Jeff Lorez has a heart to heart with the singer/writer who reveals the inner turmoil and pain he’s now exorcised with the release of his new album.
“I’ve lived in LA for most of my career” explained El Debarge when I spoke to the slender, youthful-faced singer at Warner Bros Records’ New York offices. Seeing El, it was hard to believe that “most of his career” meant fourteen years, beginning of course, with his most fruitful period in the early ‘80’s on Motown Records, as the lead singer of family group DeBarge. “In between I’ve lived in Houston and I moved back to Grand Rapids in Michigan but I never stayed there for more than six months. I always moved back to LA”.
“What made you go back?” I ventured.
“I was tryin’ to find myself. It was all part of El tryin’ to find El. I learned from all the movin’ that I’m still tryin’ to find myself. I ain’t gotten there yet! (laughs).
Overview: There'll Never Be, A Story of Forgiveness, is the moving autobiography of Thomas DeBarge - songwriter, singer, and eldest brother of the music industry's DeBarge family. Thomas "Tommy" DeBarge once saw the sky as the limit. As part of Motown's hot funk and soul band era, Thomas felt life would be good for him there on out. A prideful turning away from God's principles changed his dreams into a nightmare. Poverty and addiction were in the pot at the end of his rainbow. Now, Thomas is a man recovering from the decisions he made. He learned, through the process of people entering and exiting his heart at various stages of growth, that the road of sobriety was one he had to walk alone; just him and God. (Release date 2/28/12)
