[rosamaryful]

James really did his thing on this song!! Sounds good!!

[XxBabyGurlLovexX]

Can't stop playing this song! I can play it over and over and over again if I wanted to and never get tired of it! James sounds so good singing this!!! :D What a feel good jamming bass and instrumental. GO DEBARGE!! The best ever! #1 fan right here for life!! :D

[bxgrl4ever]

I had the honor of actually seeing Bobbi Debarge in pasadena & I could tell he was high as a kite. It saddened me to see him that way, but I never stopped loving the family or their music. They may not have had "videos" but you can trust for those of us who remember, the "Debarge Clan" are down in music history. Don't know if you guys know but "El" is back & his song (no surprise) is a hit with Faith Evans "Lay with you".. Thanks for the memories.. Debarge fan for life..lol

[mzzvaughan]

HEYYYYYY! GET IT JAMES!!! I LOVE THE INSTRUMENTAL BREAK AS WELL!!

[MegaMoneyMania]

I WISH DEBARGE HAD MORE VISUALS, IF THEY HAD VIDEO'S OUTSIDE OF RHYTHM OF THE NIGHT THEY'RE CAREER COULD'VE BEEN UP THERE WIT THE JACKSONS! THEY HAD THE HITS AND THEY'RE NOT HIDEOUS LOOKIN

THEY HAD THE TOTAL PACKAGE, IT'S SAD HOW EVERYTHING PLAYED OUT FOR THE GROUP I DAMN NEAR CRIED WATCHING THEY'RE "UNSUNG" ON TV ONE. THEY WENT THROUGH SOME HEAVY TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS

[MoNicholasLaird]

Nice slap bass.

[drgonz1]

I didn't know Eric Cartman of SouthPark had a band in the 80's???

[MrHopeTelevision]

@drgonz1 fail

[clevagirl73]

I still chuckle when I hear this song. It was corny even back in the day but I suppose they had to give James a chance to write and sing a song.

[BlueRose0509]

OMG-LOVED THIS SONG BACK IN HIGH SCHOOL (did I just date myself?) DeBarge was "funky-fresh" back then, and I was either going to marry El DeBarge or Randy Jackson (Michael's baby brother, NOT AI judge, but Randy had my heart....anyway...). This entire album was LAVA!

[mzzvaughan]

THIS IS CLASSIC!!

[alphaql]

man oh MAN! This was my last year in Jr. High when this album came out. LOVE IT!

[delledean2020]

This song is great!! Yeah yeah yeah yeaaaah!!!!

[LisaRenaye]

This whole album is filled with master pieces. DeBarge, my favorite group of all time. And thanks 1Melodie you read my mind.....get it right ya'll when speaking on DeBarge.......

[GhettoKarter1992]

they almost sound like New Edition!

[JaslenaLove]

Dude i Used to Love New Edition!{Well mostly cause of Ralph Tresvant} But Yah..!!

[1Mellodee]

You mean N.E. sounds like Debarge-they were First.

[Tightspagirl]

This is a really good song indeed.

[akesha1]

This whole album is just a classic.

[KittiesJason]

[akesha1]....word!

[grim2k6]

this was the cut school memories

[odinson43]

what a time to be young when this song was out, 20 single and in schweinfurt, germany,running around wit wives, snitzelheads, and my boyz from my unit. life sure was sweet then, unlike todays venomous society.

[bria129312]

i love love love this song...... i was always a fan of debarge, but when i saw their unsung episode i fell in love.. i used sing this song in class when i was in the fifth grade my teacher would always tell me i was to young to know that song...

[mariod32000]

Sorry Kevin1278, we do not need anybody to remake this CLASSIC hit, it sounds good just the way it is!!!!! DEBARGE!

[kevin1278]

I like this cut. I can see Justin Timberlake redoing this song.

[siapha]

really tho!

[icechips2005]

James voice is one of a damn kind...LOL! He's kinda weird to me but he's great to look at ALL DAY!

[86pimp3]

James sang like this to sound different from El. His natural voice is like El's without as much range.

[38106chick]

Hey everybody, when you see a "Comment Pending" next to your comment, there's no need to post multiple times. I have it set up this way because I review all of posts to weed out spam. Thanks.

[Kimmica20]

lol Tell us how you really feel about him girl. I agree James is fine and I was into him major back in the day, he still has it going on.

[NasharaLaunyiah1992]

James Debarge had a weird voice. Kind of strangled.
