  • @memoir02 Kinda similar, but i like this one better. Didn't know either song until about 5 years ago, but both r songs that should b on the charts rather than the crappy sampled music and garbage spew they put out 2day.

  • God has blessed him so much, he still has that beautiful voice no matter what he's been through. God has his chosen ones to witness the breakthroughs they have been blessed with.

  • my fav song off this album! so sweet~

  • i love it

  • Thank God I finally found this song! I've been searching for this for so long. This is the type of song that should go atop the charts and not the electronically altered music we have right now. I love this song so much. I'ts just so relaxing.

  • @heatseeker21 Yo me too I just stumbled across it. Yeah I agree

  • El DeBarge will be resurfacing very soon...... what amazing talent! Thanks, Martin, for this post.

  • Amazing Song, Equally Amazing Album! .... Can't Wait for his New One ... Music NEEDS This!! ... El DeBarge is am Extraordinary Talent!....

  • yes "i like it" i wanna meet my "distant lover" so she can be the "queen of my heart" :D

  • Pure genius. Marvin's real heir:-)

  • for a long time i thought this voice was from the girl of the bad,i thought it was her,he has so sweet and high voice!

  • PURE LOVE!!!!!!!!

  • Okay, I was thinking I want to hear something new, but I don't like to take the time out all the time. But when I actually heard the music start to play, my heart almost got butterflies. Then the "Someone just like me running into someone just like you" made me even more peaceful. Definetely going into my playlist and favs. Then the volume was already up loud. Perfect combos!

  • Damn, No dissrespect but he sound like a female.

    lol No Homo but he has a sweet voice.

    Wish Michael Jackson and El Debarge made a song together.

    ~Dj Gims~

  • @DJGIMS3000 omg wow...that is EXACTLY what I was thinking just now

  • Been looking for this song for a long time! Lovely song by a lovely man!

  • wow, what great memories this song brings back.... thanks to whomever uploaded this.

  • WOWW...BEAUTIFUL, ROMANTIC...SPECIAL SONG. THANKS

  • I think someone wrote on one of the sites that Warner Bros came through YouTube and took all their music down which included a lot of El's.

  • When my Pops played this for me when I was a kid i fell in love El's songs lol no homo...20 aint too young too appreciate thiss!!!

  • Damn, this guy was so underrated! Should have been bigger in the 80's, this song was only #70 on the charts.

  • his voice sounds a little different at the beginning.... result of pop levels, i guess... but beautiful nontheless!!!! LOVE YOU EL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • love this song...can't find it anywhere.

  • @flipponya not even iTunes? if not try amazon or rhapsody

  • Music like this puts me in a good mood.

  • I love this music era, this song. It makes me wish I was in love with ":Someone."

  • I love this soft jam. Sweet. Only 12 years old When this song play.

  • He sounded like Stevie Wonder when he did those grunts!

  • I am sooo looking forward to El's new material. His new album should be coming out around the end of this year (October or November). Just a little info I received from an interview I read (can't remember what magazine it came from)...

  • @ songcandid..lol be easier on the future bf's El's voice is way too hard to mimic, but yes this song is definitley in the running for my favorite song but i cant decide between this one or "im in love with you" by Debarge both have the most beautiful instrumentation and El's voice is like silk. Hearing both of these songs jus makes me soo happy inside.

  • i heard EL got like 10 kids then another article said 11 and then another article said 15 okay now which one is it man????

  • Probably 15, every Janet Jackson wanted to be with him.

    I know Kristinia Debarge, is one of his kids.

  • @borrow32 Kristinia is James' daughter, not El's

  • Kristinia Debarge ain't one of his kids james his brother is her father..

  • In the Jet Magazine that I read in 2007, Mama DeBarge confirmed that El has 11 children. In that interview, she gave an update on some of her children.

    I joined the Yahoo! DeBarge group about 5 or 6 years ago. He has ten biological children but he claimed his Monique's oldest son as his own. Monique (his 3rd wife) was in the group and chatted with us. I'm not sure if she's on here anymore because I've been inactive for awhile.

  • oo ok thanks for the heads up..

  • @Harlemgirl118 You're welcome. Yes, 10 children with 5 different women smh. His 7 children were from his 3 marriages. The oldest will be 34 years old and the youngest will be 7 or 8 years old.

  • his oldest would be 34 when did he have his child when he was he was 15 because he was born in 1960 soo?????

  • @Harlemgirl118 El was born in 1961. Yes, he was 15 when he became a father. I seriously need to buy Mama's and Bunny's book.

  • oo when i did my research it said june of 1960 sooo may i ask where are you getting your info from? just a little curious:)

  • @Harlemgirl118 I got my info from the Yahoo! Group called The Debarge Family. I've been inactive with the group for about four or five years.

  • o okay and ya go around and talk about the family....

  • Debrage's and Switch's manager/good friend is on the group from time to time. Monica (El's wife or ex-wife), Bunny, Carol (youngest DeBarge child) and Randy (DeBarge's younger cousin) used to be on the group; they used to be in the chatroom with us. Bunny has her own Yahoo Group! simply called BunnyDeBarge; she's on there all the time. Just check those two groups out.

  • o okay.. i c you got your info... tide up there

  • i like ! just............listen

  • sos un genio maritnpilot, tus canciones tu musica tus videos,, tus vuelos, la verdad sos increible, lo mejor que pudo haberle pasado al mundo.. si hubieran mas como vos, todo seria distinto.. gracias por existir y ser lo mejor!!

    firma : martinpilot

  • gracias!!!!

  • have you listening tim heintz version ?

    If not, do it .

  • I Recommended.

    Both are good.

  • All this talk about El, dope, and prison. Is he out of prison yet?

  • Yes, El is out of prison

  • Thanks for the confirmation. He must be keeping a low profile these days.

  • it was in jail ??? omg didnt know that.

  • Unfortunately, yes he was.

  • GREAT!

  • why, why, why, does all of the talented ones,have such a hard life.michael jackson ,whitney houston, just to name a couple

  • because they choose to be drug addicts. :(

  • lol..you are funny & absolutely right. but  if there was no pain, no drama,no craziness..would michael's and whitney's music be so powerful in it's ability to grab you & leave an impression.? it was cruel and bad parenting, but joe jackson's leather belt got multiple grammies and billboard music awards out of michael. it made michael even more brilliant but tortured and lonely. michael had the resources & numerous opportunites to get help. it's easier to wallow in pain or to be numb on drugs.

  • yeah. but abuse is not the answer. abuse should have never attributed to their success. but it did unfortunately. but if I had to go what he went to, I'd be trying to get doped up too! LOL

  • I can think of (maybe) 2 exceptions to that rule: Stevie Wonder, and Prince!!

  • You sadi itI IT IS A SICKNESS, A DISEASE, they need help not criticism! God BLESS help US ALL!

  • All the talented one actually have something to sing about

  • Whitney didn't have a hard life until she hooked up with Bobby. She was talented, adored, rich and beautiful. Hooked up with Bobby Brown and it went all down hill from there.

  • I agree. Is she having financial difficulties now? I know that she is trying to sale her NJ mansion. According to recent reports, she even reduced the price in half.

  • @zyllo11 When you can can get results with such little means, it just shows how much talent you have. True talent means you can show what you can do no matter what.

  • i love this song so much so many memories!!!!

  • OMG I can't stop hearing this awsome song I love it since I first heard it back in 1986 but for real this guy rocks I wish we could have real cool music like before

  • Yo, you got the song Private Line? If so post dat Jont on Youtube hommie. I never her Private Line by El I was like 4 when this song came out so I never started buying cds tioll I got 13 and I could never find El's frist or second album just 3 & 4.

  • This is and always be one of my favorite songs by El yo. I hope when I get married I can pay soneone to sing this song for me and my future wife.

  • did u kno he's in jail now?

  • Thanks for a great video!

  • EL WAS IN PRISON AND ON DRUGS?!?! Oh my! Not that it was right, but I thought it was Chico that did the time, and not El.

  • I love this song!

  • el debarge needs to do the album with quik and robert bacon already

  • Best song ever!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Ah, reminds me of 6th grade skate parties, when I sat on the bench during the couples' skate. I don't care, I still love this song!

  • I really love this song.I play it all the time for my wife

  • The Song Is Written By Robbie Nevil The Guy Who Made The song

    Cesi La Vie

  • yep...robbie also wrote "right kind of love" for jeremy jordan

  • That's make perfect sense, because both Robbie Nevil and Michael Sembello are Stevie Wonder prodigees. Either of them could have written this. It's got the Jay Graydon production touch, on it though. Jay Graydon produced Al Jarreau and co-wrote EW&F's "After the Love is Gone".

  • Aww this just makes me miss el even more COME BACK TO US EL

  • The eightys were so laid back in America!

    I dedicated this song to my first love, 1986!

  • El debarge got 2yrs in a california prison..... oct 29 2008.... Pray!

  • what happened? whats the case?

  • Drug related charges.... He was already on probation when he got arrested.

  • With the grace of GOD...El DeBarge can, and will overcome his demons!!!

  • Guess we have to pray for him seriously. I saw him recently and his face isn't even sweet anymore (and not because of his age). Breaks my heart.

  • I would give my right aem and ssay stevie wrote this,with El theres very little info on his career I wish i had more info on each of his albums,there noeven lirycs of them

  • I agree, the lyrics sound just like something he would write. They're so clever!

  • he is so beautiful and his voice is in the heavens

  • I haven't heard this song in so long! Wow, I forgot this song! I had the tape and I cannot I forgot this song! However, glad it was posted! Thanks for old school music!

  • Wow! I used to like that song "Someone" when I was little. It's one of my favorites. El DeBarge is my favorite singer in the world.

  • I went on a hunt for this CD JUST for this one song!

  • ive loved this song since i was 6 and i'm only 24. i hope he comes back out soon.

  • It was Tim Heintz i was looking for. Thanks !!

  • Henry Johnson

  • EL Debarge is a genius no matter chart success wich he has achieved too,

  • Does anyone know who made the instrumental cover? 94.7 the wave plays it often

  • There's 2 instrumental versions; the piano version is by Tim Heintz, the guitar version is by Henry Johnson. Most likely you're looking for the Tim Heintz version.

  • El at his best. This is an awesome classic song.

  • that feeling in your stomach... that is the feeling that i get, when i hear this kind of song.. in my country we call this "mariposas en el estomago" in english " butterflies in the stomach..

    really i'm very happy. I find people with the same soul... thanks a lot!

  • This was one of the best, most underrated and underpromoted albumns ever. I believe it had to do with Motown and possibly MJ being really big with Thriller promotion. The music industry is scandalous. No way this shouldn't have made top 5 or had a video produced.

  • 100% agree with you my friend!

  • its all matter kind i know something bout music industry

  • A very beautiful song!!

  • Tata Vega's lead into the song is brilliant. El Debarge has got to be one of the greatest singers of all time.

  • Wow! This song launched my broadcast career! I am thrilled to see it.

  • Holy Cow!! I'm almost tickled pink I've found this song to at least HEAR IT after so many years. My daughter was a little girl when this song came out in 86' lol. Now she's a grown woman married with kids of her own. Anyway, last time I heard this song was 14yrs. ago because its surel "out~of~print" and hard to find.

    I don't have a phonograph player at all but do have the original vinyl I bought in 1986. DAMN! I've gotta get a phono player soon. Thank you kindly for posting this classic

  • Such a sweet story. I was 8 when I purchased this vinyl. My dad took me to a grocery store to buy it with my little crinkled $1 bills I had saved. I played it so much I had to buy the cassette.

  • One of my fav songs of the 80's~!

  • Damn this is a classic....and very hard to find...thanks for posting

  • I have the CD to this album. It's out of print everywhere. And you can't download it anywhere.

    I consider myself lucky. I love this song!

  • I woke up with this song on my mind. xoxo

  • This was my record. I remember how happy my 8yr old self was when I begged my father to take me to the store so I could spend my $8+tax on this vinyl record. I used the cover as a poster. Aaaa...memories.

  • Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU FOR POSTING ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITES!

    God Bless!

    ps- pray for El & family

  • This song is beautiful...takes me back to the good times in the '80's. Thanks for the post.

  • one of el's best by far

  • One of my favorite songs from an album that has been out-of-print for a long time. Thanks for sharing!

  • I have this cd! Even though I had to pay $30 for it, because it's an import. It'll come back in stores someday, and much cheaper than imports!
