    Years ago I read an article in a magazine in which the interviewer asked if there were other's at home with musical aspirations. Bobby replied that he had a little brother at home in Grand Rapids that could do everything that he can do vocally, and even some things even he couldn't do. He apparently was talking about Eldra. :)

      @@eldradebarge7002 I wish I had it but time has passed and I never saved it. I actually saw someone else on a Prince blog prince.org/msg/8/283512 also mention it when comparing Bobby & El's voices. I know it was from one of the many magazines that I used to purchase like Black Beat, Right-On etc. at a news stand in NYC in the middle to late 70's. :). I was a young lad then. :)
      It came back to me when I actually read the Kept one's (volume 2) when Bunny said the same thing pretty much on page 125 when she talked about the adlibs, and on page 70 when she said that El had a gift just as prolific as Bobby's and that El was hesitant at times to embrace it because he didn't want to be compared or considered equal to his big bro.
      Also on page 71 when Bunny said that Bobby respected his little brother as much as his little brother respects him. Also on page 95 when Bunny said that although El's voice was not as strong as Bobby's because of a pinched nerve, but he was still able to reach every note that Bobby did but it took more effort. Greg Williams book also mentioned that El was just as prolific as Bunny and Bobby vocally. :)
      When my friends do comparison's whether sports, music etc, I tell them when it comes to family people shouldn't be surprised at members sound alike because they are indeed family. :) The biggest difference that I've always noticed as someone who has an eclectic taste in music is that most of the people who I would play a Debarge or El Debarge song who don't know who he is and are listening to it for the first time, or who've heard it before and didn't know who the artist is; think it's a woman singing. :) That in itself is mentioned as a compliment because it's a gift from Yahweh.
      Where is with Bobby he sing's with a beautiful tenor and has an awesome falsetto range, but you know it's a man singing. This to me is what Bobby was referring to when he said that there are some things that he couldn't do that El can do vocally. El doesn't have to use the falsetto in the higher register as much because of his natural counter tenor, and uses the falsetto as an extra gear just because he doesn't have to. :) As a fan I want El, like Babyface wanted when he helped produce Heart Mind & Soul to showcase that higher register because it reminds us of Bobby and El and what they can do that not many other's can touch. :)
      Personally I believe that El has always had Bobby's spirit in him musically and people shouldn't compare because they're both incredible and happen to be in the same family like (the basketball Curry's, Jackson's, Winan's, BGee's musically etc.) As El said recently in the QuestLove Supreme podcast interview on June 9thpodcasts.apple.com/za/podcast/questlove-supreme/id1485250501 he is proud to be part of Bobby's blood line, and evidently so was Bobby. :)

      God instructed El's mom to anoint him with oil when he was 7, telling her he was to sing and play. Then she got Bobby out of bed to teach him his first song, Mary Had A Little Lamb.

My father could not tell me who is singing this, we thought all the years it is a girl .... this song is never played in German radio, unfortunately.
