I was blessed to see El perform live in Dallas 11 years ago. El had originally planned to sing to pre-recorded music taped, but due to technical difficulty, El had to improvise and play the electric keyboard piano the entire event. New found respect for El and one of the best live concerts I ever attended.
Boy! When these fellas fall publicly, it's extra hard! but my boy did his come back with Grace, and Style! You get so low sometimes, only God can come get you! At least El decided he'd allow Him!
El is a true miracle. Crack usually destroys your appearance, the way you sound and think...everything. He looks fabulous, healthy etc; The outside can be cleaned up with stylists and so forth. But there is no make-up for the voice. His voice is not ravaged at all. It is pure and crystal clear. He's better than he has ever been. I cried when he sang. Love you El you are a gift.
5 women 12 kids. 3:35 Why say that? Why say 5 women? what value did that add? That woman is a top doughnut! His voice is truly timeless! God heal his family
The entire Debarge family was a gift from God. I am so sorry for the physical and sexual abuse they suffered and ultimately it affected their lives with drug addiction. I will always love them, the entire Debarge family is in my prayers at all times. God is love
Here is a small list of some of El Debarge's best compositions that he wrote by himself: 1. Broken Dreams 2. Somebody Loves You 3. Time Will Reveal 4. Rhythm Of The Night 5. I Like It 6. All This Love 7. Someone 8. Cross My Heart 9. Who Is Holding Donna Now 10. Real Love
OMG, I hope El DeBarge can do interviews now without people bringing up his past. OMG, get over it. He's back and we're glad and want to hear him sing. PERIOD.
What an awesome performance! El comes through so genuine...no lip synching, special effects, dubbing, going on there. Just El and the piano. We all need to pray for him. Pray that he continues on the road of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Praise God for giving him a Second Chance!!
Every interview he does, they have to bring up his past. This man knows what he's been through and it seems like no one wants him to forget it. I think people look at him, still looking great, still sounding great and want to bring him down a peg or two. It probably makes them feel better about their own miserable lives. Just let the man get on with his life already! Damn!
YOu know I thought that when I came across this film footage. I did know about the Debarge drugs thing but didnt know it was HIM. Let the man get on. - his stuff is out there, what about the other peoples we dont know! Let him live. Wow what talent! And he plays piano. Those notes... the highs and lows...Im so jealous....lol And he's older than me! Damn. So good!
or you could look at it as......let me be up front about my past and admit my mistakes myself. That way, no one is pitching dirt on you. You the artist are using your past to help others who may be about to go down that slippery slope. After all, the album name is "A Second Chance". Peace & Love.
@@lisatillett4960 your weird why would you think about looks when it comes to his children? Do you look great? Gtfoh that family has been through enough bye. They don't need looks and talents to get through life they can have any other qualities
I love the way El answered! Such a SWEET and genuine man. His answers were full of hope, inspiration. His voice was so full of truth, like he meant what he said. The honesty, genuine nature El has IS MISSING IN TODAY'S ENTERTAINERS if we can even call most of them that! There will always be mean, bad-spirited people! This was the time to celebrate what he overcame! We all have and will have struggles! Some of ours will be harder and I'm so happy that God blessed him and his siblings to overcome. And I hope that the discouraging words others have tried to use against his siblings and him are forgotten. I hope he doesn't believe and care for their pessimistic intents!
Thank you! He seems to be a perceptive man. Patient, trusting and maybe too nice for most of this world. Strong but trusting of the lies of this world. We can't be too open to this world's attention. There is always someone waiting to hurt us. :(
Bobby DeBarge’s spirit is singing through El.. b/c they both sound exactly the same.. I miss this talented group 😞 glad El is still here with us.. what a beautiful soul & humbled guy..
El has so much feeling in his voice. It is surreal and not many artists cannot touch this emotion. What a gift....What a voice. Forgot to say , he is so handsome. reminds me of Clark Gable here.
Why in the hell would elizabeth bring up the fact that he had twelve kids and five baby mothers? It's not like he didn't know this already..that was a very! Cut-throat remark..dang!!!!!!!!!!
Damn he looks better now than when he was young! He’s got that old world style look! He’s sounds better too amazing talent love their falsettos in this family
What El said is sincere and something I never heard. He said he felt he'd only try it once. Wow that was deep. We love u El. You're my mom's fav singer and your family is LEGENDARY.
God is a Keeper, I did not know that this man was so broken, when he sang to us back in the day, but look what the Lord has done for him...Love you, Mr. Debarge! May God continue to be your Keeper!
During an interview, is it really necessary to constantly speak about the past hurts. Yes he did drugs. Yes he was arrested. SO WHAT?!!! Drop it and let it go. If God forgives and remembers our sins no more, why can't we? Why keep harping on it? That's all everybody talks about. This man has suffered, still suffering, and is on the road to recovery. Leave him alone. Geez. El your fans love you dearly. Keep pushing on my brother. I'm so proud of you. This is a great song and it touches and will continue to touch many, myself included. This had me crying. I'm so thankful to God for a second chance. Keep blessing us El and we will keep listening. God bless you.
This man’s voice you would know if you could never see who it was. He is a true soilder of GOD and you feel his fight in his songs. He sounds as good today as when he first came on the music scene. Forever love this man.
Sang Baby Boy! I love you El your undeniable musical legacy will never die. Second Chance is my favorite song of yours! Not to mention your style and grace. Who out there in 2023 still with and listening to Eli?
This is music, what we don't have anymore. That's why Beyonce and all the others keep sampling his music. Don't give up El, we all fall. It's just learning get back up.
People love a come back story. His past helped him to grow. He has a brother who didn't make it, died. I love the entire family. Thank you Mama Debarge, your family went through some very hard times (watch Unsung Debarge). Thank you for bringing all of your talented children into this world and giving us good music.
I just adore this man. I am so happy that he has given his life to the Lord. God has truly blessed him to maintain his good looks, hos beautiful heart and his angelic voice through it all, your still here El, Thank you.
He's resurrecting the OLD standard of music.. And shame, shame, on that white chick to ask or reference to his relationship with his children. Its been a LONG LONg time since I've seen someone so honest as to say " I smoked crack. I picked up the pipe thinking I'd put it down, but got caught up." This is one stellar guy..Yes, he should be thankful that he still has his pipes, but I really think he knows how blessed he is...
YES why the hell would she say that shit???? 5 women and 12 kids. who the fuck cares!!! HE"S ALIVE!!!! I'm sure he and God are working things out regarding his relationships with his children!!!
jennine415 Pretty sure that interview questions are discussed and decided by staff, the writers, the network people. She looked uncomfortable even asking. At the end of the day, the bottom line is what is going to bring the ratings. And I doubt that it was her idea to ask those questions.
El's celebrity was so bright in their early career the 12 children doesn't surprise me as a matter a fact, that's it? El was sing the drawers off of chicks. That's the truth... you see Sheri is absolutely thrilled to have El on The show. Great job El and Sheri.
Simply beautiful! El we need more of your beautiful voice to grace the earth. Your voice makes my ❤ melt. The De Barge family is truly loved by all the fans. God bless and prayers for you all.
El, you're such a beautiful person inside and out. You're a talented singer, pianist and composer. You have so much to offer and I hope you continue with this gift you were blessed with 🙏🏽❤️✝️
He's only human, so his children should give him a second chance, third, fourth, --however many. They only have one father, and once he's gone, that's it. Love him thru the good and bad. Love you El... and God bless
Tay W. The children are not to blame, it's no telling what he did while on drugs, your not the child that had to live with him, also children are not adults, they don't understand, they can't reason like adults, they have the anger and pain that will take years to go thru, those are the consequences of bad parenting whether thru neglect or abuse, it takes time to forgive
I cried when he sung this song. I can feel his pain. Don't give up EL! We love you! Never let your circumstances define you, you must control your circumstance, you are the master of your destiny.
El sounds so emotional singing this song - I can feel every struggle, letdowns, am I gonna make through...and by the grace of God El is still with us with his incredible melodic and powerful voice we know so well - love 'n light Brotha El
I'm glad for him and the siblings. The family has endured so much adversity. He's looking and sounding great. I didn't know he was an accomplished pianist as well.
Reading this Oct 2019, 3 years later, and all I can say is Heck yes! Coincidently I’m watching his videos while reading Gone With the Wind these past days, and I can’t seem to get that same thought out of mind 😅
Elmo M I know I felt the questions were disrespectful. They didn't haven't to be so scandalous with there questions. They should have focused on the music. I think El handled it well though.
I can see that Sherri was a fan. She couldn't stop smiling and googling at him, admiring him. She asked nice, engaging questions. It is horrible seeing the other woman smirking while asking those questions. I can tell that she was trying to hurt him.
I was a teen in the 80's & I loved the Debarges & their music!!🎶🎶🎶 EL still looks good, he's very humble & still has a very beautiful voice! God has blessed him & his family in spite of everything🙏🙏💒💒
This video is making me cry.All this Love,is one of my favorite Debarge songs.His family is so talented.He looks humble,calm & grounded.I wish his continued success.He's one of my top 5,favorite singers! He's a special person.I like his musical & personal style.El,stay around positive folks & take 1 day,at a time.The Most High,has plans for you.
Still watching this FABULOUS performance July 2020. What a blessing to hear him sing like that!! I have been a fan of his from his very first hit song to this very day. MAY THE GOOD LORD CONTINUE TO BLESS HIM NOW AND ALWAYS !!!! 🙏🏿🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
God always listens to a mother's prayer. So good to know he had mercy and gave you a 2nd chance to see wht you always been worth . I love listening to you ,you make LOVE stay ALIVE!!!
El you are classy. Always give God the praise. Amen. God always looks passed our faults and sees our needs. Love you, brother. God has already healed you. You are healed by the stripes of Jesus.
This song makes me cry everytime I hear it. Just to know him and his family's struggles and to hear the pain, transparency and sincerity in his infectious voice is simply beautiful😍Love you El!❤
Amen My Brother Its all good to tell the truth of our past. The past will become our great asset. We will not wish to close the door on it. We do not hide from it. When we live that life style we do much damage. We have no idea what we even caused. The good news is we are not alone. We can become blessed IF we are willing to put the work in it . Wishing you all thebest my brother on your 2nd chance
One of my favorite performances. Such true talent both singing and playing the piano effortlessly. So happy we have a "Second Chance" to love and support him which is long overdue. Love you El
People want to treat us like our kids are bugs or some sort of goo to be scraped off the bottom of our shoes. But it's our job to let the world know that we love our children. And they mean the world to us. El acknowledged his children. That will mean something to them and to him and to the rest of his family. They are his legacy to the earth after he leaves it. LOVE YOU EL.
I love the way you sing are way beyond awsome god gifted you with an awsome voice god is with you in everything you do we love you Christ rules always and forever amen!!!:):):)
No auto-tune. No voiceover. A gift from God, and True talent. Bless him Lord. Sing El!!!!!
I was blessed to see El perform live in Dallas 11 years ago. El had originally planned to sing to pre-recorded music taped, but due to technical difficulty, El had to improvise and play the electric keyboard piano the entire event.

YOU CAN HAVE A SECOND AND A THIRD CHANCE AND FOURTH CHANCE. DONT GIVE UP. WE STILL LOVE YOU!!!!!
Amen
Boy! When these fellas fall publicly, it's extra hard! but my boy did his come back with Grace, and Style! You get so low sometimes, only God can come get you! At least El decided he'd allow Him!
How sweet
Yep. I heard that he relapsed after the album but..but recovered again... One good thing about God... He gives you many chances. Love this guy!
22 years of addiction and still sounding this beautiful. That is a blessing. It takes most people's talent away.
stonedog23 Sometimes he sounds like Michael Jackson...briefly. El is Legend.
stonedog23 he is hot damn
Stonedog23, exactly!
Hard work beats talent. That's why he can keep going
@@blacksharkswimmer3729 I totally agree
When you look at him you cant do anything but SMILE!-Beautiful spitrit!
That's it 😊
So true!!!

His main drug of choice was H. But he is will always be one of my all time favorite
Faith, in the living God & mother love. He is so fine and do deserving.
Hey El, do your thing.
so well said.
It’s 2023 he’s still struggling!
5 women 12 kids. 3:35 Why say that? Why say 5 women? what value did that add? That woman is a top doughnut! His voice is truly timeless! God heal his family
Yinka Lune Thank you. My sentiments exactly. Glad she's the hell out off there
Elizabeth is a fake christian. She was passing judgement but where is she now?
so irrelevant...just wrong!
Sad thing is that twat has no idea what he and his siblings have gone through since birth smh. Praying for this legend to succeed
I totally agree she is a doughnut.
The entire Debarge family was a gift from God. I am so sorry for the physical and sexual abuse they suffered and ultimately it affected their lives with drug addiction. I will always love them, the entire Debarge family is in my prayers at all times. God is love
This is for sure!
Amen
Well said. My sentiments exactly. Prayers continually up for the DeBarge Family.
Yes exactly... The SYLVERS too,let's wish ALL of them a brighter future and blessings to come...
I love you El.
El seems like a very humble and kind person. Hopefully he will not give up in his fight.
He's coming back strong too!😊💕
Right!
No he won't give up the fight. Neither will God.
He handled her comment the right way with ease responding in earnest which nullified any negativity which I couldn't say with confidence she intended

Keep up the good fight, sir!
God bless you keep strong sir you got this🙏
I pray your strength in the Lord.

Doesn't El's voice reach your soul & make you feel so good inside... I cried the first time I heard "second chance"...
Me too. Its such a beautiful song sung byna beautiful man.
I love him
Me too!

You are dead on. he handled Elizabeth salty conservative butt like the Pro he is Tho! Our man didn't flinch.
Lisa Crosley Great point!
Because the song and album is called 'Second Chance'. And he had just gotten out of prison. Would you rather she ask him about politics or sports?
I don't care about anything but his voice and he sounds awesome still. Well done El
rob S I care that he remains happy and healthy more than another CD.
All those kids and I would bet none of them has his looks .or talent sad.

Sang Baby Boy! I love you El your undeniable musical legacy will never die. Second Chance is my favorite song of yours! Not to mention your style and grace. Who out there in 2023 still with and listening to Eli?
This is music, what we don't have anymore. That's why Beyonce and all the others keep sampling his music. Don't give up El, we all fall. It's just learning get back up.
why are they diggin up his past..damn like people cant change.....
People love a come back story. His past helped him to grow. He has a brother who didn't make it, died. I love the entire family. Thank you Mama Debarge, your family went through some very hard times (watch Unsung Debarge). Thank you for bringing all of your talented children into this world and giving us good music.
shaunda king El doesn't really mind taking about his past issues with drugs but I agree that there are more tactful ways of asking a question.
It's he's testimony
It was a segway to his his new CD, "Second Chance."
Absolutely gorgeous and there is only ! other I'd say that about. He has aged well!!
Please stay with us El. Love you so much. You are an amazing singer songwriter and humble man. Keep on fighting the good fight.💕
That voice has not changed a bit
elendil eleassar Sounds great.
Told y'all El
was unstoppable.
Humble Gentleman

Thanks for bringing
this voice back to our culture! Team El Debarge4-life!
He didn’t fail anyone in the audience. That voice is pristine. Hope he won’t fail his loved ones of himself anymore. Bless you EL❤
That was terrible interviewing, but El answered like a professional with poise and grace. Wishing him the best in his second chance 😍
I agree. This interview was cringe to watch. He's human
Yes it was . He’s so well spoken . ❤
The view will ask anything. The interviewee has to stop them dead in their tracks, check them
Wow!!! That was beautiful! I am so happy he is back!

Simply beautiful! El we need more of your beautiful voice to grace the earth. Your voice makes my ❤ melt. The De Barge family is truly loved by all the fans. God bless and prayers for you all.
That man has some pipes! I remember listening to him as a teen and he hasnt lost any of his talent whatsoever. The man is raw talent.
He's so humble, grateful, sincere and warm hearted! Wowww!!! Beautiful song...
El, you're such a beautiful person inside and out. You're a talented singer, pianist and composer. You have so much to offer and I hope you continue with this gift you were blessed with 🙏🏽❤️✝️
He's only human, so his children should give him a second chance, third, fourth, --however many. They only have one father, and once he's gone, that's it. Love him thru the good and bad. Love you El... and God bless

I'm glad for him and the siblings. The family has endured so much adversity. He's looking and sounding great. I didn't know he was an accomplished pianist as well.
El we love you. You are a unique talent. Of course you have a second chance!
Time for El to take that Rhett Butler role in a remake of "Gone with the Wind" :-)
Reading this Oct 2019, 3 years later, and all I can say is Heck yes! Coincidently I’m watching his videos while reading Gone With the Wind these past days, and I can’t seem to get that same thought out of mind 😅
Alondra Jimenez yes he looks a lot like Clark Gable the older he gets. Very handsome.
Hmm he would be great soooo yummy 😋😘
El is a black man why would take such role 🤦🏽♀️
@@keishahills58 Because as he ages, he's definitely starting to bear a striking resemblance to Clark Gable. Surely you noticed that, here?
Why they're asking stupid questions about his past drugs addiction... he got help and he moved on to a better path God put him on
Elmo M
I know I felt the questions were disrespectful. They didn't haven't to be so scandalous with there questions. They should have focused on the music. I think El handled it well though.
+eletric .lady
A recovering addict wants to talk about it! Its healing and part of the recovering process; so theres less hiding.
I can see that Sherri was a fan. She couldn't stop smiling and googling at him, admiring him. She asked nice, engaging questions. It is horrible seeing the other woman smirking while asking those questions. I can tell that she was trying to hurt him.
I love this guy, his voice, his music!!! Stay strong El❤️

Its all good to tell the truth of our past. The past will become our great asset. We will not wish to close the door on it. We do not hide from it. When we live that life style we do much damage. We have no idea what we even caused. The good news is we are not alone. We can become blessed IF we are willing to put the work in it . Wishing you all thebest my brother on your 2nd chance
So Beautifully Written
We love you El! Glad to see so many people coming back to revisit this talented man. A true artist!!!
He still sounds AMAZING!!
One of my favorite performances. Such true talent both singing and playing the piano effortlessly. So happy we have a "Second Chance" to love and support him which is long overdue. Love you El
He made me cry.
I love him! His grace and humility is so inspiring.
People want to treat us like our kids are bugs or some sort of goo to be scraped off the bottom of our shoes. But it's our job to let the world know that we love our children. And they mean the world to us. El acknowledged his children. That will mean something to them and to him and to the rest of his family. They are his legacy to the earth after he leaves it. LOVE YOU EL.
I broke down and cried hearing him, feeling so much in his eyes and voice.
He sure did sing them out those panties, lol. Very nice, honest, and gentle man.
