He also shares videos of some of his activities on occasions, giving fans glimpses into his life. Following a Twitter video posted in August , fans appealed to the icon to improve his social media activities by sharing more clips of himself. While trying to maintain an impressive online presence, the music star has kept up with his career, as evident in one of his captions which read:. Having the two music legends in a single photo left fans yearning for the good old days when the duo were somewhat demigods in the music world.
DeBarge has lived through his fair share of tribulations since the onset of his career. From his early years struggling to grow his career as part of the DeBarge singing group, to his highly publicized battle with drug addiction. The singer began his career as the lead singer of the family group, which comprised eight of the ten DeBarge siblings. At the peak of his career, El DeBarge embraced a solo music pursuit. Speaking on his decision to quit the family singing group, he once divulged:.
But it has not always been a smooth ride for the music legend. He experienced one of his lowest points in after getting arrested for drug possession in Los Angeles. Prior to that incident, the year-old singer served over a year in prison for drug abuse, completing his time in He also had several stints in rehab to overcome the habit, which eventually paid off. Notwithstanding, the father-of-twelve lived past the scandals and learned to lead a lifestyle that has left him looking ageless, with no telltale signs of his tumultuous past.
His elder brothers, Bobby and Tommy, found success in the group, Switch, and later brought in their siblings to form DeBarge, signing to Motown Records in The album itself reached number 24 in the Billboard Album Chart and was certified Gold. DeBarge then left Motown, moving to Warner Bros. DeBarge then retreated from making music, falling into drug addiction, a battle which would last over a decade, frequently spending stints in rehab as he tried to overcome his personal issues.
He then went on to perform at the 54th Grammy Awards ceremony in February The El Debarge show was absolutely great! At 55 yrs of age, Eldra is moving and dancing like a 27yrs old man. He would put some of the young artists to shame! I love how he interacted with his fans, especially the ladies He started pulling women on stage to dance eith him and I thought I'd die then. If I had been any clser to that stage, I would've made it my business to dance with him. He talks about making a grown man cry, I would have.
Those women were good sports, but they couldn't keep up wih El's dancing. All she wanted to do was kiss om him. Lol One young lady got up there and shook everything that wasn't nailed down, but what she had shaken, I'm not sure was in the right places.
So El heads off the stage into my direction to dance eith more ladies and got a bit mobbed down there. I then noticed manager, Pete Farmer, come to the rescue pulling El back onto the stage as if he was saying, El what were you thinking of coming off stage into a mob of women by yourself!
LOL It was exciting, and such a phenomenal experience. El sounds great! Still hitting every note spot on. I was determined that if he didn't see me, he would hear me, so I then screamed aloud, "You're a beautiful man El! That really made my night! If I could have gone back to that 2nd show he did at the Birchmere that next night, I would have.
Love the intimacy if the Birchmere. You feel reall3clise to the entertainer. There really wasn't a bad seat in the house. Read more. Report as inappropriate.
Soft, midnight blue envelops the stage, setting a romantic mood. He sways gently back and forth, occasionally waving his arms to encourage his audience to sing along with the chorus. His soft, smooth voice melds with those of the back up singers, and the jazzy tunes coming from the drums, guitar, piano, and horn have the audience swaying along to the beat.
He has done extensive work in the music industry, both solo and in collaboration with other artists, including his brothers. His first album, El DeBarge, was released in He has also released multiple singles. El DeBarge's sonorous falsetto has been celebrated for generations, and will continue to be loved by many for years to come. The show was a pm venue Show started at approximately pm. El came on with energy and enthusiasm. His voice was sharp and in rare form. Which you would expect from him.
Now my problem is that I believe this venue doesn't do him justice. The show was too short Ended around Only an hour? Because there was another act after him? Felt Forum? I would have liked to have seen him as the major act, the headliner. A lot of people were disappointed with the show ending so soon after waiting in line for hours and starting late.
I don't know who's at fault but I wouldn't go to BB King's again for such a short show. Give the brother his props. A Larger venue, and Top Billing. At least 2 hours! He's Earned It! He can draw the big crowds trust me! Thanks for letting me share my thoughts. He didn't show up, and no formal explanation was given. I was so disappointed. I traveled from N.
I still love El, but my first impression of attending a concert with him as a headliner has been tainted. Well,I still haven't seen Mr. DeBarge, live yet.
