El Debarge in El Slammer!

El DebargeTMZ 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.

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.

"R&B sensation"???? Harvey-Harvey-Harvey, you're glib. Cut down on the hyperbole. Your readers are not impressionable children.
