Some '80s icons will never be forgotten. And then there are others, like singer El DeBarge, who need to remind people that they're still around every once in a while. The R&B crooner's surprise appearance at the BET Awards on Sunday sparked off a slew of Web searches for his family, greatest hits, and upcoming album.
He didn't take home any awards, but it could be easily argued that El was the biggest winner of the night. The flame of interest was sparked when Ciara introduced DeBarge as a true artist who continues to create and reinvent. The singer blew through a medley of some of his greatest hits. "All This Love," "Time Will Reveal," and, of course "Rhythm Of The Night" were all performed in his signature falsetto voice.
Almost immediately, Web lookups on "El DeBarge" jumped from nearly nada into Yahoo's top 1,000 overall searches, with a staggering 10,529% surge. There was also a tremendous surge in "El DeBarge new album." The record, which was alluded to at the awards show, will be titled "Second Chance" (DeBarge performed the title track, a ballad).
