    "Secret Garden" was one of the most romantic, classic and timeless songs in R&B. When you have a combination of 4 sexy brothers, Al B. Sure, Barry White, James Ingram AND El Debarge caressing you with their melodic voices, NOT TO MENTION, the musical mastermind, Quincy Jones producing, you've got an epic masterpiece of unspoken measure🎶🎵🎼!!!! Priceless Perfection, show ya right😉!

      Yeah, seems as though El was barely mentioned considering the fact that he wrote both his part and Barry Whites parts. Yep, that's right for those who didn't know. I remember the various interviews with some of them including quincy jones, in RightOn magazine, BlackBeat and Jet magazine. And, it was mentioned by Donnie Simpson on Video Soul. This is what happens when you're tricked out of your publishing.

Garrett that also has a song with El DeBarge which is on my youtube channel if you haven't heard it, before he mentioned El.

      El DeBarge had that quite confidence about himself and knew who and what he was. Barry was Barry, and James had his career going for awhile at that point. Al was happy and thankful to be there , but at that point, he was in over his head when it comes to the other guys.
      That being said, this is a great song and in my top 10 all time. Thanks to Quincy Jones for putting a great mix of talent together to pull this off.

I remember El DeBarge claiming he wrote the part that Al sang and later Al sued Quincy because it became a million seller and he wanted writing credit along with Q, El and Seideh. Their was a lot of drama behind the making of this classic and hopefully the truth will come out. I guess only Time Will Reveal.their live performance of this classic on the Soul Train Awards was amazing however.
