Yes he’s so talented, actually the whole family.. My heart breaks when I hear about the struggles they had.. But God is so amazing I love how he will lift u up & make u whole again!!❤❤😢😢
I.mmissing what's so powerful about it, since it's clear many of them never overcame their issues that their (enabling mother) and hateful father cause
Yessssssss Chico's style of musical talent really took the Debarge family by storm. Switch (Bobby & Tommy), Debarge & Chico even El all showcased different styles which made Debarge a great musical family.
Chico actually was on an interview one time and he actually sung an accapella part of Marvin's Gaye song... and it was actually explicit... it's the song where Marvin's talks about orally pleasing his wife... lol I will keep it clean on here... but he had the richness of Marvin...
I agree I just listened to iggin' me , love still good oh no and many more I still listen to that album weekly no guarantee remix yes it was a gem and so was the game in 1999.
Excellent interview Halftime Chat! I can't believe you didn't know they were Black, they look like light skin Black men and women if you look at their facial features and hair textures plus they said they always identified as Black even with a white father. Besides, DeBarge is a French name not Spanish because their father was French and English. El real name is Eldra Patrick DeBarge and Chico real name is Johnathan Arthur DeBarge. Chico was different he had that Neo-Soul voice, and he does have a beautiful falsetto voice when he sings in falsetto. I think a lot people forget Bobby and Chico joined DeBarge when Bunny and El left the group, so Chico can definitely sing high.
I love how you hear chico speak highly of his brothers and family....unlike the Jackson you can tell their is a respect and love there that has not been changed by the business. Janet came off very cold towards Michael in her Documentary. The Jacksons come off very detached from each other.
Stylistically, there is something 'different' about Chico compared to the rest of them. He looks every bit as 'Debarge' as the rest, but in addition to that, he also had a more urban-y/hood aesthetic to him than the others.
El was going to say something... and he changed his mind 1:41 lol.... I know he has alot to say about race...being mixed race....and the issue of race overseas... but he knows better than to open that can of worms. He reminds me of how I have to stop myself mid-thought. Lmao
All the debarges are talented. Unfortunately many of them, Including chico, can stay away from drugs. Even God cant seem to help some of those people. Tragic.

I love you el debarge you are my favorite singer of all time ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I agree that Chico had his own niche separate from the other DeBarges.
For Sure! I was listening to one of his cds & I posted Chico's falsetto hits differently than his brothers.
BLACK women gives birth to all RACES .. GOD you are AMAZING CREATOR.
Love you very much El
Happy to always hear your stories.
Cheers
California 💛
I love Chico DeBarge!!!
El is a great big brother!!! ❤
El / Chico Debarge did an excellent job on writing and producing the long time no see album there is not 1 song I dislike on the cd .
Yes he’s so talented, actually the whole family.. My heart breaks when I hear about the struggles they had.. But God is so amazing I love how he will lift u up & make u whole again!!❤❤😢😢
I love DeBarge. They are such a talented Black family and their life's story is powerful. It's good to see El doing well!

I can’t wait to hear about Chico. I still love his albums “The Game” and “Long Time No See.” 🖤
El is a great story teller, makes me sad when he talks about Bobby there was a bond there❤️
So cool how El talked about Chico, I loved Chico’s music.
Chico is the goat 🐐 ❤️ 👑 love that man his voice is everything no matter how old he gets my favorite song is MISS WONDERFUL 💋
Yessssssss Chico's style of musical talent really took the Debarge family by storm. Switch (Bobby & Tommy), Debarge & Chico even El all showcased different styles which made Debarge a great musical family.
He's right. It definitely works. Chico stands out from his siblings.
Chico is the finest one.
God Bless that Family🙏🏾🦋💗
Waiting on both a new El and Chico album. 👍
Something coming soon 🤫
@@HalftimeChat 🤗
@@HalftimeChat ☺️
@@HalftimeChat I spilled my wine 🤗🤗🤗
Such a talented family 💎 we love you your music is timeless so many favorite songs from each of these guys .
El speaks so highly of his brother, Chico. They have a really great bond. Love it!
I love Chico’s music.
Everyone thinks he’s Puerto Rican, and they say he’s a tenor, but he’s an amazing falsetto. Wikipedia needs to be edited.
Maybe I’m tripping but to me listening to Chico I can hear Marvin Gaye
🔥🔥🔥
I believe he was definitely an inspiration. Chico did remake Trouble Man. And that Addiction album is still heavy rotation for me.
Chico actually was on an interview one time and he actually sung an accapella part of Marvin's Gaye song... and it was actually explicit... it's the song where Marvin's talks about orally pleasing his wife... lol I will keep it clean on here... but he had the richness of Marvin...
@@deonnadyson yes it was an old Angela yee interview. I remember that lol
I agree I just listened to iggin' me , love still good oh no and many more I still listen to that album weekly no guarantee remix yes it was a gem and so was the game in 1999.

🤭 their straight long hair was what threw me
@@HalftimeChat😀That's interesting because none of their hair is straight, it's curly even El's ponytail was curly when you interviewed him.
❤😊
It’s a shame nobody really talks about Chico DeBarge’s 80s albums overlooked
I think his 90s stuff made him mainstream and out of the family shadow
@@HalftimeChat yea I discovered his 80’s material much later but even that stuff I feel he had his own identity from his siblings
I love how you hear chico speak highly of his brothers and family....unlike the Jackson you can tell their is a respect and love there that has not been changed by the business. Janet came off very cold towards Michael in her Documentary. The Jacksons come off very detached from each other.
Love love this
2 things about Chico is he used to live in the Clinton Hills section of Brooklyn and Chico loves reggae music
El debarge is black to me. I always saw debarge as a black family similar to the Jacksons.
I didn't realize until recently
In fact they are not black. There mother is. Sorry I forgot here in US everything is black or white😂😂😂😂 The Jackson’s …yes they are black!
Love u El ♡♡♡

This is great !
Thank you Karen
You gotta get your words out dude! Talk! Lol
Chico is cool, he reminds me of Usher a little. Def has his own sound
🤭
Hello ♥️
El was going to say something... and he changed his mind 1:41 lol.... I know he has alot to say about race...being mixed race....and the issue of race overseas... but he knows better than to open that can of worms. He reminds me of how I have to stop myself mid-thought. Lmao
😂😂😂
They can definitely pass for Puerto Rican
.. but so can the interviewer... Puerto Ricans come in all skin shades
😅😅😅
He also wanted to be sure that I live Puerto ricans 😅
I love iggin me... lol
😂
Tbh I thought they were latino too until I sung their unsung...
🤭😂 thanks for showing that I wasn't the only one 😂
I suggest you read Puerto Rico history.
How so?
i always thought they were creole.
👍🏽
All the debarges are talented. Unfortunately many of them, Including chico, can stay away from drugs. Even God cant seem to help some of those people. Tragic.
Yes! I thought they were Hispanic… and then the nickname Chico would not help😅
Thank you 😅😅😅
