TMZ has learned R&B sensation El Debarge is currently cooling his dancing shoes in an L.A. County Jail, arrested on Sunday for domestic violence!
Rhymes With Snitch first broke the news of Debarge's arrest. El, whose real name is Eldra, scored major success in 1985 with the hit "Rhythm of the Night." His brother James was briefly married to Janet Jackson, but that marriage was annulled.
Debarge currently sits in a cell, without bail. Wear it well!
UPDATE: TMZ has learned that Debarge is being held on several outstanding warrants ranging from vandalism to drugs to driving with a suspended license. On these particular warrants, bail is not an option -- which means El Debarge will stay behind bars until he sees the judge.

That high pitched butt head needs a smackdown of his own! Getem Boys!
Um ...R&B sensation? Who in the ELL even remembers any of the DeBarges?
Who??? I didn't think they were still around, Rythm of the night tonight!! OUCH
Looks like he'll be finding out "Who's Johnny?". Go Number Five!
SO, HE WAS NOT HOLDING DONNA. JUST SMACKING HER AROUND, THE FOOL!!!
#9: I think that is because Carlos Mencia is in charge of today's content.
Seeing has how he domestically abused Janet - this is not surprising.
It was his brother James that was married to Janet. Not El Dabarge.
If you think Rythym of the Night was the last time he sang, you don't know music.
El sang on Fourplay's jazz remake of a Marvin Gaye song, he sang on a Quincy Jones project, and sang on a DJ Quik colaboration. There must be some old, out of touch people posting on this site.
Good Lord I remember when that song came out (and some of his others) aaaarrrrgggghhh. But hey, back then we were JAMMIN!!! What are you kids these day's have to look back on in another 20 years?
I guess someone's gonna Love [him] in A Special Way tonight. Grrrrrrrrrrowl!
"R&B sensation"???? Harvey-Harvey-Harvey, you're glib. Cut down on the hyperbole. Your readers are not impressionable children.
