Music Review: De Barge

They were one of Motown's best known acts of decades back - a group named for their shared surname, which included the brothers James, Randy, Mark and El, and their sister Bunny.

DeBarge.

With their gifted vocals, musical genius and ability to excel in known genres R&B, soul and funk music, DeBarge was able to hit a winning chord for music fans, and fittingly this latest CD gives proper tribute to the group.

Called "DeBarge - The Definitive Collection", the album boasts of 16 tracks which not only takes you back in time in the 80s to remember not only their songs but the decade in general; their music successful enough to leave a mark with the pop culture of that time.

Those who still remember popular songs from that decade will not be difficult to recall the upbeat and danceable track that is "Rhythm Of The Night." One could also remember the intimate whispers of "Time Will Reveal" which was once a favorite of local airwaves. Another warm and easy-listening ballad,"Who's Holding Donna Now", was another keeper at the FM band.

Other songs to note are the ones from El DeBarge, as his two hits as a solo artist are featured here: the melodic "Love Always" and "Who's Johnny" - an infectious and energetic track in the same vein of "Rhythm Of The Night".

"DeBarge - The Definitive Collection" is brought to you exclusively by MCA Music Inc.
