I don't remember this one but I like it better than all their other songs because it's funkier. The first time I remember hearing DeBarge was in 1982.

The first time I heard DeBarge was in 1982,...the single "Stop! Don't Tease Me",which was their very first single,if I'm not mistaken.

The first song I remember was "I Like It" but the song title you mentioned sounds familiar.

This was released when Motown didn't know what to do with them. I think Jermaine produced this...

After about a year, they gave the family (mainly El) and Iris Gordy the production on the next record, the one where people really got to know them (1982).

So, they released no singles from their first album??

They put out "What's Your Name" from the first album. Now that I think about it, that IS El on "Strange Romance" (he was only 19, 20 at the time). "What's Your Name" was sung by Randy (and El).

That album never went to Cd either and I think the version of "Share My World" is a lil' bit different (production wise) than the version heard on the compilation cds. Script had mentioned this once and she was right.

Yeah they are. Same with "Queen of My Heart" (which was re-issued on "In a Special Way").

No, Motown did issue this on cd in the late 80s/early 90s. I have seen it a few times in used cd stores. I used to have it at one time, but I can't find it to save my life.

Yeah, it's hard to determine which of them is singing lead sometimes. I just always imagine it's El, even if it's Randy. lol

Does anyone have this in high quality MP3 format? lol I can't find this track anywhere, unless I pay $80 for the album on Amazon, which is not happening, lol.
