Best Wishes To El DeBarge
I was extremely saddened when I heard that singer El DeBarge entered drug rehabilitation on Monday. He really seemed like he was on the comeback trail after wasting over a decade of his life on addiction. One of the most gifted singers of his generation, El apparently started using drugs in the late Eighties.

The best thing about Sunday night’s BET Awards? The return of El DeBarge. Looking typically crisp and clean despite his recent incarceration, the singer/songwriter led the crowd through a medley of the hits made famous by his family group DeBarge-“I Like It”, “All This Love”, “Time Will Reveal” and “Rhythm of the Night”. Not only was he hitting impossible falsetto notes without breaking a sweat, but he turned the auditorium into a party with “Rhythm of the Night”, dancing through […]
