While singing "Time Will Reveal" at our exclusive listening party for his new album, El DeBarge called up a fan from the crowd to help him sing the song! www.v1019.com
What a great video. No bullshit. Just people having genuine fun. El Debarge, live.......and people right in front of him filming him sing with cell phones. It doesn't get any more down to Earth and real than this video. Thanks for the upload.
I seriously don't understand why anyone would have anything bad to say about this talented young lady... El invited her on stage, and when she left, he told her to come back right by his side. She has a beautiful raspy voice, and did a great job considering the fact that she had no idea El (whom she probably admires and adores) would invite her to sing along with him. Shanon you did a great job and this was a beautiful musical moment. And what a talented musician El is!
i love the deepness, runs and riffs of a young lady. i was impressed. and in all fairness to her, i believe they dont rehearse the adlibs for the songs with uncomfortable singing position, she nailed the song.
El has the greatest ear. Everyone was singing and he looked over at the young lady. Watch how he reacts when she caught his ear. I would imagine he called her out because of that special tone she had in her voice. It had a little raspiness in it. Great performance!
Exactly Raphael..that is true talent on both their parts..but El could take the lead and play in her key as he accompaniment to her singing then he to took the mic back n did his thing but called her right back then could go right back into adlib as she sang..that's is a true keen ear for listening cuz he had to understand the key she was in..PERFECT COMBINATION!!
I think El like women that sing with that raspiness in their voice. I'll never forget he brought Chante Moore onto the scene yeeears ago on Soul Train and she had that same raspiness.
The the same thing I said. He heard her singing that backup when everyone was singing the chorus and called her out. I can only imagine how she would have sounded had she not been bending over singing. That's not easy to do what she did either.
This is one of my favorite videos! El DeBarge is totally secure and gracious to share his stage and the young lady did her thing! And when she started singing El went straight to church with that left hand! Wonderful!
I love this song so much. You looked at the lady and picked up on her voice. What a beautiful duo. We love so much El DeBarge. Praying for happiness and peace and love. In Jesus name.
The Meastro El lights up even more when he can lead someone in song they take instruction from him and the person follows him. That spontaneous duo made him happier. Musician recognize musician. He made sure he tapped that key so she could know what key to sing and follow him on. Genius.
MY SISTA BLOWED!!..she worked her version that what I admired about her she sang it how she felt it and El allowed her to sing it in her own style and as an accompaniment he flowed right wit her..that's talent when u can accompany a singer wit the music impromptu is TALENT..u go sis and thanks El for letting her show her talent
Where is Shannon, is she singing? I would love to put her on a song I wrote. My Goodness Shannon can sing my Loooord..... WOW! Please hit me up let’s chat.
Whew!!! I love the way El throws his whole body into the rhythm of the song while playing the keyboard/piano!!! Seeing how well he plays without looking at the keyboard shows that he can tickle those ivorys blindfolded! At approx 4:11-4:40 El emphasizes his keyboard prowess on this song which he himself wrote at age 16! Thank you El...thank you too Shannon for your boldness . I LOVE this video!!!! Thank you V1019FM for posting this~
Homosexual Men in the U.S. were jealous of El Debarge and had this whole group put in prison deliberately by spreading a horrible rumor about them. I cannot say names though but may the man responsible soul rest in hell!
With all due respect, as well executed as his voice is. He can't hold a candle to his big brother, Bobby, of Switch. Actually, all of the siblings can sing. Especially, Bobby..lol
@@kennettabradford6566 you don't know what TF I can do or anything about me. So stop trolling, mind your business & stay TF out of mine. How bout that, lil dusty.
One thing about El and his family, people still have much love and respect for them bcuz they understand the talent niw. Sometimes you don't know what's really good till it's not around anymore. That's why I love watching the video D. J. Quick made with El bcuz he knew he was great and a genius back then! He captured the moment calling him a modern day Mozart! They're high accolades that are well deserving. I hope they give the man what's due to him. He contributed alot to the music world and could have given much more had he not fallen away from the scene but he's still deserving of something in his honor! I don't even think he's actually won a grammy but it doesn't mean he wasn't good enough being as most of that stuff is rigged but if the fans had any say, Debarge would have multiple awards stacked high! I haven't heard many people out of thousands whose commented on utube have anything negative to say about El and his family. That's a true Unsung hero! Love Always El! 💕💋
I know I'm 4 years late but I just read your comment and you hit everything that I was thinking right on the nose. He deserves to be honored. Bet should honor him with an award since he never won a Grammy hopefully he would win one someday but he has to put out another banging album even better than Second Chance (which I still love by the way) but I hope someday he will get all of the awards that he deserves because he is so talented with his handsome self and I wish that people would stop judging him for his PAST drug use since he's been done with drugs for some years now and just continue to keep him and his family in prayer God Bless.
Beautifully stated and oh so true. El is a legend and an icon in music. He produced the entire ‘In A Special Way’ at only 21 years old. We’re talking about timeless/classic songs that will never die and have spawned songs that helped other artists careers take off. Not even getting into all the mental and physical abuse he and his siblings suffered, and the drugs they used to ease the pain. I love El Debarge like family and I really hope they induct him into the R&R hall of fame. I can’t think of anyone more deserving. Gotta mention... James did his thing too and so did the late great Bobby. May he rest in power.
El sings for 1, 100, 1000, or 10000 all the same way. Always been one of my favorite singers and is my sister's childhood crush😂. The man is talented on keys, bass, and drums. His song Turn the Page made a positive impact on me at a very young age (late 80s) -- and arguably help me move on at a very difficult time in my life.
I mean.... Wow!! That was just amazing. Her voice and spirit meshed so beautifully with the legend El Debarge's it brought tears to my eyes. That was truly special.
this fan mad me cry... she is so good, without rehearsing the song, and singing high notes in unconfortable position to sing.. great!!! love this song so much.
She sound like Shirley Murdock so soulful. El is a legend I could see the bloodline with his brother Bobby. This revealed that GOD blessings is real!!!
I love this, have watched it so many times already. Shannon's voice is gorgeously raspy and El has such a kind spirit, without ego for putting her on. Which current artist would ever do that?
There is no way I would have recorded this with my phone. I would have been present, taking it all in and experiencing it. Thanks to whoever uploaded this gem to youtube.
The girl did an awesome job,she really showed her chops and it shows here that El Debarge loves his fans,no ounce of ego,he allowed one of his fans to take over the mic and he just flowed along with her,a total pro,such a great soul.
I have no idea what you all saw, but this video touches my heart every time I see it. Way to go Debarge for letting her sing and she can SANG....if you want to hear his version only I suggest you look it up...HATERS! I wish I could see her singing some more as well. Debarge should keep doing musice FOREVER!!!!
El, man, your voice never change! It's timeless, like that song u sang in this vid. U and your fam were blessed by the hands of the almighty. Even thru the pain, y'all were blessed. Believe that!
Not many of the high note singers from El's era can still hit their high note songs, this boy can still hit that shit! Peabo can't hit the end of feel the fire, Rockie Robbins can't hit any of be ever wonderful, goddamn Debarge!!!
This is awesome! Can’t stop watching. El sings this so enchantingly beautiful. And the way he engages that lady is so sweet and sincere. I'm such a big fan!
Totally agree,she has something of Stevie Wonder in the way she sings with her husky voice that I love wow,she blew my mind away coz they haven't rehearsed it. El could hear that special voice that's why he called her
Bro I'm in tears because I see his face and I can't imagine the fight he's had to win in order to still be able to appear what looks like not just normal but passionate and caring, he's had everything thrown is way, some of it his own fault but still able to showcase such high human qualities, so many would have curled up bitter and mad at the world, yet this LEGEND continues to share his gift with us. I love you EL, you're more than we deserve man.
Wonderful sentiment! Because Eldra is a God-Fearing man. He knows that the only reason he is still here today is because of the Almighty. He says when he was high and on drugs, he continued to pray for God to deliver him. And when he was ultimately sent to prison, he said he was rescued. The man knows from where his deliverance and blessings come from. It was unbelievable to him that after all of the abuse, God kept his vocals intact, so he knew he had to get back out there. When you've been down and out like he was and are so blessed to be given a second chance, humility SHOULD come with that.
Sing it El and Shannon! Y'all are bad to the bone! El is so talented. To be able to play so beautifully, know how to make it sound soulful, and sing on top of all that, this is true talent. He is one of the few out there with this capability. And Shannon my girl, I'm sure you already know you've got it. Thank you for sharing your talent.
I just had to listen to that again. Ms. Shannon and El make a great team. Of course it would be nice if I was their backup singer.( Just a thought.) I like the way El noticed Shannon's talent and was not afraid to share the spotlight with her.
Absolutely love her voice. Could listen to her sing or talk all day long. In a normal world she would have producers lined up to work with her. I sure would.
I shed a tear every time I watch this..they sounded perfect together, it touches your soul..very powerful. I wish they could do something together it would be beautiful to hear.
