El DeBarge - Real Love (1989)

[rivotte1822]

WOW!!That boy can dance. 01-29-12.

[PhedXMan7]

i remember when this came out, all me and my friends could say. El finally learned how to dance...hahah...go el go

[rosamaryful]

Looking at this video makes me wonder have El ever f*cked and white women. His baby mamas are either black or red boned, but not white. Things that makes you go...Hmmm.

[AleekahTV]

I really did not know that El could move like that. I always had a feeling that him, Bunny, and Randy had the most rhythm out of the family.

[false7sab]

Oh, I forgot to say that El sings  'Somebody Loves You' on Arsenio Hall.

[false7sab]

I see that most of the young one's on here didn't know that El can dance! I guess that's because he mostly sings love ballads. However, when he chooses to render a dance number, El fans know that El gets his sexy groove on! For more 'dancing' El , check out his LIVE performance on the Aseneo Hall show here on youtube. There he has Bunny and Randy on background vocals along with other DeBarge family members on stage with him. You'll see Tommy on the guitar too! El can dance for sure!

[lecompasmanOne]

yes......pour les danseurs

[rosamaryful]

I'm aching for a real love like you EL!!

[rosamaryful]

I will DO El DeBarge anywhere, anytime, and anyhow!!! I agree with tasha1985, because I would ENJOY EL shooting his babies inside me!!!!!

[isuriadireja91]

one of the best jams that year fo sho...!!

[delledean2020]

LOL @ 0:45 is that arsenio hall I see jammin to this song?

[TheAithWONDER]

OMG, I totally forgotttttttt about this song. Aww Yeh!

[jaedub74]

THIS IS THE SHYT...I REMEMBER DOIN THE DANCE MOVES TO THIS VID...JUST SHOWED IT TO MY 15 YR OLD SHE LOVES IT TOO...IF IT WASN'T FOR THE DEBARGE FAM LIGHT SKINNED BRUHS WOULDN'T HAVE A CHANCE....MULTI TALENTED FAMILY....AND THE NEW JOINT IS THE BIZZZZZ!!!

[InsaneJokerPosse]

Yeah....El can get it. Right now.



[musicallycreative24]

dis sound str8 remind mi of michael jackson tho a lil

[helleuw]

[XxBabyGurlLovexX]

3:09-3:24!! Ooohhh yes! LOVE HOW HE MOVES THAT BODY!! GO AHEAD EL!!! DO YOUR THANG BABY!!! AHAHA LOVE IT!!! :D <333

[Pipo972]

the moves from 2:40 to the end are just DAMN crazy! I'll learn them with a friend to show off on party dancefloors :P

[KLD2005]

I sooooo love this man....Prayin for you EL:) Please come back to stay!

[Afanlynness]

he is a nice boy ....handsome ..beautiful...sweet ...

[taliapooh11]

0:29 the most priceless move ever!

[KLD2005]

@taliapooh11 I know right:)

[taliapooh11]

Dang El can move his body really good in this vid! this song is to awesome to hate!

[mrvegas1960]

I am telling you El DeBarge can move that body .... I love this video and the song. When i watch choreograghy that is this hot, i appreciate all the work, talent and time that it takes to make a video like this. Awesome.

[miamac63utube]

@tasha1985 Whew! Thanks for showing your true colors. Now I know you are 'one of those' ignorant women who opens their legs at a minute's notice and has children to gain a welfare check or support check. The ones who don't care about the future or life of a child. Good luck on that one hon. I bet it has ser ved your well. Not worried about you ever getting close to El or any other man with common sense; just cared about the way you thought of 'children' and bringing them into this world

[bestmusic96]

El was workin' to pay the rent with those moves! LOL! One of my favorite videos!

[jiji1158]

now thats dancin

[tunbev]

Didnt know El could move like this cuz seems this fam wuz more about singing than dancing..this song reminds me of lyrics( friday night just got paid) it is a sample or just a similarity..at any rate...S-E-X-Y as you wanna BE!!

[LHayes25]

El gettin it...

[mrinnervisionz]

All i gotta say is that, El deBarge's new cd (Second Chance) is off the chainz. Everybody needs 2 go get that right now,there are so many great songs on it,it's hard 2 choose a favorite!

[XxBabyGurlLovexX]

@mrinnervisionz I have it and OMG I love it! Play it everyday! :)

[llehcin]

I remember the rumor was this song was about Janet.

[weezy11972]

El was movin!!!!!! you better dance...lol

[mrsmjackson1]

He says he just likes to write love songs. I guess he doesnt like to work this hard. Probably Motown wanted him to go this direction. He sure is capable and I would love to see him do some of this in his future act but its kind of out of character. But waaaay good to see. Sexy for sure and amazingly good and natural looking.

[songcandid]

GET IT! ; )

[ices0284]

Yo he killed those moves. Look at that footwork!

[Cejuan25]

What's the dance @ 2:43 called?

[rustyglock212]

@Cejuan25 It never had a name and as bad ass as it was, it never caught on. The Roger Rabbit and Cabbage Patch that they're doing were popular but THAT dance didn't.

[dillikins]

Pop was a lot funkier in the 80s than it seems to be in the 2000s.

[Aariyan096]

This video reminds me of House Party with the beat of the song reminding me of early 90s music. I liked seeing El dance.

[ShamironOnline]

those were the days!

[fede4real]

what a jam

[69shortshit]

GET IT ELDRA!!!

[dot4design]

I´m still DANCING!!!!!!!!

[dot4design]

Nothing better then a steamy dancesong in the eighties.....MORE FANTASTIC ´80´s music at my channel!!!!!

[MsGeeowens]

I love this video! El is the MAN. He can dance, too!

[xxbabiroxi20]

[lpc0615]

I'm falling in love with all the Debarge men. They are all soo damn fine especially that Chico. I may be 28 but I would marry El Debarge.

[DEbargelover123]

[deycallmemiss89]

[onehart99]

A " milk crate " classic. I can not think of many people that remember this song no less have the vidoe. Trac88Lennon1 consider yourself a music afficionado.

[piankhy123]

Thanks for uploading this video onto youtube

[bmoregrl88]

I love this song & I agree with everyone on here, El Debarge is toooo fine in this video..if only i was my age now in '89 LOL..this is a little bit before my time

[Geeljasjes]

We need more of these tight grooves today.

[delledean2020]

"never gonna work, never gonna make it!" I love this song, could've done without the big sister in the right corner, but still nice!!! Love You El!!!!

[mack1820]

CONTROL..................

[essenceofebony0to9]

Time to groove. Go El, YoU wear it well. I love this song.

[chaliceofchange]

@essenceofebony0to9 Yes and the Janet jackson reference is the ish!!!!!!!!!!!! I loved the 90's sound!!

[essenceofebony0to9]

El is jammin in this video.

[Vegasjazzfilms]

I didnt know he was addicted to drugs just got out of rehab, much love.

[essenceofebony0to9]

What is it, about the men that sing in this octave. I love El's voice!

[Reneefah7]

nice song :)

[tasha1985]

damn I'd let el shoot all his babies in me

[larryjackson4125]

You go girl..... Only if you beat me to it first.... LOL

[GetTheLook2010]

@tasha1985 lololol!! No you didn't say that!

[idealsweetlove]

@tasha1985 OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!......lmao

[miamac63utube]

@tasha1985 that is sooo nasty that I think I just threw up in my mouth. ugh. i guess that is how some of those women had babies in spite of his crack addiction. i cry for children who do not have parents who can either properly afford them or spend quality time with them in their upbringing because it is way tooo man of them. but I always questioned the mothers (who are the carriers of the children) for why they did such a horrible thing? i have two and thank God it was a conscious decision

[tasha1985]

@miamac63utube

shut that change the world shit up..cus am not trying hear it.

If that's how you feeel go protest on the streets. Instead of wasting your time

on the internet.

[rosamaryful]

@tasha1985 ,Fuck miamac63utube!!! That's a silly slut!!! She's taking your statement too damn seriously!! That bitch ain't dumb and she knew what you meant!! I agree with you all the way!!

[tasha1985]

@rosamaryful

Yea, girl.. I don;t pay attentin to simple bitches...haha

[rosamaryful]

@tasha1985 , I feel ya Honey!!

[XxBabyGurlLovexX]

@tasha1985 LOL IKR! Sexy man.

[rosamaryful]

@tasha1985 , I would too girl!! In a damn heartbeat with NO REGRETS AND NO APOLOGIES!!!!

[deedee79ms]

@rosamaryful I agree with both of you ladies! I'm 32 and have no kids. I would have his baby, but shhh, just don't tell my BF. Lol! I see why he got 12 kids! That is one fine ass man.

[rosamaryful]

@deedee79ms ,LOL, LOL, LOL  I hear ya girl!!

[JaslenaLove]

[JaslenaLove]

[tinaroena]

I forgot this one too but it was a hit.. like it gets u going....

[iamDamitaJo]

Sup Baby!!!

i really loved this song too....i appreciate it so much more now. He was interviewed a couple of weeks ago on the Brian McKnight show and he played the keyboards and sang and it was awesome. Brian was harmonizing with him too...very emotional, he spoke briefly about his struggles. it was an encore because i missed it the first time it was aired. Brian was gracious to us DeBarge fans....

[gwenise]

I was glad to know that El could dance after all :-)

[iamDamitaJo]

wow....i havent heard this song in YEARS!!!!

thanks for this post...damn man, thanks.

[reneemint]

I forgotten about this song, great jam!

[70sbaby80schild4ever]

I heard this song on the radio back in the day. I was 12 back in 1989.

[justinbieberlover191]

that is my man

[Ellasings7]

I know my husband got it going on. Ladies you know that's

right!. Fine as wine, great singer and sexy as hell. I love

being Mrs.Eldra Patrick DeBarge...lol

[JaslenaLove]

Ellasings7,Girl you qot it wrong thatsmy man!

[Xscapefan4ever1408]

I'm upset that this song is not on El Debarge's Ultimate Collection CD.

[piankhy123]

Thanks for uploading this video onto Youtube

[Ellasings7]

lol. Love the comments. Except why is all these women after

my husband?. Sorry ladies, he's taken care of very well..

[inatrampolina]

lol @ Ellasings7 :D

[Ellasings7]

I seen El out here in L.A. before and he was wearing a jogging suit, I saw him walk pass the wash house I was

at with my friend. He waved the black power sign at me, I was like " OH MY GOD!" That was El Debarge. I ran outside and he was gone. I said DAMN THAT BROTHA WAS FINE AS ALL GET UP! He is so tall and slim, but a real cutie pie.

My husband is the BOMB!.

[frenchie510]

El is fine beyond words and he was getting it in this video. lol

[1musicencyclopedia]

I remember when this song came out my friends and I would party at the clubs titled Paradise 24, Tibiereose and Victoria's Station . That's was when goin to the club was fun. El was 'the bomb' back then.

[bns779]

Man this is one of hottest songs off this album! I wish I could find it again.

[baassiecool]

Just one of the greatest...

[AntuanPace]

El totally killed Secret Garden! he sounded EXCELLENT on that song!

[hyphiegirl12]

he can be parole to my house

[JeremyForest]

Ah man! This song is dope! This is the era when music was good and parents, children, and grandparents can really enjoy. So talent about El DeBarge! I know he is out of prison this month, continue to make good music and I pray that you find healing.

[BenJabituya]

WORK IT, EL!!!

[Djalibaba28]

He looks so sexy. and he can dance

[DEEDUBB1979]

I remember when this came out. El performed this on Soul Train and he was wearing a headset. His sound is funky. This is from his 2nd solo album ''Real Love'' in 1989. Great album. The other cut was titled ''Turn the Page''

[molokat]

i forgot all about this video. the style of video is a mix of janet and bobby brown . i'm sure that's what motown was going for

[foreverlarge]

El is a great dancer although it was very rare to see him perform that way in public. Wouldn't it be great if El does DANCING WITH THE STARS. I know the show to many is a place for has been stars to shine again, but hey after El gets out of prision he must rebuild a career that has almost totally been destroyed. DANCING WITH THE STARS may be the perfect vehicle to stage a comeback. Think of the exposure.

[frenchie510]

yeah it would be great to see El on dancing with the stars, he has my vote just for being fine alone!

[fckinhawt01]

he too fine for words

[moonbeam2484]

This song's got a nice, funky beat, and El's voice sounds smooth and innocent. He sounds more like Bobby Debarge than all the other brothers. There could have been brighter colors in the video, but the song is a feel-good dance tune!

[fede4real]

I think the video is grat except for no eye cotact with camara or El close ups,makes it weak.BU tlight and coreo is tight.The joint is funky.. not my fav but a good hit the album is just awesome to say the least,a masterpiece.I think cros my heart woulda been better single

[ashnickwill]

k he is tooo damn fine, he could sing to me ALL DAMN DAY... i kno he fucked one of them dancers to.. cause hea playa like that..

[angelalonnettpreston]

yeah, nd one of them dancers wuz me...lolsz...jk, this was the year i was born when this song came out

[JVB2389]

ashnickwill: how do you know that lol?

[cb4077]

Great song. He had 2 talented dancers in the video. So my question...WHY IS HE TRYING TO DANCE?

[fckinhawt01]

cause he can dance that is why he is trynna dance...lol

[cb4077]

Actually, he looks like he is all over the place. Cant blame him for trynna..:)

[fede4real]

I think he has a great rythm sense hes an awesome musician producers he can def dance.He's funky jazzy classy style.Singer songwriter keyboradist to me the most talented complete artist alive. 2bad drugs got in between

[shellco1969]

He did the best he could do.

He is an entertainer. El is too fine.

[willtynellyworth]

Eldra is not only an amazing singer, but a good dancer. He looks like he was having so much fun in this video. I loved him since I was little. I pray that he comes back right and ready to tour....I will try my best to follow for a few states. Miss You Eldra!

[ashnickwill]

def. best part for me is the bridge.. amazing singer fuckin GORGEOUS!!! omg el wouldnt have to say anything to me he could look at me and i would be on my back in a second lol..... omy word, they dont come like that anymore!!!

[MUSICENCYLOPEDIA]

[lbettyboop28]

[DEJOUVETT]

When is his release date?

[MUSICENCYLOPEDIA]

The spring of 1989, and it got good reviews. This single was a top ten R&B hit and co-written with his brother Darnell.

[MUSICENCYLOPEDIA]

My bad I miss read your question. He got a 2 year sentence. He will be released in 2010. I pray that he gets clean and sober.

[mzright23]

EL was dancing his butt off!!! He was getting it....I think I have to add this to one of my favorites!!! Gone El, with your bad self!!!!

[fckinhawt01]

god bless el debarge..he is still an AMAZING, FANTASIC talent

that goes for his family too

[oknonook]

el moves really good

[BLAKPEARL69]

yeah he does.

[BLAKPEARL69]

this is my jam. i used to look forward to seeing this video. my sis had this on cassette and i would run this song and make you mine.

[BLKJEW01]

Everybody needs to pray to GOD and ask him to help EL kick his drug addiction,because a lot of people want to put him down but i had an addiction myself and without GOD it is next to impossible to let it go,so please pray for this man. Also i pray for his protection while he is in prison,because he is a little guy who is only 130 lbs at the time he went in. I hope the prison he is in will put him in isolation for his own protection from the preditors in prison.

[anthonykeithjohnson3]

I hate to here that about you and El debarge, that boy know he can sang his damn face off. He has such great talent to let it go to waste. And congradulation for kicking your drug habit

[sydjohnson07]

El DeBarge is so fucken fine..

[ashnickwill]

OMG he was SOOO damn fine!!!!
