3. No, I think Janet was married to one of his brothers (can't remember his name), I might be James. El one was the lead singer of DeBarge which included several of his brothers and sister. I still love that song Rhythm of the Night! They had some great songs back in the 80s.

5. Somehow I imagined this guy to be black. Is he Latino?

Anyway, El's best song ever was actually a vocal he did for smooth jazz supergroup Fourplay, a remake of Marvin Gaye's "After The Dance" that totally blew away the original version. A very close contender would be Quincy Jones' smoldering bedroom smoocher "The Secret Garden", where El performed a four-way vocal tag-team with Barry White, Al B. Sure and James Ingram.

As for his family group, "DeBarge", their best tune was "All This Love", which has aged much better than that ridiculously teeny-boppery "Rhythm Of The Night", a relic of the 80's much better forgotten.

6. #3 you're right she was married to James. Boy, the last 10 or more years have been really cruel to alot of 80's celebs.

9. El Debarge was the lead singer in the 80's group DEBARGE. Rhythm of the night, All this love, Secret Garden, Love Always, Time will reveal, You wear it well, I like it, Love me in a special way, are several of many numerous hits that his brothers and sisters made through the years including him as a solo artist. His mother is Black and father is White. The entire family has had nothing but issues through the years with drug abuse.

15. Don't forget that El Debarge also sang the classic song "Who's Johnny?" (from Short Circuit) and appeared on an episode of the Facts of Life.

Man, he used to be considered one of the hottest guys back in the day. Sad how the loss of fame affects people. Hopefully he can rely on his family and friends to help him through this, with the Lord's help.
