Personnel: Bobby DeBarge (vocals, keyboards, drums, background vocals); Phillip Ingram (vocals, keyboards, percussion, background vocals); David Podis, Ronnie Vann, Michael McGloiry (guitar); Gregory Williams (trumpet, keyboards, background vocals); Eddie Fluellen (trombone, keyboards, background vocals); Jody Sims (drums, percussion, background vocals); Tommy DeBarge (background vocals). Audio Mixers: Russ Terrana; Bewley Brothers. Photographer: Barry Levine. The successful debut album from the self-contained sextet introduced the R&B community to an exciting, soulful sound. This album consisted of quality uptempo and midtempo tunes. Their first release, "There'll Never Be," graced the Billboard R&B charts for 26 weeks, peaking at number six. The moderately paced single features creative background vocals, inviting horn arrangements, and the high-pitched falsetto of Bobby DeBarge, who also co-wrote the track with the Bewley Brothers. As mellow as the aforementioned single is, the follow-up "I Wanna Be Closer" is even more comforting. Written, arranged and produced by Jermaine Jackson, the single peaked at number 22 after 13 weeks. Featuring three-part harmonies and a soulful introduction, it also showcased the articulate lead vocals of Phillip Ingram (baritone) and Bobby DeBarge. This is a good collection. ~ Craig Lytle
