      ​​@@DeCurtaRican Not true, Bobby even in El's opinion is literally THEE BEST voice in the family & he is most assuredly THEE BEST FALSETTO VOICE EVER RECORDED. He indeed was a tremendous vocal talent. Not many who weren't alive at that time know how amazing of a sanger Bobby was. But he alone was El's hugest influence & even Berry Gordy was noted as saying that Bobby Debarge was thee MOST TALENTED guy he'd ever worked with. The boy was BAD & that's NOT to take away from Eldra bcuz he is indeed 1 of my all time favorites, but Bobby was plain & simply just pure-t BAAAAADDDDDDD to the bone. If you love Eldra, you will definitely be able to appreciate & acknowledge the outstanding talent of his Big Bro & that phenomenal gifting he had in his throat. Please search: Switch, "There'll Never Be" & "I Call Your Name" & listen for the beauty in his pure, natural falsetto & how he switches in & out of his falsetto voice, back down into his natural tenor, in & out so effortlessly, so electric, so colorful, so powerful, yet seductive & romantic, he takes you & ur emotions on a full journey from beginning to end & I promise, you'll be so glad you gave it a try bcuz it'll become 2 of ur go-to CLASSIC BANGERS, from none other than the LATE, GREAT BOBBY DEBARGE, THEE BEST FALSETTO EVER RECORDED😉👍🏾!!!!

      The Debarge are a very beautiful family .El and Bobby were always my two favorites. Bobby, God rest his soul was a handsome, handsome young man. El is beautiful. But I have to say, the Jacksons is on that level too. Michael, Janet, La Toya , Rebie in particular. God rest Michael's soul , but those beautiful sad brown eyes and that beautiful smile he possessed was second to none. Janet has the same eyes and smile as her incredibly handsome older brother. All those brothers were handsome. Lol.

  • @regghenny
    @regghenny 5 ปีที่แล้ว +229

    This is the actual recording session, not of “All This Love”, but of the prerecorded backing vocals for their Mowtown 25 performance back in 1983. The next set of Jackson vocals is from their prerecorded backing vocals from their legendary performance. The lead singers of their respective groups, El and Michael actually sang live. That’s why when the Jacksons were performing “I’ll Be There“ and Jermaine starts to sing his solo his mic is off and he had to share the mic that Michael was holding. Classic night.
