Marty's pelvic movements always get me. He puts so much effort into his choreography. Out of them all, Randy's actually not that bad of a dancer. If you watch closely, he actually paces his steps in rhythm of the beat and he speeds up his tempo when the song fastens in certain parts. Bunny also, for the most part.

I swear I love this song and I love DeBarge. I wish I was born in the 80s because this is REAL music expressing REAL love. I'm only 18, and I love old school and wouldn't mind listening to it. It's alot better than this trash on the radio today. I love me some El DeBarge all the way baby!! <333 :D
No matter how you slice it or break it down, Their dancing was awful. If you're gonna sing like a group, dance like one. Everybody just don't do their own thing. FORTUNATELY, their singing made up for it, especially Els.
To the young ones complaining about their 'dancing'. Their moves were designed by motown's choreographer, Cholly Atkins at that time. Their steps, and hand moves were all choreographed to the song lyrics back then. Even their wardrobe was chosen by a studio representative. That's why they always looked presentable....unlike today's artists. No sagging pants and tennis shoes here!!!
out of them all james debarge and el debarge still look good not hatin or nothing but me i love debarge period but im a bobby debarge and el debarge fan off top
Thanks for posting this!! I remember seeing this edition of Soul Train when it originally aired. They also sang "I like it" during the second half-hour of the show. I also remember Don Cornelius visiting with the group and El DeBarge did a demonstration of how high his voice could go. Needless to say, it was impressive!!
Love Love Love this song! But their performance here is very uncharacteristic of a Motown act, especially one on Soul Train. Think of the Jacksons, Temptations, & other groups. By the time they got it together, they were being fired from Motown! :(
Classic Just got ElDebarge's new CD SecondChance it is HOT! Every song is great...The single Second Chance just got 2 grammy noms. Voice is still pitch perfect falsetto...
On a lighter note...I remember seeing them on Punky Brewster when I was about 5 yrs. old (yes, I'm a young one, lol) and I fell in LOVE with James. That was my baby ever since...at least in my mind.lol.
calm down. they are on beat. clearly they wouldn't even be able to make a record if they couldn't stay on beat. not to denote your compliment, but I'm seeing too much ignorance on these Debarge Videos.
this is timeless....I am SO SO happy I grew up in the 80's..... long before the internet.... cell phones... ipods...i pads...blackberries...back when people knew how to love...LIKED to love...were more personal...more connected...more humane...I fuckin hate this younger gen....thank you debarge....we still love you!! and el you still look great...i saw you on the bet awards.....you go boi!!
The DeBarge family may not have been the dancers like The Jacksons, nobody could dance in such perfect unison like The Jacksons could. DeBarge were/are super talented in their own way,all of them play at least 3 to 4 instruments except Bunny who is a damn good songwriter! Nobody could perform like Michael Jackson,he was God-given,however El DeBarge can really dance unlike his siblings,plus El plays Keys,bass,drums, & is a great producer,singer/songwriter,mixer. El is a musical genius!
His lil' young self talking about he had some problems LOL They were good but too bad they were strung out on drugs. Maybe that's why danced like that hehehehe.
ah halcyon days. i agree it's hard adjusting to debarges being all over the map as stage presence, but you get used to it after a while. it's even charming in a quirky way, like some symbolic awkwardness with the way they were thrust into motown teen idol-hood just to make a living, most of their goods are self-taught, and that eternal unease of being half-br**d. they're a beaut of contradictions, embarrassments, unease, tortured self-destruction, broken dreams...out of which come much beauty
Yeah We all know they had good voices but if they would've had a little bit more showmanship they may have been the next jackson 5. i highly doubt that if the jacksons were rockinin and jamin' in they're own lil worlds on stage as kids they wouldnt be where they are today. This is my jam though!
@ncmelnc I love the way they dance. They reflect the audience's dancing; everyone following their own groove and interpretation of how the song is effecting them.
yeah i agree their dancing is off.. its not that they can't dance they're just not 2gerther one going one way and another is going another way.. they should have had a damn choreographer what was Motown doing
The Debarges R my fam...The didn't have Joe Jackson 2 whup them thru endless dance routines & beat them in2 rhythmic precision like the Jacksons. It all pretty much happened overnite 4 the Debarges. 1 minute they R singing in their uncle's church in Grand Rapids, next minute they R performing coast 2 coast....
Everyone says they had no rhythm and can't dance and I don't think that's true. Bunny and El have quite good rhythm if you ask me. It's just James, Randy and Mark that are a bit... off beat. LOVE all of them though.
You know, whenever I watched DeBarge perform, I was always so focused on El, I never noticed that they had no rhythm. (PS: that chick @ 2:48 was grinding so hard, she might as well have laid on the floor.)
Haha like I said earlier, they needed a daddy like Joe Jackson 2 whup them thru endless rehearsals & beat them in2 rhythmic percision LoL. But errything happened so fast 4 Debarge...1 minute they R singing in church, next minute they R appearing on national shows & touring with Luther...Lotta pressure 2 perform, not enuff rehearsal time.
Debarge is my niggaz and Bunny is fine as hell but almost always during their live performances they are off beat with no rhythm and James just be doing his own thing. But James doing his own thing looks 10x better than wat Bunny, Mark,and Randy be doing lol.
Good lord the dancing! I've said it once and i'll say it again, aside from the drugs this groupd could have been bigger then jackson 5 if only they had some damn rhytm. Shame.
well everyone is not a great dance , but all they needed was unity!!!! Everyone is doing their own thing. I'm really surprised motown didn't have them work with a choreographer like they did with most of their talent back in the day.
Motown was slowly dying by this point. So they really couldn't afford that sort of thing. And Berry's heart wasn't into the company, as much, anymore. Especially, since Ms. Diva Diana had gone over to RCA.
