A few weeks ago, I was graced with the presence of the one and only El DeBarge at Chicago's hottest new club, (and one of my favorite spots) The Shrine.
The talented singer and musician performed all of the faves from Switch's "There"ll Never Be" and "I Call Your Name" to his hits with DeBarge that included "Time Will Reveal", "I Like It", "All This Love" and "Rhythm of the Night". With Chicago musicians and backup vocals backing him in the intimate setting of the club's atmosphere, it really felt like all of El's love was with each and every one of us. At least, I felt like it was for me (he looked right at me twice, I don't care what my sister says, but I digress...).
What can I say? That man has still got it! He had me screaming like a teenager one moment, while shedding a tear like a lovestruck lady the next. He hit every note and could still move like he did 2o+ years ago. It's no secret El has faced tragedy and experienced difficult times in his life. But, he wants (and deserves) a second chance, which is why he's coming out with his new CD, Second Chance, set to be released at the end of the month. His track with Faith on the CD is pretty tight, I must say.
Much love to El and thank you for bringing your love and talents to Chicago!
