One day at a time. I love you and your family. They say struggles make us stronger. I don’t always feel that way when going thru mine. But I have watched you continue to try. I know it’s not easy. But you keep trying. Love, A True Fan ❤️🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽
@ElDeBargeVevo Hi El. First I wanna send condolences on the passing of your beloved mother, Etterlene. ❤ Then I wanna tell you I bought this album when it was first released and I loved it. I hadn't listened to it in years, and something last night said listen to that album tomorrow, and I did. I was so touched today, because of the emotion that you put into the music. Whether you wrote all the lyrics or not, the way you expressed the music in song was beautiful, and I know you wrote Second Chance yourself, and that's my favorite song on this whole album. Thank you for all the years of sharing your art with us thru the ups and downs of your life and career. I appreciate you. The fight never ends. Hold tightly to your faith El.
Michele Scott Nominated for Best R&B song: Second Chance Best R&B album: Second Chance Best Male R&B Vocal Performance: Second Chance but he was competing against younger artists.
My husband and I love this song. Sadly, he died of a drug overdose on May 4, 2020. I pray that everyone who reads this stops using drugs. He was only 39. Young, fine, white, funny and handsome. God bless all of you.
My First Love was a Alcoholic. I broke up with him . We had a second chance and he chose the Alcohol over me. He was handsome, Black and Sioux. He was my heart and he broke it. He passed in 2022 at age 59 from addiction to alcohol. 😢
I have always loved El DeBarge. This song "Second Chance" is the most touching, truest form or redemption I have ever heard. This song is beautiful. I love it.
When I first heard this song maybe 8 yrs ago, I was stopped in my tracks. I had to stop the car because this song was so incredible and touched my heart....especially his high vocal range at toward the end. Chills up my spine. Have always loved El and saw him 2 yrs ago in concert. He was AWESOME
The Debarges are as talented, as, they are damaged, and, as flawed, as, they are flawless...Tragedy tends to strike the truly blessed...Sad, but, true.
He should have went into movies...He sure has movie star looks probably a musical. But he's got to be the leading man of course. El is fine. I hope he's doing well he and his family.
I never thought of that,he would've been awesome,I saw him two years ago and he was amazing after all he endured he looks amazing.He has that Clark gable look to him
After fighting demons/the drinking...etc he has turned his life around for the better n has a great relationship with God...which we all should have😍luv his music... #GiveUsAnotherAlbumLegend #ThankGodForSecondChances
+agil gila agreed that should show how powerful his voice was as a young man.... 🙌🙌🙌 Imagine him being under the wing of Michael Jackson, not as competition but as mentor.....
Man when I first heard this song, I was so happy to hear his beautiful voice again. I mean I have listened to him in the past, but after all that he went through and he's back, I absolutely love the comeback. THANK GOD FOR 2ND CHANCES!!
This can be an inspiration to anyone who’s trying to rise from their past mistakes and current circumstances. You got a second chance to make it through. Go for it 😇
God's Grace & Mercy are so very overwhelming! Because everybody deserves a Second Chance to change! Because He is just, faithful, & true to forgive. Thank you for your testimony! El Debarge! Truly God changes you from the inside out behind your imperfections and from your past issues behind with your family with your brothers and sister.
This is such a beautiful and up lifting song. Thanks El for writting this inspirational song. I listing to this everyday. God Bless the DeBarge family.
I could look at this video ALL day and night !!! As a huge El DeBarge fan, I am elated that he has returned and I thank God for blessing this man with this enormous talent beyond belief and I pray good health and happiness for him and a continued awesome career - El has a voice of an angel - the entire CD is incredibly awesome !!!!!!!!! xoxoxoxoxo to EL DEBARGE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
EL was born with that God Given Gift 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾Amen Amen Amen ❤❤❤ The Whole Family Can Sing. They All were Blessed with those Voice.Glory To God 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Everytime I hear El DeBarge sing this song it sends chills up my spine. I feel the words and his honesty when he sings this song. Looking good and glad he defeated his demons. Still got that voice. Applauding you always. Keep striving and NEVER give in to the negativity around. Embrace all positive vibes!!!!!
This song has a real and personal meaning to me. I've listened too it many many many times,but after I came home from my kidney transplant This song became my anthem. A second chance is what I'm looking at. Cuz I believe what I can't see,it's like a bell that keeps on ringing calling me...sniff.
I love me some El DeBarge .he should be recognized for such beautiful music.. His whole family has just beautiful voices.. they certainly in my opinion haven’t received all the deserved!
Wow! I'm in Awe! Most people who abused drugs really messed their voices up but he really got a second Chance that the drugs didn't take that beautiful voice. I really didn't expect for that falsetto voice of El's to be that strong after all he's been through. That Babyface must've written that song with him bcuz it's a tailor made hit for him. Love you El, from one recovering addict to another, stay strong! 👏👏👏
Michelle Summer Have you seen the interview with Deya Direct and Chico Debarge's candid interview about his drug problems, how it got started and his near death experiences from an over drugs. Deya is a child of drug addicts.
Get it, El, taking us back to the Old School Contemporary roots! The 2nd Cousin of mine belting like a TRUE OG. The one who taught him and his siblings their craft, that's my Auntie, she's a REAL OG
El, I grew up near you in Motown. I know how tough it was because I had family members going thru the some of the things you and your family were. I pray things are better. You're in my prayers, just remember I can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. Phil 3:14. That's one of my favorite scriptures. Also, a great poem to read is footsteps in the sands! I pray all is well with you and never give up! You still have a lot people there and praying for you!💓
2024 am still love'n this song.... Thank you for this song El Debarge ❤🎼🎹 This song has deep redemptive healing attributes, brings tears each time it hear it... had to get the CD.... glad I did it was the only one left, still tugs my heart strings❤❤❤❤😊😊
I just saw him on FB singing for Monica's wedding which prompted me to look him up. I remember his songs from back in the day, although I was born in the 80s. He has overcome! He sounded beautiful at the wedding and I absolutely love this song and his story really comes out in the music video! I wish him the best!
Father Time , has definitely passed him by his voice is like a Angel despite everything he and his family has endured just goes to show what God has for YOU is for YOU 😘NO Condemnation Hallelujah Praise God El Debarge😍😍
It makes no sense how fine this man is. He looks better now than he did in the 80's. That voice melts my soul him and Bobby. Come sing to me at my house I will give you as many chances as you need or want! !!!!!!!
I'm reading as many of the comments as I possibly can and I am moved by all the positive feedback as I embrace all that is good you all have really encouraged me God is so Great, So Gracious and Merciful All Glory to ALMIGHTY GOD!!
Great to see you back El.

I always thought he looked like a young Cab Calloway. He definitely could play him in a movie.
Michael Jackson would be so proud! Love it!
