El Debarge Prepares New Album For Fall Release

June 29, 2010
Sunday night's 2010 BET Awards had no shortage of surprising, thrilling and emotional moments.
But perhaps the most pleasantly surprising moment of the evening came when El DeBarge graced the stage for a run through some of his biggest hits.
The R&B legend — whose signature falsetto buoyed such smashes as "Who's Johnny" and "Stop! Don't Tease Me" — returned to the public eye after a long absence to tear through a medley of massive tunes from his back catalog (mostly with his family band DeBarge).
His mini-concert included "All This Love" (one of the group's earliest hits, later sampled on Da Brat's "Ghetto Love"), "Time Will Reveal" (another big hit later covered by the likes of Blackstreet, Boyz II Men and Janelle Monae) and the classic "Rhythm of the Night," which was not only a giant hit for the group (it peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped the R&B chart) but was also the first big smash for legendary songwriter Diane Warren (also responsible for such hits as Toni Braxton's "Un-Break My Heart" and Aerosmith's "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing").
2010 could end up being the year of El DeBarge, as the singer is set to release his first album of new material since 1994 this fall with the aptly-titled Second Chance.
In the interim, he has clearly made an impact on the hip-hop community, as has collaborated with the likes of DJ Quik and the RZA on various projects while getting his comeback together.

I cannot wait for this album. It was the best surprise of the show when he turned around and started singing. Absolutely awesome moment. It was the FIRST good moment of the show to that point, and the only good moment until the Prince tribute with Janelle, Esperanza, Patti, and whatshername. | |

A man 50 yrs & up who is still hot, youthful acting & looking & who can still pull young chicks if he wanted to. Well El I think is 49 so he has 1 year until he officially gets that title. I see why he's got 10 + kids

El shocked the shit out of everybody!
He was WORKING it the other night!!!! My phone instantly started ringing the moment he opened his mouth. My sister and a couple of my girls were just fooling over El!
He's still got it and I'm so glad to see he still knows what to do with it! Looking very forward to his new album.
Here's the video, in case anyone missed it.
I knew from the start that I loved you with all my heart. | |

Since El's cd is coming out in September-will it still be eligible for Grammy nominations? "Lack of home training crosses all boundaries." | |

Yeah. This year, the cut-off date for eligibility is Sept 30. | |

He sounded the same or better. Looked hot as hell. I jumped up off the couch and my laptop almost fell to the floor. "Let love be your perfect weapon..." ~~Andy Biersack | |

Did anyone notice El was dancing with Cora when he went into the audience in the front row? Intelligent people talk about ideas. -->Average people talk about things. --> Small people talk about other people. | |

Who is Cora? "Lack of home training crosses all boundaries." | |

Cora Dunham...Prince's drummer for the past five years? Intelligent people talk about ideas. -->Average people talk about things. --> Small people talk about other people. | |

Cora (whoever she is) and the rest of the ladies in the front couldn't or didn't wanna dance with the Brotha. What's up with this, Black folks scared to break a lil sweat or get a groove?
Even so, nice clip thanks for posting. H.H. | |
