  • american bandstand is the ab ya'll lol yeah i'm old! member when they rocked the hits? and soul train and the solid gold dancers lmao man how did i get so old so fast and where did all this really great music go?

  • man i love this song did then too! god he can hit those high notes so perfectly,,, amazing!

  • Most of y'all dont even know what that AB stands for. LOL

  • How many women got impregnated with this song playing....

  • Yes the bright NIGGAS is back

  • Prayers for El to prevail in his fight to stay on the wagon and to beat the monkey on his back. We hace been so robbed of his voice through the years. This song is so one of my favourites. ...and yes the wink would just slay me at 18. In fact my preschool daughter makes me play this over and over so "he can wink me" and she loves his voice although she asked me in confusion "he girl?" just cause she thinks his voice is too pretty.

  • This is my favorite DeBarge song!!!!!!! I love it when El says: ".....but this time love's for real"......OOOH! That makes me HOT!!!!

  • LOVE IT!!!

  • I just LOVED this group and still do !!! El was SOOOOO FYNE and still is :)

  • This song reminds me of my ex girlfriend who passed away of liver cancer at age 45, I cry every time I hear this song.

  • Comment removed

  • drugs destroyed this group. I grew up listening to them and I love them just the same. Timeless never gets old.

  • How many girls did he kill with that one wink, he should be charged! lol

  • O EL DeBarge era uma graçinha!O pai Robert DeBarge era branco dos olhos azuis

  • this group is, not was, golden

  • Correction. Even I'm getting them mixed up now.  Chico was never in Debarge. He only appeared with them in Punky Brewster but not on stage. Chico is a solo act.

  • El DeBarge may have a little body, BUT it's a sexy body and those jeans are fitting his little fine ass!!!!! And those big, sexy eyes......OH! I'm about to faint!!!!

  • @rosamaryful Girl, you crack me up ! You don't hold anything back.

  • @deedee79ms , So true, so true,LOL

  • awesome performance. chico was so cute when he had all that hair...

  • @14brightstars Chico was not in this line up. Think you mean El.

  • @purpleaudkoala1 no first of all i know what i mean. chico is the one in the red vest. if u look at his performance in 1986 for his song talk to me, u will see a whole bunch of hair. now he is bald. so thx i know who im talking about.

  • @14brightstars The one in the red vest is James as others will tell you. Chico was in the line up with Bobby when El left.

  • @14brightstars That's James in the red vest.

  • This is probably my favorite DeBarge song. I even have this ringtone. El was so cute back in the day and still is! I still can't believe the guy is 50.

  • @deedee79ms gurl yes. and life was so much simpler and the music

  • Do you remember your sweetheart that you thought about when this song came on the radio back in the day?

  • i was so in love with El DeBarge. Man I'm getting old. just sitting here reminiscing about life.

  • @LYRiC3tee8

    He is just as gorgeous as he ever was. He doesn't age, and that's the part that makes you feel older, cuz I have certainly changed! lol.

  • @LYRiC3tee8 I remember this jam back in the day and it does seem like a lifetime ago. But it's nice to listen to this song and think back on those days.

  • its the why he glide across the stage like he on skates, he's so smooth hmmmmm :}

  • tear* the song is great but i'm crying cause el looks good :'}

  • El and Bobby Debarge are the KING of FALSETTO'S!!! #FACT

  • This was my other skinny pretty boyfriend from the 80s (besides Mike)...lol...

  • I told you I be back with the DeBarge's!!!!!@

  • aww i love them!!! I just met El and Chico last week! Check out my vids xD

  • Must of been hard giving it your all competing against Michael Jackson.

  • that wink was NOT sexy...

    but, i'd still co him:)

  • that wink was NOT sexy...

  • El, if you want a woman who has been in love with you since the 80's , call me........

  • debarge time will reveal great song great song

  • This is one of the best love songs of all time.

  • don't be winkin at me, el. you gon make me try to find you. lol.

  • This is a very romantic song I love hhe 70's when all these singers were in love an knew how to sing a song that conveys a message

  • @ladyjae127 I definitely agree with you. But Time Will Reveal came out in 1983.

  • This was the slow jam ,back in the day. ...The Debarge boys are so fine...and with those smooth ass voices...

  • Classic.

  • I never realized how special this group is......damn this man can REALLY sing...what happened to our music...dis song is giving me chills...stay sexy El

  • that el debarge curl is just to cool

  • el is so fine and cute and shy and sweet....this family was very similar to the jacksons....a blessed group of people that made beautiful and gorgeous music

  • In this song El Debarge killing em softly without even trying. Natural born singer!!

  • He has not aged a bit. In fact he looks better now than he did back then.

  • nice outfits... lol 

  • This song is like love and romance and sex rolled into one motion!

  • Back in the days when lip-singing wasn't taboo.

  • If you don't like this song go kill yourself

  • @MrRamadan78 All right, I just shot a bottle of sleeping pills with a Liquid Drano chaser.........oh crap, you said "don't like"?? What's the number to 911??

  • @Mp25DIII , DAMN!!!! You got me with that one!!!!

  • El has such HUGE feet which means that he has a huge "YA KNOW"!!!!!.... and I'm ready for footlong "HOT DOG" right now!!!

  • El is the coldest 2 ever grab a mic, the brotha is untouchable as far as the family goes Jamrs, Bunny, Mark, randy, Chico,Tommy, Bobby they're my all time favorites as well.

  • mj had the the smoothest voice but el had the best falsetto ever

  • @hollowaz134 El was hot but he couldn't touch his brother Bobby with that falsetto. Bobby was a little bit higher than El

  • How can anyone dislike this?,this is classic he sings like an angel.

  • Michael Jackson and El DeBarge both have the best "Melody and Harmony" voices ever. That's what make their songs so GREAT. They are my two favorite singers in the whole world, with Prince coming in a close third.

  • 3 people didn't reveal time!! Come on now!!

  • @librarian5602 His dad died in 2009..I'm sure he hated himself especially after the death of his first son Bobby Jr. when he saw his last final seconds in the hospital..

  • Great song..love it..

  • they got that sway down boy!!!

  • @msbellamafia78 LOL! True dat!

  • amazing voice.

  • His voice is so hypnotizing! Even today, he still sounds just like he did in the 80s! I love this song and what a beautiful video. :) El is sound lovely! I love him and the rest of his siblings are great. What a blessed family to be be blessed with such amazing talent! Love the 80s and 90s music. Wish music like this would come back today because today's music is senseless! What happened to love songs like this??? Come on El honey. Bring the old school back!!! Show 'em what it's all about! :)

  • this was the shat back then when they first came out when they had everybody in tears the prettyest music in history they took a lot of flack for being half and half thats why god gave them angel voices and music

  • Don't forget...this is American Bandstand in the early 80's WHEN eLdEBARGE CAME OUT... Don't forget when they were out this is WHAT wHITE aMERICA DOES...WHEN THEY WANT TO COMPETE....IT GET'S UGLY!

  • Remember...BET used to be black owned...when they sold it the white people own it...they fucked it up....this is what happens when they want to own everything...greed took ova so this is what we get....call Hot 93.7 and tell the blacks want their shit

  • Why are they lip syncing? They are good enough to have done this live. Oh well, still the bomb. Debarge did a medly at the 2009 BET awards with this being one of the songs. He definitely tore it up and still has it. His latest album is great btw.

  • he kinda sounds like mj!

  • So glad we don't dress like they did back then lol! But, I love this song

  • where is bonnie??????...is she ok?????did not see on the show el did about his comeback....only saw chico...i know the other brothers are'nt with us anylonger RIP but is bonnie ok???

  • @anyhu4u.......Yeah, she's ok. I think she's just busy with her family because she has a lot of kids and grand children.

  • hahahaha FOUND IT FINALLY! hahahaha :)

  • where's the interview part?

  • Don't really have the moves like the Jackson family but Debarge truly have amazing vocals like the Jacksons. I love these talented siblings and this song was my jam.

  • @msdogooder shit, as well as they sing & compose they didn't have to know how to dance!

  • @bkbelly89 you are right about that! :)

  • I wore this shyt out back in the day!

  • BET was started by a white person.

  • @danewson sure!!! sure!!

  • my heart travels far away with this song! im lovin it! as much as i love you Ulises, i will love you forever, your love lives inside of me.

  • Has anyone heard Blackstreet sing this?

    Blackstreet changed the lyrics.......instead of "Time Will Reveal" they sing "I Know The Lord Is Real"....they did do a great rendition.....love this one!!!

  • Beautiful song & family. El was sexy back then, but i didn't realize it!

  • there are three idiots in this world

  • there are three idiots in this world

  • Jed Madela takes the highest note...

  • NOW THATS SOME REAL SINGING UNLIKE THAT LIP SYNCING BULLSHIT GOIN ON TODAY

  • Timeless...this song never goes out of style...

  • nice song..

  • luv ds song...just like angels singing..

  • i know for sure that if i was a teen when the fam was hot el would have been my favorite!lol

  • @librarian5602 if you think about it el has a fan base already from back in the day. he has already proven hmself.

  • jacksons #1 debarge#2

  • I just love this song so much. I don't even know what El is talking about but his voice is so transcending it takes me right back to the 80's.

  • i just close my eyes and just amagine

  • sooo much talent. amazing song. classic.

  • i love this song. el still fine as hell

  • i love this song. 

  • I miss these songs from the "80"s. I always get a little choked up thinking how quickly time has passed and how I miss this R & B music.

  • The amazing thing is that in November 2010, El sings this song in the same musical key hitting those high notes as well!!! His come back is definetly a testiment. He not only still sings well, but looks as good as ever! Welcome back El.

  • @false7sab Saw him sing this Saturday, yeah, he still has it! Taped it too. :)

  • I can't believe I forgot to add this to my iTunes.

  • I know I'm old. I remember watching this when it originally aired all those years ago. I was just a teenager then. I'm in my 40's now.

  • @lordcron LOL! I was in my 30's I done went and relpaced everything on CD bcuz I had it on LP. Also replaced music by Switch w/BobbyDebarge Well I just picked up where I left off when they broke up and got in trouble. He's back!

  • i think he sounds like his brother bobby they both sound good

  • thats why he got all dem babies. i'd had em too...with all those facial gestures and stuff. just too fine

  • who sang lead on for the group Switch, it was Debarge's mega talented brother Bobby DeBarge...Tommy DeBarge was part of the group as well...add The Best of Switch to your DeBarge collection...you'll die when you here the song You and I.

  • I hope and pray that no one on here gets angry because of what I said about Bobby and El DeBarge. I'm in no way saying that Bobby is a better singer than El however it has been said by El himself numerous times. Bobby and El's voices are so similar that El had a hard time getting out of Bobby's shadow. He was constantly being compared to him because of the amazing similarity not only in their falsetto ranges but in resemblance. It's actually kind of scary. If you ever wondered

  • @keyshamoonchild Bobby's voice was more powerful. Even El said in an interview that everytime Bobby opened his mouth it was perfect. Neither wanted to sing in the upper register (falsetto) (Bobby said her didnt want to sound like a sissy but the Switch band members said fans liked it and El didnt want to sing falsetto because he didnt want to sound like Bobby. A producer said you should be thankful if you can sound anything close to Bobby. Pull up Unsung Debarge has a good sgment about Debarges

  • This guy El is my biggest lifetime crush! Wow! It has never ended. I remember buying every Right On, Tiger Beat, Ebony, Essence, Jet, People etc....magazines with Debarge's picture on it just so I could stare at Eldra Patrick Debarge. If you all love El you should really check his older brother Bobby who sings lead on I Call Your Name and There'll Never Be for the group Switch which preceded the group DeBarge. Most people don't know that. Bobby's range was much higher than El's and magical.

  • @keyshamoonchild Saw El in concert recently and he sang medleys by Bobby (Switch) along with his classics and his new music from SecondChance...It all magically blended!...GENIUS. He opened for MaryJ. I can't wait until he headlines his own concert. I am going again!!!

  • THATS THE SHIT RIGHT THER!~!!

  • this song is GENIUS! this song is amazingi love it :)

  • @SuperYoungbee It's the melodic tune, harmonies, hooks, riffs It has everything. I saw a live concert recently and all the old music blended in with the new music....Seamless...I wonder if they had that in mind when they put these songs together...GENIUS!

  • Time has not revealed for 2 people,smh

  • ok so Randy didn't get the memo on what everyone was wearing...LOL

  • Nobody can hit that high note like El!

  • @eracism09 Hello! I might be telling my age here but you need to check out El's older brother Bobby Debarge of the group Switch. He was the lead singer and had a much higher range than El. They were out before the group DeBarge. I remember the day I heard Bobby's voice. It was like an angel fell out of the sky. He would even say that El's range was as close to his as it could get and he encouraged El. His voice was pure gold...effortless. They even resemble one another more than the others.

  • OMG...WTF...SMH....HIS FACIAL EXPRESSIONS ARE SO SEXI WHEN HE SINGS.......

  • I LOVE THIS VIDEO.......I WATCH IT EVERY TIME IM ON U TUBE,IT IS ONE OF MI ALL TIME FAVORITES......

  • OMG THAT WINK,THEM CROOKED TEETH THAT SMILE THEM LIPS....HE SO FU**ING SEXI.....

  • @MRSELDEBARGE: oh yes ms. lady, I love that litte crooked tooth too-thought I was the only one, lol!

  • This song is still the bomb! Takes me back to my very first love. It was our song. What's funny is after 27 years, we still remember this song and talk about it! Young love, Mike Fisher, sigh!

  •  @Crackersexwife and even though we went seperate ways and life took us down different paths it good that I once again found her and have at least a friendship. I will always love you Angie and will always wish things could have been different. You're a beatiful woman sweetheart!!

  • This song is still the bomb! Takes me back to my very first love. It was our song. What's funny is after 27 years, we still remember this song! Young love, sigh!

  • why are they not inducted in the hall of fame yet?

  • i love it!

  • I love seeing natural talent displayed amongst people that have close relationships. You can see the connection between family members in this video, rather than a "super group" filled with artists that were strategically put together and have no connection. Its amazing how a whole family can have talent like that and hone it on their own. The Jackson family, the Debarge family, the Osmond family and many more. Who's next?

  • @bigbake2k yeah these families were unique back in the day

  • 0:27 EPIC WINK PWNED TIMELESS

  • He sings like a retard. LMAO.

  • @imuthis28 but let's be true to ourselves... you finished watching the video right? XD

    

  • @09kitty23 err, no..should I have? will it change my perception? XD

  • @imuthis28 maybe... XD

  • @09kitty23 Ahahaha! I can't stand it. Plus, the sync dance/sway step. No offense to the singer. XD

  • @imuthis28 to tell you honestly... i love them.. truly.. but this video is kind of weird i think they are lipsynchin' since those times not a whole lot of people knows it yet. so... the voice sound so studio recording'ish and perfect.. but anyways its his voice so i shouldnt complain.. but i really do like them alot.

  • @09kitty23: everyone lip synched on American Bandstand, SoulTrain, and Solid Gold. Everybody.

  • As i wake , i thank my God 4 waking me up ,this morning .EL DEBARGE i thank you 4 making me realize how my God has touched our hearts our mind and soul within you.I thank you and even when you think you don't have apart of this .GOD comes alone and show you what are needed and why you are here. i love you EL DEBARGE KEEP SINGING 4 US WE LOVE YOU AND GOD DO TOOOOOOO. MS. FORBIDDENFLAVOR GOT YOUR BACK .....I LOVE YOU EL DEBARGE......

  • luv him then and he still looks soooooooo good now... and that voice, just got better with age...awwwh! 

  • WOW..still gives me chills!

  • I HEART El Debarge

  • are they gay?

  • @tiggy411

    No! Not one of them.:)

  • I just love this group,though I was born in 1990,I watched Unsung and the last dragon and soon after I bought the best of CD after that I just loved the music,This group is one of the best of all time.

  • FYI they did honor the Debarge family

  • Which one is Chico De Barge?

  • @clashofthetitans03

    Chico was never apart of the Debarge group. He was always solo.:)

    That's El (lead), James, Randy, and Marty on this vid. Then of course Bunny.

  • Oh my that wink gets me everytime!!

  • @ilovemusicalot07 yes yes. He so bad! Just playing. He has charisma to share. My prayers are with him and his family.

  • I agree with you tonilynbell. BET honors is a joke. In fact, the whole BET station has become a joke. I no longer watch their specials like the hip hop awards, etc because there's just a bunch of ghetto, wannabe gangsters on there. It's not real music.in fact, you can't understand or relate to the lyrics at all. Shame on you BET. You aren't helping society by uplifting these ghetto fags of today. I can't stand this ghetto meaningless music that they make today. You will be held accountable.

  • @watermelonguzzer You homie, ARE ON POINT!!!!!

  • @watermelonguzzer Testify!

  • I agree Puff Daddy didn't deserve that honor. They've probably been paid off.

  • Wow..the Debarges were soooo young....nostalgia..I was in middle school when this song came out...the clothes, hair styles...crazy times them 80's

  • super oldies step.. :)) but i love the song so much.. haist.! love the feeling of being loved.. :)

  • I swear to god the biggest shock for me was finding out that they were not hispanic. Man you could have knocked me over with a feather with that one. I was especially convinced by the two brothers on the left when they were in the Rhythm of the Night video, i would never had guessed otherwise. Their mom looks like a black hispanic, dominican woman. They are all beautiful and can sing their asses off!....I Love Them!!!!

  • @darkkkonyx lol..i thought they were ricans...lol...especially some of their names had me thinking..

  • Yes he's so cute, love the the wink, so fun to watch! he's a little off with the lip syncing, but its all good. lol

  • Comment removed

  • I love the dancing. Classic :) El DeBarge is a blessing. Thank god for his amazingly beautiful, velvety, voice. I love his metamorphosis from 80's star to gangsta with DJ Quik!

  • DEBARGE IS THE TRUTH. MAN THEY HAVE GOT TO COME BACK. But am glad EL is coming back it about time that real music is returning.

  • He so skinny and cute....aaaaaaaaah

  • this is one of a kind, it melts my heart. the way he move im soo in love with him so lovely. how i wish i meet him n real

  • Now this is music!

  • grand rapids,mi in the building

  • 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

  • El DeBarge was THE MAN back in the day with that silky voice:)
