Do you remember the first top 40 pop chart hit for DeBarge called "I Like It" in 1983. It was covered by Jomanda 10 years later.

They have sooo many gems in their discography it's not even funny. Their music was truly amazing.

It's too bad they didn't hold onto the copyrights to their catalog. They wrote almost all of their material, and though most of their well known songs weren't big hits at the time, their singles and album tracks have been sampled and remade by many artists throughout the years. They would be filthy rich had they held onto them. I'm not sure if they just had a bad contract with MoTown (they did), or if they signed them over to MoTown...either way its a damn shame. Their catalog is pretty deep and very well known and loved.

This and 'Stay With Me' are classics for how much they've been sampled alone.

My second favorite Debarge song of all-time. Many an artist has sampled this song, but the original remains the best "version" of this song. My favorite part is the "breakdown" .
I like it
I like it
I really really like it
I'm for it, adore it
So come let me enjoy it
Did you love this song?

I like it, indeed. This is one of several DeBarge hits that I hear on R&B/Urban stations that include a lot of recurrents. (Pop "classic hits" stations not so much; there it's "Rhythm of the Night", and done.)

Randy sounds amazing on those verses. Wish people still made timeless music like this.
Girl, let me run this by you... just one more time you're on my mind every day and every night my every thought is you.
