Unsung DeBarge
Breathe On Me-- Mama DeBarge
I Was Wondering If Anyone Cares To Share Their Thoughts: Why Hurting People Tend To Hurt Those They Love?
For those of you who remember the group DeBarge (composed of 5 family members similar to the Jackson 5) who were catapulted onto the music scene back in early 80's, the lead singer El DeBarge is back and with a fury! Although I had no idea what happened to the DeBarges at the time they seemingly evaporated into thin air as suddenly as they had appeared.
I saw El make his comeback on the BET Music Awards and was surprised as well as elated to see him singing with that beautiful falsetto voice that he as well as his late eldest brother Robert "Bobby" Louis DeBarge (of Motown's "Switch") are known for; Tommy DeBarge was also apart of "Switch" and that was one of the (as Don Cornelius would say) "funkiest and baddiest" groups ever! It (his music sound and clean lyrics) was refreshing to hear El sing again.
El DeBarge has a CD entitled, “Second Chance" and what a second chance he's getting after being incarcerated which I had no idea, because this was during the time I was heavy into "being religious" and not following anything secular but that's another blog for another day.
The point of this blog, 'Why Hurting People Tend To Hurt Those They Love' is to reflect our thoughts on the cycle of pain, addiction, and self hate that many people encounter. After becoming re-infatuated with the DeBarges, I learned of the great matriarch of the family Etterlene "Mama D" DeBarge who has written a book chronicling the accounts of the hurt and pain her late husband, Robert Louis DeBarge, Sr. inflicted upon her and their 10 children. Papa DeBarge was alledged to have abused some his older children both s*xually and physically which may have contributed to the entire DeBarge family's cycle of pain, addiction, and self hate.
Although El's older brother Bobby didn't get to have the second chance he desired after being released from prison due to complications AIDS, he left two handsome heirs. El, his mother, and sister Bunny, the only female mbr of DeBarge are all telling their very powerful stories, but will people listen to their collective message(s) of hurt, pain, addiction, and self hate? Why is it that hurting people tend to hurt those they love?
