That song was from the Punky Brewster episode when Henry grounds Punky from going to the DeBarge concert cuz she didn’t do her book report, then invite DeBarge to their home to teach Punky a lesson about reading and they perform the concert she missed. God bless you, Soleil Moon Frye and rest in power, George Gaynes
I still believe his first 2 albums were his best. I have both on cassette and vinyl. Neither were ever pressed to CD. It's a shame because both are pop soul classics if you ask me.
I bought this vinyl so many years ago because I couldn't find this song online at the time. Only the punky Brewster performance was up around that time. Glad someone put this song up. I love this song. I dunno why it came to mind just now.
This is nice. I'm only aware of Talk to Me from this album and nothing else. Found this tape at a mom and pop's store for a quarter and just had to have it. I love anything 80's so this is a pleasant surprise.
This song written by Chico and featuring the brothers DeBarge should have been featured in the movie Police Academy 2, instead of his “I like my Body.” It would have topped Talk to me as his most successful single. It reminds me of the best of George Michael during that era. Instead Chico promoted it on Punky Brewster with Debarge, but I always believe the opposite should have happened if Motown really wanted to make him a star.
[Verse 1] Now, I'm all alone Because you told me, that you’re unhappy I know it's wrong, my expectation of your intention I'll draw this line, and heard from no one who ever needs me I care so much, so please if you’ll excuse me I've got to see it one more time [Pre-Chorus] I care a lot, so I [Chorus] Pray to God, hope and pray Love just surely comes my way If it does, say to you I will step across that line Pray to God, hope and pray Love just surely comes my way If it does, say to you I will step across that line [Verse 2] Know that you can't stay So this time, I won't ask your dedication, no I'll stay behind this line, until love is kind And my friends, they say to me "face reality" Well, who's reality am I gonna face? Is it yours? No-oo-oh-oh-ah [Chorus] Pray to God, hope and pray Love just surely comes my way If it does, say to you I will step across that line Pray to God, hope and pray Love just surely comes my way If it does, say to you I will step across that line [Verse 3] Don't ask why I'm all alone, why my eyes are so red Why my hopes of love are dead If it’s good or if it’s bad, girl [Chorus] Pray to God, hope and pray Love just surely comes my way If it does, say to you I will step across that line Pray to God, hope and pray Love just surely comes my way If it does, say to you [Verse 4] You made a fool, out of me Again, 'cause I won’t ask for sacrifice If it comes, I'll be fine But 'til then, I'll stay behind this line The good things you say, the good things you do Make a fool of me, girl [Chorus] Pray to God, hope and pray Love just surely comes my way If it does, say to you Pray to God, hope and pray Love just surely comes my way If it does, say to you (I won’t cross that line) Pray to God, hope and pray Love just surely comes my way If it does, say to you (I only wanna be with you) Pray to God, hope and pray Love just surely comes my way If it does, say to you (I will step across that line).
I got this record in 86 when i was 13,and my dad threw me out of the house when he saw the picture of the gay man on the cover holding his hip like that. My dad was old fashoined and didn't do no man touchin', wouldn't shake a mans hand even.
I remember as a kid... seeing his album...and then I looked at El's solo debut album....I surely thought they were the same person but questioned why their name was different on the albums... I went as far as to look at the DeBarge "In A Special Way" album..trying to figure out which guy it was.......lol....... boy oh boy were they handsome....lol
Raeshelle Delvalle I’ll have to take a look but thanks :) I’ve been trying to look for “I’ve Been Watching You” studio version and it’s no where to be found. I’ve only found the dub version but it’s instrumental.
Raeshelle Delvalle I’ve been trying to find it but it’s all good. I’m wishing to get the physical copy of the CD one day. His first two albums isn’t on the streaming sites. I have the rest of his other albums lol.
TO ALL U GUYS ASKING FOR THIS SONG, U CAN EASILY USE DOWNLOAD THE UTUBE VIDEO TO MP3 DOWNLOAD APPLICATION JUST PUT IN MP3 DOWNLOAD IN THE SEARCH ENGINE AND INSTALL I THINK YOU CAN PUT IN UA-cam MP3 CONVERTER OR DOWNLOAD, U GUYS WILL FIGURE IT OUT, I DID IT WITH BOBBY DEBARGES SOLO ALBUM AND HAVE ALL HIS SOLO STUFF BURNED ON CD
Okay so I just recently started looking into the DeBarge’s family history, but I’m really confused bc they had so many different variations of their group so can someone explain to me the timeline? Ik Switch came out first but Chico wasn’t in Switch was he? When did “DeBarge” come out was that after Switch? And like Ik about Bobby and Bunny being abused and stuff but where does Chico fall into that like I’m confused lol
Ok Switch was 1st...then Debarge...Bobby wrote sung and produced for Debarge. They were all abused physically & and sexually by there dad. Which is why they all fight with drug abusr
@@Lecatherinemckinnon WRONG! Any baby after Marty (which was El, James, Chico and the twins) weren’t abused. James was their father’s favorite and Bobby (who got abused the most/worst) abused James in return. Which lead the drugs. El slipped into drugs once Bobby passed
1st: White Heat- A group that contained Bobby (founded by Barry White) 2: Switch- Group that contained Bobby and Tommy (some background vocals with El and Bunny) 3: Debarge- El, bunny, Randy, Marty, James. (Some background vocals with Bobby) 4: Bad Boyz- Grouo with Bobby, James, Randy, and Marty 5: Chico solo 6: Bobby solo album (can find it on UA-cam and it is a GOLDEN)❤ 😊

I think Chico has the deepest singing voice out of all of them. Does he?
Yes he does, and is so distinctive! ❤❤
@@XxBabyGurlLovexX , Bobby had a deep voice too when he wasn't singing falsetto.
@@slamecatzwell5544 yeah, so did El!

Rohan Padiyar same here
Same!
Rohan Padiyar Hehe. Me too. 😃😊👍🏻👏🏻👋🏻
Nice song them DeBarge's are one talented family!
Agree!!
FACT, TRUE THAT
I'm so attracted to the style of the 80's men! Maybe I'm stuck in time .....❤❤❤❤
This song goes hella hard, it could've been a hit.
Its amazing how he made that come back in the 90's usually a 80's artist have a hard time but his album was off the hook in the 90's
You mean “Long Time No See”?
Punky Brewster brought me here! 👍🏿
I still believe his first 2 albums were his best. I have both on cassette and vinyl. Neither were ever pressed to CD. It's a shame because both are pop soul classics if you ask me.
Allen Walters You should upload it, that's pretty cool.
I agree 100%, his 1st two were his best.
Another vote, still love his first two more than anything, those define real Chico Debarge.
Here cause of Punky Brewster too lol!
This was my ringtone in 8th grade and I'm only 20 lol
this song is actually hot, one of his best records
Who else remember when they sang this on Punky Brewster?

Got this on vinyl. Turned out the record was housed in the "Rhythm of the Night" album sleeve, when I bought it for a dollar at a Cash Converters.

You should definitely upload it
I love Chico
i love this song so much it’s not on streaming
I bought this vinyl so many years ago because I couldn't find this song online at the time. Only the punky Brewster performance was up around that time. Glad someone put this song up. I love this song. I dunno why it came to mind just now.
This dude has the smoothest voice ever
This is nice. I'm only aware of Talk to Me from this album and nothing else. Found this tape at a mom and pop's store for a quarter and just had to have it. I love anything 80's so this is a pleasant surprise.
Always loved this song esp the sax solo towards the end!

I really like this song. I am just discovering it. Where have I been? I am of this era.
2:15 "Don't AXE why"
Same I just said sum bout this

The DeBarge brothers signed to Striped Horse Records for their Bad Boys album.
I love Chico Debarge so fine😊❤
This is my new fav song. It's also my old fav song. :)
Damn I wish I was alive then
Omg faxx I had to be born 2002
You would be old now.!😁
Abscessed over him but his 80's look was super sexy
2:15 and forward is my fav part of the song
I love this song from Chico DeBarge
Chico still looks good its ashame drugs destroyed the family
Spotify is slacking not having this jam!
Love this song!
[Verse 1]
Now, I'm all alone
Because you told me, that you’re unhappy
I know it's wrong, my expectation of your intention
I'll draw this line, and heard from no one who ever needs me
I care so much, so please if you’ll excuse me
I've got to see it one more time
[Pre-Chorus]
I care a lot, so I
[Chorus]
Pray to God, hope and pray
Love just surely comes my way
If it does, say to you
I will step across that line
Pray to God, hope and pray
Love just surely comes my way
If it does, say to you
I will step across that line
[Verse 2]
Know that you can't stay
So this time, I won't ask your dedication, no
I'll stay behind this line, until love is kind
And my friends, they say to me "face reality"
Well, who's reality am I gonna face?
Is it yours? No-oo-oh-oh-ah
[Chorus]
Pray to God, hope and pray
Love just surely comes my way
If it does, say to you
I will step across that line
Pray to God, hope and pray
Love just surely comes my way
If it does, say to you
I will step across that line
[Verse 3]
Don't ask why I'm all alone, why my eyes are so red
Why my hopes of love are dead
If it’s good or if it’s bad, girl
[Chorus]
Pray to God, hope and pray
Love just surely comes my way
If it does, say to you
I will step across that line
Pray to God, hope and pray
Love just surely comes my way
If it does, say to you
[Verse 4]
You made a fool, out of me
Again, 'cause I won’t ask for sacrifice
If it comes, I'll be fine
But 'til then, I'll stay behind this line
The good things you say, the good things you do
Make a fool of me, girl
[Chorus]
Pray to God, hope and pray
Love just surely comes my way
If it does, say to you
Pray to God, hope and pray
Love just surely comes my way
If it does, say to you
(I won’t cross that line)
Pray to God, hope and pray
Love just surely comes my way
If it does, say to you (I only wanna be with you)
Pray to God, hope and pray
Love just surely comes my way
If it does, say to you (I will step across that line).
I got this record in 86 when i was 13,and my dad threw me out of the house when he saw the picture of the gay man on the cover holding his hip like that. My dad was old fashoined and didn't do no man touchin', wouldn't shake a mans hand even.
Heard this song on punky brewster and said damn this song is dope. Like if you are listening in 2020 and so on 😎
I remember as a kid... seeing his album...and then I looked at El's solo debut album....I surely thought they were the same person but questioned why their name was different on the albums...

Raeshelle Delvalle I’ll have to take a look but thanks :) I’ve been trying to look for “I’ve Been Watching You” studio version and it’s no where to be found. I’ve only found the dub version but it’s instrumental.
