Chicos voice IS amazing.Proof IS he completely changed músic genre in the 90s and Smash It as well.the BEaT IS catchy but its Chico soulful voice that takes It to another level
It saddens me that they just don't Make quality music like this anymore. With a very few exceptions, today's music is crap. Long live the 80s and early 90s!
Oh wow do you know i been lookin for this song since i was a kid in the late 80s i never knew who sang this song for 35 years And i would never guessed it was Chico Debarge lol🤗🤗🤗
In addition to Janet Jackson, this Chico DeBarge song also reminds me of 80s Jody Watley. Also, it reminds me of Meli'sa Morgan music from the 80s. It also sounds like Jane Child's song "Don't Wanna Fall In Love". LOL. I miss music like that.
It actually sounds nothing like any of those... just a similar rhythm pattern, which by no means makes any one song sound like another. The melodies, vocals, instrumentation, production... none of it is similar to this song whatsoever! And "Don't Wanna Fall in Love?" Sounds NOTHING like this. At all.
You can best believe he dang sure did have this look when got sent to the joint back in the day!!! But anyway, I bought this cassette when I was in basic training in 1987 wow...I picked this joint up at the Sand Hill PX shopette.
This Chico DeBarge 1986 Hit, "Talk To Me," Did Played From 0:05 To 2:10, During The Soul Train Scramble Board Segment, During The 519th Edition Of "Soul Train" On November 15, 1986, When 2 Soul Train Dancers Had 60 Seconds To Identified That Entertainment Actress, And It Was Shari Belafonte.
I mean, who gives a shit if this sounds like Janet’s? The songs were also released the same year. This song was the JAM, and would have got me to the dancefloor twice a fast as what have you done for me lately. This song STILL gets me GOING. Don’t tell me you don’t roll those windows down, and turn this shit UP when you’re driving on a summer day. It’s the quintessential pop song!!!
@xeternity4evax Yes. Every man in the '80s dressed like this. :/ Yes. I'm being sarcastic. Truthfully, I don't recall anyone giving a damn what anyone looked like back then. If the music was good, that was all that mattered. Chico could've looked like one of the guys from ZZ Top and no one would've cared and this song still would've been a hit. On the other hand, most artists back then were pressured to project a certain image regardless of their personal tastes. continued......
@@islandbee "Talk To Me," by Chico was right at the beginning of Punky Brewster, Season 3, Episode 1, "Reading, Writing, and Rock & Roll," for only 20 seconds or so. Also in that episode was Chico DeBarge, "Cross that Line," DeBarge, "Dance All Night," and "You're A Big Boy."
Essential childhood memories.Chico should have been a Superstar. His look in the episodio and Cting was fire and the performance at the end@@travistaylor5000
@BaltimoreColt ........it was the golden age of MTV and you rarely saw guys in jeans and a t-shirt with no make-up. Unless it was a John Cougar Mellencamp video or something.
In This Future, This Song Would Be Playing On Sirius XM's The 80's On 8, WPLJ-FM's 95.5, WCBS-FM's 101.1, WRKS-FM's 98.7 Kiss-FM, WKTU-FM's 103.5, WEZN-FM's Star 99.9, WALK-FM's WALK 97.5, WBLS-FM's 107.5, WEBE-FM's WEBE 108, WFAS-FM's 103.9, WFAF-FM's 106.3, WBPM-FM's Classic Hits 92.9, WTIC-FM's 96.5, WHUD-FM's 100.7, WLTW-FM's New York's 106.7 Lite-FM, And More...
THE DEBARGE FAMILY IS VERY GREAT TALENT, EL DEBARGE AND CHICO DEBARGE IS VERY FANTASTIC, THE FUNKY MUSIC IS VERY TERRIFIC, THE SONG OF TODAY AS BORING AND STUPID
80's man, all u have to do is look at Prince, George Michaels, MJ, do I need to go on?Chico was young and just copied those guys until he found his own shaved head, bad boy look from being in prison!!
A tuslly he CAME out of prison with his 80s curls and kedar mgmt was the one saying you have your head now!!!! They knew what they was doing.chico had been out of fashion for Many years they had to update him on what was Hot at the moment
Damn babe...I was young when this song came out...now I see the video for this song...and, DAMN, what you do to an old lady in her heart attack years!!! I know you look nothing like that now...guess you've shaved your head by now...let it grow back...and do it again!!!
My mom introduced me to all this good music... I love her for that. When I first saw him and El I thought they were purtorican...especially him with the name Chico. Turns out they're Black and French. Cool mix. They are both handsome. Btw does anyone know where I can find the actual video; I've looked everywhere and can't find it.
Doesnt work like that.bavk then artist didnt have control.they send you to a photographer and stylist and try different ideas of outfit.and the photographer ask you to do 10000 poses.you just folow directions.then you leave.and the ultimate decisión Sure was motowns.women liked androginius men back then and I Guess chico trusted B.gordys decisión or whoever at the label.Ive been a model and you dont have control over the final edit.you dont see until its printed already and u do all kind of crazy poses in a shoot
This is so 80's....
Awesome song 1987 l was in 8th grade when this song was a hit. I still ♥️ it. They dont play songs like that anymore.
I remember this song peaking at #21 on the US Billboard Hot 100 in early 1987.
Great beat.
I Love This Chico DeBarge 1986 Hit, "Talk To Me," Which Became A Top 10 R&B Hit In America.
haters are gonna hate. This is class music. 80's at its finest. Great song.....better than any of the crap of this era.
yeah like a cheese grater......neva smoove!
The 80s was a black hole
Absolute KILLER beat!!!!
Catchy number this.... Some 34 years later and it still holds its own.
Chicos voice IS amazing.Proof IS he completely changed músic genre in the 90s and Smash It as well.the BEaT IS catchy but its Chico soulful voice that takes It to another level
It saddens me that they just don't Make quality music like this anymore. With a very few exceptions, today's music is crap. Long live the 80s and early 90s!
I know right classic times and music
Vicki P. o
Agree. Miss the 80s funk jams, freestyle and new jack swing. All went pear shaped after mid 90s :(
This song is essential 80's .....
perfect mix with Janet's "What have You done for me lately"
it really does sound like Janet
mixed it with Janet when it came out!
D.J. John Hulsey something about you by vesta sounds more like Janet
Coincidence? No not really..
Sounds like Jam and Lewis had a hand in it, but they had nothing to do with this song.
I miss 1986.
I bet
I was 7 without a care in the world lol
I was just 4 in '86 and turning 37 next week but love 80s and 90s music. I think I stopped listening to artists by my late teens in the late 90s 🤣
I saw heard this song on a clip of Dance party USA and it reminded me that I loved this song. But he’s a DeBarge how could you not
Oh wow do you know i been lookin for this song since i was a kid in the late 80s i never knew who sang this song for 35 years And i would never guessed it was Chico Debarge lol🤗🤗🤗
Chico DeBarge sang a song to what I think is a story of pre-teen, junior high love connection. Talk to me, you fool!
Same jam as “ What Have You Done For Me Lately? “
Purely Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis influences in this song.
still luv this immortal song from a great great singer
I remember having this poster on my bedroom wall when I was 15. I had a huge crush!
Those where they days
Great dance song. Sounds a lot like Janet Jackson's "What Have You Done for Me Lately."
This was the cut in club back in the day
this was my wakeup song when living in the Chi...i was in H.S.
In addition to Janet Jackson, this Chico DeBarge song also reminds me of 80s Jody Watley. Also, it reminds me of Meli'sa Morgan music from the 80s. It also sounds like Jane Child's song "Don't Wanna Fall In Love". LOL. I miss music like that.

Kind of sound like Janet Jackson's "What Have You Done For Me Lately"?
Yes
This never occurred to me . wow.

First thing I thought even the breaks
That's what Janet sampled I bet!
I loved this album!!! 🖤🌻.
Jonathan hit #21 in Billboard, 2-21-87. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx! Have a great week!
J'ai toujours cet album Vinyle 33 tours
If you ever met an Indian person from
Guyana or Trinidad chico debarge is their god
You should tell chico..maybe he can book a show there
That guitar is HOT!!!
He could never get away with that hair do and pose now days lol
So true! Is he still incarcerated?
Coney Island Boo nah where you been ? Lol. He got out in the late 90’s
Pose brought me here.
This song brings back so many great teenage memories to me! ✨🎶🤩👌🏾
this is still my song . I love it ...........
Maricelli Lewis yaaaas!
Everything. Love that part.
rocking that half shirt
Love this song. I had been searching for this for a long time.
The baseline is like: “I can’t go for that, nooo, no can do.”
Didn't even know this was done by a Debarge. I tell you, them damn Debarges, so gorgeous and gifted.
Debbie C- check out their song "The Walls" No one believes it's DeBarge
I love you Chico, I dont care how you wore your hair in the 80's ;) MUAH!!!
I like the song. I remember it... But the cover...i just can't😂
Just been listening to this from my '86-ish TDK D90 recorded from Radio 1's Robbie Vincent show!!
Fine back then too. All the DeBarges have talent in their blood every lady one and the grand kids too
A very talented family. Wish they were still making music
Back to 80s, fresh music
I mean, who gives a shit if this sounds like Janet’s? The songs were also released the same year. This song was the JAM, and would have got me to the dancefloor twice a fast as what have you done for me lately. This song STILL gets me GOING. Don’t tell me you don’t roll those windows down, and turn this shit UP when you’re driving on a summer day. It’s the quintessential pop song!!!
And Janet's was released almost one year before this one.
@xeternity4evax Yes. Every man in the '80s dressed like this. :/ Yes. I'm being sarcastic. Truthfully, I don't recall anyone giving a damn what anyone looked like back then.

PUNKY BREWSTER BROUGHT ME HERE
Really? Was this on one of the episodes? Loved that show. 80s had some awesome family TV back then.

Wasn't El DeBarge on "The Facts of Life"
Essential childhood memories.Chico should have been a Superstar. His look in the episodio and Cting was fire and the performance at the end@@travistaylor5000
When listening to this i m felling like in 1985
Back to the future!!
@BaltimoreColt ........it was the golden age of MTV and you rarely saw guys in jeans and a t-shirt with no make-up. Unless it was a John Cougar Mellencamp video or something.
What have you done for me lately Janet Jackson. This was the same time Chico was married to Janet Jackson
Damn! I need to put on a
'Beverley Hills Cop' film straight after playing this.
Then order a deliveroo Chinese. No! A quick dash to the Chinese.
Kiss serious and the album was also great.

Sounds like a remix of "What have you done for me lately"
1986 i was 4 ys old damn am get there
80's man, all u have to do is look at Prince, George Michaels, MJ, do I need to go on?Chico was young and just copied those guys until he found his own shaved head, bad boy look from being in prison!!
A tuslly he CAME out of prison with his 80s curls and kedar mgmt was the one saying you have your head now!!!! They knew what they was doing.chico had been out of fashion for Many years they had to update him on what was Hot at the moment

Turns out they're Black and French. Cool mix. They are both handsome. Btw does anyone know where I can find the actual video; I've looked everywhere and can't find it.
grandfather was
Yes everyone thought they were Puerto Rican. You should read Bunny DeBarge's autobiography. It's eye opening.
Janet Jackson's 'what have you done for me lately '
I like chico but that but they should never let him pose for that cover like that .And he probably said same after he look back at.
Lmao
True that!
Doesnt work like that.bavk then artist didnt have control.they send you to a photographer and stylist and try different ideas of outfit.and the photographer ask you to do 10000 poses.you just folow directions.then you leave.and the ultimate decisión Sure was motowns.women liked androginius men back then and I Guess chico trusted B.gordys decisión or whoever at the label.Ive been a model and you dont have control over the final edit.you dont see until its printed already and u do all kind of crazy poses in a shoot
@brown547 damnnnnn thas when i was born lol
@Sharonda242 yes it is
"The Right Stuff" by NKOTB sounds like this song, a little.
great mix u enhance?
I thought Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis were behind this song but they had nothing to do with it.
@sexytrannienj chico' pretty boy days! but he sang tough!
what have you done for me lately?
Wow, never realized how "gay" that album cover was lol!But the song was def funky! they just don't make em like this anymore!
That's just the cover for the single. Not the album.
@sexytrannienj i know right
