'80's pop star El DeBarge was popped again -- this time allegedly for possession of a controlled substance.
TMZ has learned the singer was arrested in L.A. earlier this month, and locked up after cops discovered two warrants for his arrest.
El DeBarge -- real name Patrick Eldra DeBarge -- was nailed on several charges last year, ranging from vandalism to drugs and domestic violence.
Patrick is being held without bail and is due back in court tomorrow.

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.

#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.

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.

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.
