I love this man from the beginning. I grew in the early 60’s to now. And the first time I heard him sing. I knew he and the rest of his siblings were just that good. So glad he is headed in the right direction. Such a sweet and beautiful man.
I found absolutely fascinating to hear El talk about his songwriting his connection with his family musically. It's an amazing time. I will always be fascinated with Debarge. I love u El. You have the most amazing voice.
God inspires the DeBarge Family's music. They are respected by many singer-songwriters and musicians who are amazed by their gifts. I'm glad that El is taking complete responsibility for his drug use here. That's the first step of healing/deliverance that many people skip! I pray that God keeps him and his family saved because they have powerful testimonies of His grace (Bobby included!).
El Debarge, and his family are so talented..They all seem, to be very humble..Its like, they can't believe how much people genuinely, love them and their musical talents. but we do love them. They are a Beautiful family, both inside and out. May, God continue to Bless them all...Much, Respect and Love for you, El and the whole Debarge Family!!!
El looking happy & healthy. A rare unique talent that star faded too soon. Please stay clean.. U created some timeless classics. Ur not and won't be forgotten
Thanks for sharing this. For 1, I didn't know Brian had/has a show; and 2, it is just a different kind of interview when a great musician, a real musician, interviews somebody else of his calibre. Just a different vibe, respect and way of relating.
El Debarge and Brian McKnight are awesome. Thanks for your show Brian. I have brothers and hearing this interview makes my heart crumble in two. I sing, my brothers sing and we need to learn from the great singers and their life circumstances. Thanks for uploading it.
El, it's to good to see you back; healthy, happy and still lookin good, baby : ) I've prayed and am still praying for you. I was with you while you were away. I would watch the calendar and say El has 6 more months to go. El has 3 more months to go. I was counting down just like you were. Also, thanks for giving Bobby props too. I love me some Bobby, too. I love all the DeBarges, but, Bobby has always had my heart. I'm so looking forward to seeing and hearing more from you. I love you, Baby.
El is so humble and he knows where his strength comes from. I applaud him for accepting God's love and moving forward with his life. His family surely had their trials and tribulations and they are further proof to God's love.
I remember this. Before watching this, I didn't even know El was back. Neither did I know he was doing drugs or in prison but 22 years removed from the hell and back, he's living his life.
I know in my heart soul and spirit praise God you mean what you say .I'm gonna say it again no weapon formed against you and your love ones shall prosper God has always been with you and always will .love you and family .🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍🍇🍇🍇🍌🍌🍌🍌🍋🍋🍋🍉🍉🍎🍎🥥🥥🥥🍓

Lol when i heard i like it 4 the 1st time i would play that song over & over all day long keep up the good work el God is calling u ....just like i hear God calling me but b4 we leave this side God have work 4 us 2 do thats why we're still here standing strong ...God bless u & ur fam neva give up we have wrk 2 do!!!!😇🙏👆🙌💪✨🌟👍👌✌❤💚💜💙
El and Bobby were both blessed with gifted musical ability, but El remain in your beautiful gift and in God's path and I hope you'll win the Grammy Award on 02-12-12. Blessings. 01-28-12.
6:11 I needed some 'time out of mind'....wow. Song title of "Steely Dan" hit...describing addiction I finally discovered while researching the songwriters and their private life struggle with friends who'd O.D.'d and addicted..so many in that industry may make $$ for awhile, but a "DeLorean" type move didn't work for John either, memory recalls...glad he made it through though. Sure it was quite the struggle to find himself authentically. So worth it, IMHO. Old interview, I know...hope he's still doing OK, 2020...a Corona year to remember one day...
You & EL should do something I know you worked with Chico on when can I see you again on The Game album it’s 2021 get it 2 of my favorite male vocalist 💯🎼🎤
The best song i have EVER heard El de Barge sing , is the Andre Crouch classic " The Lord is my light " ...alongside the Clarke sisters... He has sung some amazing songs but this one is my favourite
Brian, El and I got one thing in common: We're all Geminis! El was born on 4th June, Brian was born on 5th June, and I was born on 18th June! (split by 2 weeks from El's birthday!)
I did a autobiography on el u talking about pretty kids omg gorgeous 12 children kee up the good work el God Bless you & ur family grew up on ur music el God gave u a 2nd chance please el continue 2 do well!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏
I LOVE El DeBarge's energy and spirit. He is so humble and sincere.
So beautiful how Brian shows love and respect to him.
Wonderful interview with genuine respect and admiration. Thank you Bryan. Thank you El. God bless you El especially for giving the Lord the glory 🙏
El Debarge is so humble. Amazing with such a troubled past life that he and his siblings had they were able to recover so well.
locadisa He's learned to be humble and too not "Be too big for his britches".
When El talked about Bobby his face lights up u can tell his big bro was his world.
I just love the way Brian and El have genuine respect there.
I love this man from the beginning. I grew in the early 60’s to now. And the first time I heard him sing. I knew he and the rest of his siblings were just that good. So glad he is headed in the right direction. Such a sweet and beautiful man.
I feel for El. It will take him and The Almighty working together to keep his demons from holding him down. Just don't give up.
He won't!!
Is it just me or El’s talking voice really has a semblance to Michael Jackson’s: tiny, soft, and sincere.
Remember the Debarges and Jacksons are close😊
He's been that way since a kid! Can't help it...
El's voice is soft but deeper than Michael's.
Yes! That's what I love the most about his voice 😍
I found absolutely fascinating to hear El talk about his songwriting his connection with his family musically. It's an amazing time. I will always be fascinated with Debarge. I love u El. You have the most amazing voice.
He sure is beautiful!
Amen Lol
He's whut u call a pretty boy!!!
Yeah 😂
Did you hear anything that he SAID, though?!
gurllll yessss
A beautiful soul doesn’t always have all the answers... clearly a gifted & spiritual man.
Brian did a great job with this interview
El’s love for his brother is so sincere. ❤️❤️❤️

I love these 2 guys as music professionals. They have both played a great musical role in everyone's heart in the 80's, 90's, 2000's, 2010 plus now.
El Debarge, and his family are so talented..They all seem, to be very humble..Its like, they can't believe how much people genuinely, love them and their musical talents. but we do love them.

El looking happy & healthy. A rare unique talent that star faded too soon. Please stay clean.. U created some timeless classics. Ur not and won't be forgotten
“I feel brand new” love that praise God
All you can do is take it one day at a time. I am glad to see El comeback. The Debarge family such a great talent.
Thanks for sharing this. For 1, I didn't know Brian had/has a show; and 2, it is just a different kind of interview when a great musician, a real musician, interviews somebody else of his calibre. Just a different vibe, respect and way of relating.
El Debarge is beautiful
These two geniuses.
Most beautiful singers have a very melodious speaking voice too, so nice.
Thank God! Stay the course El! God bless and keep you!!!
you can see the positive energy I think he is really back for good
I love his Spirit. It just evokes from the interviews and the shows. I would love to see him in person. Keep up the great work!
Time will reveal is being loved in 2014 cause it still has meaning!!
Allison Brooks I'm rediscovering the song. Like El, I didn't necessarily like the song either.
I have so much love and respect for both these men and their music.
Look at God!👑👑❤️😃🙌🙏🏻

God bless n keep this angelic talent! Love him!❤
Amazing how the Debarges created songs that were dropped into their lap from Heaven
I remember this. Before watching this, I didn't even know El was back. Neither did I know he was doing drugs or in prison but 22 years removed from the hell and back, he's living his life.
Thats so sad to know that his Father was a no good Man to do that 2 anyone...but ur own kids his Father will pay !!!!!💋love u el
Love both of em
I know in my heart soul and spirit praise God you mean what you say .I'm gonna say it again no weapon formed against you and your love ones shall prosper God has always been with you and always will .love you and family .🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍🍇🍇🍇🍌🍌🍌🍌🍋🍋🍋🍉🍉🍎🍎🥥🥥🥥🍓
@CharR... Yep... as soon as he said "Geeked up"... the first thing that came to my mind was Detroit.
El was born and raised in the "D".
He's so beautiful here. El I mean.
El is a genius.
I love you El
You are awesome. God bless you

aww im glad to see u back in stride again, El!
Family is the key for DeBarge. If they get it together, El will have it again, and so will
they.
Don-York They're tight as a family.
Sorry, but family is what helped him fall! Sometimes it’s best to love from afar! TheRe’s too much temptation there
How did I miss this?? Wow.
El and Bobby were both blessed with gifted musical ability, but El remain in your beautiful gift and in God's path and I hope you'll win the Grammy Award on 02-12-12. Blessings. 01-28-12.
My handsome baby el debarge who i deep love forever for life

Georgeous El D .
Awesome singers and in Milwaukee we really love el debarge also
Nicely done
I love El❤️
The best song i have EVER heard El de Barge sing , is the Andre Crouch classic " The Lord is my light " ...alongside the Clarke sisters...
He has sung some amazing songs but this one is my favourite
When he talks he sounds like Michael Jackson ...
LOL you know they from Detroit when he said "geek" them up. #classic phrase
He said when is he gonna get some action off his songs? Ain't he got 12 kids? 🤣
I Love you El!!!!😗😘😍
Brian, El and I got one thing in common: We're all Geminis! El was born on 4th June, Brian was born on 5th June, and I was born on 18th June! (split by 2 weeks from El's birthday!)
Rohan Padiyar cool
Rohan.... i do agree with you 100%! Ppl are born in June / Gemini...They are genius! Miles Davis, Prince, Lee Morgan etc. And you must be too!!!!!
@@akib2926 Al B. Sure birthday June 4th too
My Birthday is June 18th as well!! #Geminibaby and I just love the fact that El is a Gemini and Brian too?! Yasss hunty💙
@@aliciawalker3100 I LOVE BEING A GEMINI!!
I just picked up Lillo Thomas' new CD, "Come And Get It". The hit single, "What's Not To Love?" is really good.
El Debarge is a handsome man of God. Praying that you'll keep walking with God.
@SoulPowerful everyone should love him
So honest
Not even fair 🤣🤣🤣

Most of El's songs were gospel songs, converted to pop love songs.
Yep!
😳🤷🏾♀️
❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love El
I did a autobiography on el u talking about pretty kids omg gorgeous 12 children kee up the good work el God Bless you & ur family grew up on ur music el God gave u a 2nd chance please el continue 2 do well!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏
they're brothers.
does anyone know what hes talking about two five chords? Does he mean playing Dm7 and the G7 or is it a specific inversion/voicing??
Iam a singer myself man i wanna be able 2 write deep music like that..:(
Go to church and make gospel music so you’re not tempted in this career.
Dang it!!! Were they brothers or cousins???? From what I read back in the day...it was said Bobby was a cousin of El and them..........
GARRY MCKINNON His older brother.
Bobby was El's oldest brother. He said that too.
Bobby was El's Big Bro and mentor.

Maxwell is Gemini as well.
El is gorgeous 😍😍😘
