The front man of musical family DeBarge, El exemplified the sound of R&B pop during the group's ‘80s heyday. His high, silky smooth voice made him the star of the group, but he eventually split for a solo career, landing his biggest hit, before drug addiction derailed him for many years. El reemerged in 2010 with Second Chance, an album that landed him a GRAMMY® nomination and put him back on track.
