  • LOL @ the woman in blue at 2:03 - 2:22. Her eyes are transfixed on El.

  • Don't worry about those types of people. They have no other life but to criticize others due to their own insecurities.

  • OOOMMMMGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!! IM IN LOVE WITH HIS FINE SELF XOXOXO

  • i remember their songs starting from 1978's -1980's i go way back with their brothers when they was the group call Switch, what a feeling, it's so real, i wanna be closer, and then the Debarge their next generation, Love Yall Always, I be still listening to yall, still seems like yesterday,

  • i said it before, but i will say it again. i was so and still am in love with his sister.

  • I'm only 24 but this is one of my ALL time favorite songs. It doesn't get better than (El) Debarge

  • if i wasnt watching i woulda thought this was jst the record! amazing! i love me some debarge and im only 20!

  • @tamikajay2k10 Sweety, it is just the record! They are lip syncing to their own track. According to my Moms, she said that was a very common practice then as to not drag all the equiptment on stage amongst a variety of other reasons.Its very very difficult for even the most gifted vocalists to do a song EXACTLY the same way it was recorded in a studio...nearly impossible.Dont get me wrong, they CAN sing live and sound great!!

  • @BrooklynOmerta It is very difficult but Prince, Michael Jackson and The Debarges were among the few artists or groups who could really do this well. Long before autotone/auto pitch software that assists most 'stars' today on stage while singing live. This appearance on Soul Train they were put on the spot and sang the last part of this song live for the audience and El hit all the notes-the family was just talented period.

  • @hoodhoseforever I know. I produce and arrange music (mixing,mastering,etc). I stay in the studio. But thanx for your imput. Also, I never suggested they couldnt sing live, ever. Not once. Never suggested they werent talented either, not once. If I had enough charactors I would copy/paste what I originally said so that you could yanno, re-read it. If you have the time, go ahead and check it out. Thanx in advance!!

  • @hoodhoseforever Oh, and just a heads up. I went ahead and watched this video again till the very end and there isnt a time whatsoever where El is singing live. There is no break,cut, nothing. They were lip syncing their music which is perfectly fine, especially for the times. But let me guess, the part where its "live" for the audience that you speak of just so happens to NOT have been caught on video (because it isnt here) & YOU have some "inside knowledge" or were there? Right? lol

  • @BrooklynOmerta Funny. OF course he didn't sing during the song that wouldn't make sense if they're already lip-synching. It was after Don interviewed them. He wanted to know if they really sounded like the record and they broke out and hit the last part of the song where El goes ballistic. The person who posted this vid caught it off before the interview.

  • @hoodhoseforever So did you receive my inbox with the link to the video I was telling you about. Tell you tubers how right I was lmao

  • pretty people. beautiful song.

  • It's too easy to hit the Dislike button by mistake,cos it's right next to the Like button.Youtube need to space them apart more!

  • @armywife2248,

    I couldn't have said it better. You are old school. Big upps!!

  • I think this clip is from the fam's 3rd appearance on Soul Train (Dec 1983). Any1 have the very 1st appearance of Debarge on Soul Train? Their very 1sy appearance I think was October '82, the Jermaine Jackson tribute show, their 2nd was May '83 with Champaign.

  • its so gay.

  • @errollawrence screw you hater!

  • @XxBabyGurlLovexX , HA-HA-HA....now that's what I'm talking about.....EL DEBARGE FANS 4 LIFE BAYBEEEE!!!!!

  • @rosamaryful IKR! For Life baby!!! :D lol

  • @XxBabyGurlLovexX, hey, when you have a chance, check out Els feet!...You know what they say. Big Feet = Big D**k....YA KNOW!!!....and I'm hungry for a footlong "hot dog" right now!!

  • @rosamaryful lollol you're sick haha

  • @jacijune, Like J.J. say it on "Good Times',....I KNOWWW.

  • @rosamaryful lmao xD

  • El said he wrote this song, "Time Will Reveal" (by himself), when he was 16 years old and was not going to record it. However, his brother Chico encouraged him to release it. Needless to say, it was a 'hit' that remains a classic! "All This Love" was the other song that El said he also wrote by himself. Others were co-written with his siblings. Plus, even though they play instruments,they've never taken lessons. They play by ear! That's real true God given talent!

  • It's sad how "jealousy" broke that beautiful family group apart. The fact is that El WAS the better singer. They should have been proud that Els singing was getting all of them well paid. When the group broke up, the money decreased for the other siblings. That what being jealous gets you.

  • de'barge sounded so good. this is one talented family. they was big in the '80's,and their songs though the years have become iconic. great sound.

  • I totally agree, those 3 ruled!

  • Wish music was like this would still be produced..

    I'm sick of rap and all that techno crap...It's time they went back and start over again using this music to guide them

  • @LBJTV ME TOO!!!!! and i am sick of all the sampling, wheres the instruments and originality!!!

  • 5 people disliking this song don't want time to be reveal.....

  • Who isn't in luv with El DeBarge?  LOL

  • my favorite r&b song of all time<3

  • gosh they're the one who sang this... cuz i just heard it an hour ago on a radio.. and i was like what's the title of that song it's so refreshing to hear... and i really thought MJ sang this one... i just search here El Debarge because it was said they sang "Skyline express" ( i love the song that's why).. and so i searched it and lead me on this vid and this song.. my question was answered .... already? (^_^)

  • Remember all the bands that we burned down because they were lip syncing???

    Were do you think they came up with it?? It's been around since multi track recording.

  • beautifully done,,,

  • lol 80's were special I miss the music the style

  • I was quite smitten with El when I was in Junior high back then. This song is timeless!!

  • oryt

  • While I think there are still beautiful, natural looking sisters out there, today too many have knifed themselves up to look perfect and ended up looking plastic are unreal. I'm grateful for my natural body and beautiful black skin. El was right; black don't crack. (Like him, no negative to any other race, just appreciating the positive melanin in our skin.

  • this song means a lot to me.it brings back my younger years.

  • @JeanMarquez3 i know ugh i love them;)

  • this song means a lot to me.

  • Time Will Reveal has always been my all time favorite song by DeBarge! Love that EL!!!

  • such a beautiful voice, it melts me.

  • I watch El Debarge recently at the BET Awards. He still looks so fine!

  • Damn, Bunny is da bomb....Why don't more sistas look like that!!!

  • Treasure this !!!!! One of the few times people actually sung live on ST !!!!

  • They are just so beautiful to look at. What a pretty family. Eye candy all day.

  • this is timeless! I just cant stop listening..the melodic tune..strong lyrics..harmonies and riffs and hooks.baseline...Debarge...you killed it!!

  • Wow, I just realized that what they are weaing in this is the exact outfits they are wearing on the album cover of In a Special Way...Interesting

  • Here's El talking about this performance on the Soul Train Awards 2010.

  • Interestingly enough, this performance was done with live mics! Here's El talking about it on the Soul Train Awards. Classic performance!

  • Congratulations to El on his 2 GRAMMY nominations for the song Second Chance! Well Deserved!!! He's BACK!

  • many years later and he still has dat voice 2nd chance his new song is cool...

  • this song go deep.... real music

  • @ batfighter8,, talking shit on the computer is easy, Face to face, you'd be my little bitch

  • Great song, great voice... oh I I miss the 70's and 80's :(

  • That dude got on a budget Thriller jacket in white and black. These guys were not appreciated back then. They are awesome. Check out their unsung. My sister produced it for TV One

  • @ the 5people, who didn't like this song,, maybe GOD will give you a Heart in the afterlife

  • @SuperShabazz1 boner me up

  • Comment removed

  • thats babymakin music right there

  • Just beautiful.

  • Anybody know where i can buy some curl activator?

  • Bunny had the best legs!!!!

  • @shardyshaw Bunny looks a LOT like my mom!! :-O

  • Oh shoot, Janelle Monae re-made this song.

    Both versions are great!

  • the best el debarge

  • i like "the lord is real" version bettah...im sorry i kno dis is da ariginal but the harmonies are bettah on dat version

  • Justin Bieber is for the very young and most very young girls are just infatuated with the fact that he's on stage singing and not neccessarily talented. Most young girls and boys wouldn't know the diifference between a good note and a bad note, it's all visual for them. Anyone can produce anybody if you've got the money and the resources and believe me, they don't have to be talented. It's called "Idol Making."

  • EL DEBARGE KILLED IT AT THE BET AWARDS SONG LIKE THAT

    GETS THE WOMEN.

  • DAMN! The audience started to clap at the point of CLIMAX!!!

  • Why was the girl there? She didn't do much

  • @shippo481 check out 'Share My World' she sang on that track. She has a beautiful voice; I believe she also had a solo album.

  • @shippo481 Bunny DeBarge cowrote many of the DeBarge's hit...plus if you listen closely to all of their songs..Bunny has the strongest background vocals! So trust me...she did a lot for this group!

  • This is one of my slow jams when I was younger and even now! And the 27 years of my marriage to my husband speaks this song very loud and clear! And I had that song in my heart when I did not know what time it was going to be or when it was going to be and where all of the 27 years went! Only Time revealed it! I'm adding this one back to my Singing Repertoire! Smiles

  • I saw El De Barge in Philly LIVE! Truly so gifted on the keyboards. His voice is like GOLD in natural or falsetto when he does LOVE ME IN A SPECIAL WAY. OMG!!! I hope he gets family members back together and does a tour. I would SO be there. Thank God he is in recovery & back on track. Getting busted was the best thing to happen to him. Too bad Michael Jackson did not hit bottom so that he could face reality & clean himself up:(

  • @varmstead ~ I don't know varmstead BUT that would truely be lovely, Man! The whole group back cause you know the whole group struggle with drugs, this was about El's 2nd or 3rd bust & hopefully his last..... El he gets str8 then Chico F's up

    Chico's cd came out in '09 & it didn't even get radio play ~ What a Shame :(

  • I love Bunny's dress!! Damn El Debarge and his brothers are fine!!

  • @honeychick4ever .....Damn...Bunny Debarge is da bomb...I wish more sistas were fine like that!!!

  • @bretcarr2001....Vanity, Appolonia, Bunny Debarge...How come sistas today don't look like that?...You don't see any women that fine anymore

  • @honeychick4ever

    Yes, the dress is lovely and I agree about her brothers. Good looking and talented.

  • @honeychick4ever........I know!!! Bunny Debarge was so beautiful!!

  • he sounded a bit rocky on the bet awards, but he's timeless, but i was so glad to see him on stage again. he's certaintly better than these hip hop fags these days who deserve nothing, but a kick in the ass. BET honored fags like Puff Daddy, and gave awards to all the classic wannabe's like trey songs, etc.etc. I've lost all respect for BET. Their awards are obviously FAKE.

  • To bad if he play this in todays world we would get killed..... >:(

  • one of the best singers behind Michael Jackson

  • I am so feeling the curls, the family two-step, the characteristically extra ST dancing and even the screen glitches ~ because they all serve as personal reminders of the ultimate, guiding LOVE our Creator has for us through the p/ages of Life. Soulful tunes like this and "Stay with Me" convinced me on da way back that El was a mouthpiece for the Divine call to all hearts. Time will reveal... Let it be in p(e)ace y'all!

  • TIMELESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • El Debarge I look forward to seeing you in atlanta on 10/2 At Chastain park. Its been a long time since your fans have seen you on tour.Welcome Back.

  • Time will Reveal' is about God's love for us. Listen closely. I saw the Debarge Family on a show over 20 years ago when they told of the song's meaning. I remember being shocked when I heard this because it made perfect sense.

  • @QueensLadyDay Really!? Wow, your revelation just blew me away! I listened to it again and was almost in tears knowing the true meaning...No wonder this song is timeless. When I was a teenager and this song was out, it was me and my significant other's song - after we broke up, it was too much for me to hear until some 25 years later. Now, knowing the true meaning helps! No wonder when El is on Brian McKnight's performing it, you can feel the anointing.

  • Bunny and the othe sister Carol "Peaches" would be on vocals too; James could be the other keyboardist as well as on vocals, and I am sure that that Darryl and the other brother could also play their instruments... why did they never banded together all of them like the Sylvers (when they were nine in the 1970s) ??! O.K. ; O.K. I know : we'll never get back to the past...

  • Chico had been stabbed quite recently, ...t'was related to drugs businnes and all of that... but the very guuy who stabbed him was killed to death a bit later by some other guys (also related to drugs business I guess...) independently from that,consider that : if the 9 brothers and sisters of the family would have been in the group they could have played their instruments on stage : Bobby DeBarge on drums,El can sing and play the keyboard; Mark "Marty" can play the horns, Tommy on the bass

  • I prefer the video when they sang that one in American Bandstand, also in 1983, cause they are close to the people -some of which are sitting on the floor- with light dots shining like stars at the background of the stage,and wearing the same clothes as on the album(like here,in fact)... just seemed more magic... they've removed it (as always on Youtube...you can never come back and be sure that the video you've watched some months earlier would still be there...)

  • theyre doing the suave 2 step ever...

  • @ActionFarter

    Yeah and Bunny better watch out cause Marty is working that 2 step

  • It's cute to me how El grooves on stage. To the ending, he portrayed being frustrated like how the song takes you. "But this time loves foreal! Heeey! This special love in us will all reveal in time!"

  • lol That James is a trip. I didn't realize how tall he was compared to his siblings. He was in those pants though. I love DeBarge

  • I loooooooove Janelle Monae's cover of this song.

  • @neyoswifey42 Not me...

  • @neyoswifey42 Whatever happen to Janelle Monae? She had that one hit with Method Man the that was IT....I really liked her.

  • Five people with no soul.

  • this video takes me waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back! those were good times!

  • Not being funny but Bunny had some really nice legs back then.

  • That's a "soul" audience....that's why they are all swaying in harmony. They all get it..great rhythmic music with beautiful lyrics and an amazing voice by El Debarge. This in one of the timeless slow jamz....ever

  • Pure classic!!!

  • Yes they are lipsynching,i bought the 45 to this in 1983 and its the exact same.Love DeBarge!!!!!!

  • If I could hear angels sings i'd imagine they'd sound like this. the chord chnage on this song is GENIUS. Thank you for the music DeBARGE

  • @Shiftingfly judging from your comment.. i guess you are a musician too ^ ^

  • my favorite song!!!! best song they ever had

  • they're not lipsycning

  • @rdf7777 Are you sure? Sounds a lot like the studio version...

  • @gameshowluvr86 I guess you have not heard of the word sarcasm,lmao

  • janelle monae did a good cover, but this is classic.

  • @crackpills11

    I'm sure Janelle Monae covered it well but some songs should just be off limits to covers no matter what!

  • EL DEBARGE MAKING A COMEBACK

  • @SyrenniaLestrange LOL...I had one...it was the poster of this album cover.

  • all the words that should be in my kings heart 

  • i really love this song.great.beautiful.i really appreciate this kind of song.even im just a teenager boy

  • Beautiful! Just Beautiful!

  • Wow...they werer just kidz....and look at BUNNY...she was fine and I'm sure she still is..sooo pretty!!

  • those skinny jeans are still too big on him! lawd j...
