Bobby Debarge's falsetto was in a league of it's own. He really set the tone and mark for how El Debarge would approach his music. But El in his own right, is a talented singer, writer, and producer. And El's piano playing is among the best.
El's cover of Marvin Gaye's "After The Dance" is classic:
James, Bunny, Randy and Chico are all talented as well. James's voice is nice as is Randy, Bunny and Chico. That whole family of brothers and sister are so talented.
This is a 5 star, instant classic thread.

Yup, here's an interview of El talking about Bobby:
His vocals on this track is just amazing. That brother was just gifted.

Yeah, their Unsung episode was really over due. Their music has been sampled and covered for so long, it was time to hear their story and acknowledge their importance in the history of music.

Yeah, I remember hearing that Quik and El were suppose release an album together. That El interlude is one of my favorites of their collaborations. It maybe my favorite song off that album. El was singing like no other and Quik's production was excellent.
I also enjoyed James' contributions to Quik's albums. James did his thing on that "Divorce Song" joint. One of my favorites as well.
i always heard if quincy jones wasnt as loyal as he was to mj....el woulda got him a thriller or off the wall album...
