I was watching Dr. Drew television show Life Changer” and today The DeBarge Family was on talking about their drug addiction. The family was a big hit which includes “In The Rhythm Of The Night.”
Today Bunny, James, and Randy reached out to Dr. Drew for help. Bunny’s daughter was tearful when she spoke about her mother, however, Bunny was close to her family but not close to her own daughters.
James DeBarge was married to mega-star Janet Jackson, DeBarge spoke highly of Jackson and how sweet she was to him. DeBarge credit the late King Of Pop Michael Jackson for saving his life.
DeBarge admit to being homeless at one point in his life and desperately wanted help. Dr. Drew arranged help for the 3 family members, according to the update James DeBarge walked out of the West Hollywood, California residential facility only after a few hours.
In the past, El DeBarge and Chico admitted to having problems, they both seemed to have gotten themselves together. El DeBarge put out a new album, he sounds great and looks good. The family started out under Motown Records.
I wish the DeBarge Family lots of love, they are so talented, it would be so nice to see them healthy and back in the studio. The family made the most important step and that’s being aware there is a problem and seeking help. I am so proud of them and I can’t wait to see The DeBarge Family with a major come back album. I Just love and respect them.

No! It’s not an Earthquake shaking Detroit, Michigan It’s Kid Rock getting ready to perform at Comerica Park August 12. Before he performs in Michigan, his tour begins July 2 in Cincinnati, Ohio. Kid was presented a NAACP Award from Mayor Dave Bing for his generous charity donations in Detroit. Kid has a bi-racial son, his son’s mother is black.
Rock said “I should probably go away for a while,” he said. “Sometimes you feel a little
overexposed. People are getting sick of me.” I say “Don’t he darn go away, he is doing so much for the City of Detroit, helping to bring business which creates jobs.” I was watching a special on TV showing how some Detroit residents are having a hard time feeding their children, no close grocery stores, lost homes, no jobs and the list goes on. The city of Detroit need Kid Rock’s kind heart.
Other celebrities from Michigan should join Rock to help the City, he is a one man show. A lot of Stars has emerged from Detroit and has forgotten where they came from. The City of Detroit and The Late Beautiful Florence Ballard of The Supremes 3 Daughters have been abandoned. Thanks To Kid Rock For Giving Detroit So Much Of His Money, Time and Love
SAN FRANCISCO – It was 40 years ago when The Late Great Marvin Gaye released a song that still applies today with still no answer “What’s Going On?” This album was created after the death of his duet partner The Beautiful Late Great Tammi Terrell. May they both Rest In Peace. It’s one of the most important song in music history.
Please click and enjoy 9 mins and 6 secs. of Marvin Gaye singing “What’s Going On” The lyrics are below.
Mother, mother
There’s too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother
There’s far too many of you dying
You know we’ve got to find a way
To bring some lovin’ here today – Ya
Father, father
We don’t need to escalate
You see, war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we’ve got to find a way
To bring some lovin’ here today
Picket lines and picket signs
Don’t punish me with brutality
Talk to me, so you can see
Oh, what’s going on
What’s going on
Ya, what’s going on
Ah, what’s going on
In the mean time
Right on, baby
Right on
Right on
Father, father, everybody thinks we’re wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us
Simply because our hair is long
Oh, you know we’ve got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today
Oh
Picket lines and picket signs
Don’t punish me with brutality
Talk to me
So you can see
What’s going on
Ya, what’s going on
Tell me what’s going on
I’ll tell you what’s going on – Uh
Right on baby
Right on baby
