Once again pitch purfect....THE GREAT BOBBY DEBARGE!!! El's voice is GREAT. Bobby's voice is PERFECT but El you are doing your brother proud...even El said in an interview that Bobbys voice was perfect everytime...
He recorded this in one take....while he was sick???
WOW!
It's amazing. Simply amazing!
I thought he just sounded a little different because his voice matured a little. He had a voice that could just tear right down to the core of the soul. R.I.P Bobby.
@ Burndsman1... was listening to this CD last night and was brought to tears...nice to see it being shared... will call you in the next few days... Peace n Love

Burndsman1-- I read your comments on Bobby Debarge on your website... I'm wondering why this album was never released... just from the comments here it's apparent that it would have been a hit. It's a shame that many people have missed the opportunity to obtain this great piece of work by the late Bobby Debarge. Not to mention the potential financial benefit for this wife and kids. what happened- how did this fall threw the cracks?
Oh my God!!!!!!!!!!! Dude murdered this song! Bobby Debarge is undoubtebly the best!!!!!! Will someone please tell me where I can buy or download this dam album! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!
This not me, Bernd Lichters aka Burndsman, but a memory of Bobby DeBarge (Switch, DeBarge and solo 'It's Not Over'), a song from the It's Not Over album. and Jorge Aznar and the NY Film Academy Los Angeles making a video with actors to 'Taste Of Your Love'
@ Burndsman, Its wonderful that you are so dedicated in finding different ways to expose Bobby Debarge's music. I am a late bloomer because I was not born when Switch was hot but my mom was crazy about them as well as Debarge. During my college Summer break I decided to research his music after watching his story. I feel like I am in your footsteps because everywhere I go online you've been there spreading Bobby's memory. I hope you continue to keep his work alive. Just wanted you to know.
This is a beautiful song that makes you cry and think about life. Bobby Debarge had an angelic voice that the Lord gave to him. R.I.P. the music live lives!
Today Robert Louis (Bobby) DeBarge jr. will receive an ASCAP Soul Music Award for Hip Hop track 'Throw Some Dss' Rich Boy, using Bobby's (Switch) song 'I Call Your Name'.
Actually this is Bobby Debarge Yes, he did have a naturally high voice, when he was with Switch. I have this cd. It's Not Over, by Bobby Debarge. The reason his voice sounds a bit different is that Bobby was very sick therefore he was very weak. He was livng out his last years of life. Bobby was dying from Aids when he recorded this cd. With him being very sick, it took a toll on his voice. In my opinion Bobby still sounded very wonderful on this cd.
nice try, but dis aint bobby debarge from switch, cuz it sounds nuthin like him, listen to the intro of "i call your name" intro and vocals, he had a natural high pitch voice
That sure is Bobby DeBarge from Switch and some of the last songs he did before he passed on Aug 116, 1995. This song was done in one take, vocals and piano at the same time.
Foreverlarge, i think that's an excellent idea about 'I didn't mean to hurt you' as a promotional video. Mr Lichter please consider it. AIDS has and is still touching so many people's lives, I think bobby's amazing voice along with what he went through would be amazing way of spreading awareness and helping in the fight against ignorance.
Mr. Lichters you obviously have invested a lot in promoting Bobby's final album and "Taste of Your Love" is one of the most powerful songs, especially when you realize he was struggling and straining his voice to finish the tune. But the most beautiful crafted and sung tune is "I Didn't Mean To Hurt You." This is the song that should promote the album. If you are going to invest in another video invest in on that that song and turn it into a tribute to the last days of Bobby DeBarge...
... And use "I Didn't Mean To Hurt You" as a promotional video in the fight against ignorance and for AIDS awareness. I am sure organizations in the fight against AIDS and those who have died and still living with the diesease would appreciate it.
Thank you for sharing. Unlimited talent. A true writer w/ a beautiful, gospel influenced voice. No doubt, Switch was the pride of GR. On the day of the funeral it rained and rained. God bless and keep all your families.
This song is a lesson to us. Bobby was a true vocalist and a true musician. The songs he wrote with Switch and Debarge are TIMELESS. Too bad we cant get the same kind of music in R&b Today. I hope one day R&b and funk will have the same Real Musicians and singers like Bobby and Sly and Tony Lemans and many other True Artist gave to us. Thank you Bobby! Rest In Peace.
its such a shame when was living he understood what good music was all about. hiv and aids is such a terrible way to die, rest in peace bobby you will be missed.
It's never been confirmed, but (I think) he probably contracted it from the needle, since he was heavily into drugs for a while. His brother chico thinks he got it in prison.
Bobby is so so SO missed - thank you for this video Bernds you are a TRUE friend to the DeBarges - you may as well change your last name to DeBarge LOL... be blessed! BTW: its M Yvette (Maiyasmomii)
Thanks so much for sharing this with us. I grew up listing to SWITCH, and 'They'll Never Be' is the very first song my big sis made me memorize to record on our old tape recorder. Bobby's voice is special as is his memory(R.I.P). THANK U SO MUCH!
R.I.P Bobbby Debarge..I have this album (Bobby's last album) He was very weak when he recorded this album (from the liner notes).. Shocked to find this song on this video..Much respect to you for uploading it
This is so touching. I love it. Bobby's voice is PHENOMINAL! Almost brought a tear to my eye! <3 RIP dear. You are deeply missed.
