    El DeBarge and his late brother Bobby DeBarge (from Switch) are two of the greatest falsetto’s in the last 50+ years. Both amazing.

    I have always had a soft spot for El DeBarge, and the DeBarge Family. So blessed with talent. He was performing at Bal Theatre some years ago. I bought a plane ticket, flew from San Diego to Oakland, took a Lyft to Hayward to the rented a hotel room for the night and paid for front row tickets (great seating there!). He's an excellent performer...that night they said he wasn't feeling well. The only damper was that the meet & greet was cancelled. A couple of mos. later, he came to Music Box in San Diego. I went to see him, and I was not disappointed. He was singing in my direction...Wow. I definitely will try to see him perform again. Great stage presence!
