ARTIST BACKGROUND

About DeBarge

DeBarge was a sibling recording group with Michigan roots, distinct from the related band Switch. El, Bunny and their brothers developed songs together, with El arranging much of the music. Early Motown albums included The DeBarges, All This Love and In a Special Way, recorded in California. The family's writing and vocal work produced songs such as Time Will Reveal, while later artists sampled material from the group's catalog.
