's French-American... I wonder if one of y'all edited it. 
How dare someone say they were half Puerto-Rican when VIBE made it perfectly clear they weren't Hispanic.  | |

On her myspace there's a really intense audio recording of her testimony as given during a church service  , she admits she was high the ENTIRE time they had a music career. She said she started out as a teeneger being a flower child doing the drugs associated with that, but once they got famous she did everything under the sun, eventually ended up on heroin  I used to speak with Bunny all the time.. lets just say she made Britney Spears or Lindsay Lohan sound like Hilary Clinton #SOCIETYDEFINESU | |

Yeah I was about to say I think Bobby contracted AIDS through an infected needle he was using, I think, after he was released from jail. I believe Chico has stated his brother contracted the fatal disease while behind bars. And yeah their father was an asshole from what I heard. Where is this coward hiding? I'd like to give him a good shake! | |

They need Jesus. The devil is puttin' a workin' on this family. Are they trying to put Eldra away for life (3 strikes)?
Think on this altered lyric from "All This Love:" "as the sun has its place up in the sky i love God so dearly and all the same there's no need to wonder why I need God; please hear me..." | |

"Baby, that was much too fast"...Goodnight dear sweet Prince. I'll love you always | |

Mama Debarge's book finally came out 2 weeks ago. I received and read mine on this past Saturday and she answers most of your questions here about her first husband Robert DeBarge Sr. What started out as a wonderful love story turned into a nighmare almost immediately after the marriage. Mama D put up with a lot of abuse and I have a lot of respect for that. Please remember, that was a different era when women felt they needed a man to keep a roof over their head and to keep and clothe a house full of kids.
But she left with her kids the *same day* she finally found out from from little Bobby that Daddy was molesting Little Bunny! I encourage you all to read her inspirational story. It can be purchased online. See www.mamadebarge.com for details. You won't regret the purchase. So is the October issue of Vibe is out already? I am not a fan of the magazine but would like to purchase this one to read the DeBarge article. Thanks for listening http://oldschoolmusiclove...press.com/ [Edited 9/5/07 21:47pm] | |

[Edited 9/5/07 22:00pm] I never knew they had these issues - drugs did a number on them. I always thought they were like the Cosby TV family. | |

I don’t read Vibe either but I think it’s out on the stands now. I just found the article through their web site. Been gone for a minute, now I'm back with the jump off | |

All the Debarges have such great voices. El's mugshot is even sadder to see.  -- He has 10 children-wow!
[Edited 8/30/07 14:15pm] 10 kids? Egads!  RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |
