I had the genuine honor of featuring a very special guest on the radio program, Bunny DeBarge. She is a gifted songwriter, a glorious singer, and today, she adds author and speaker to the mix. Her current book is a three volume series titled “The Kept Ones.” You know her family name from the phenomenal success that she and her younger brothers experienced under the Motown machine during the front half of the 1980’s. DeBarge was one of my favorite musical artists back then, both lyrically and melodically, and seemed so positive and joyful on stage. But, behind the curtain was a life of sadness and turmoil, consistently paired with addiction. If you ever watched the DeBarge’s Unsung documentary from 2008, then you are aware of the desolate underside of a seemingly happy family performing their music. Bunny and I discuss this sensitive subject, but “in a special way” because she gives us hope and shows that she is moving on, especially because God is moving with her and has transformed her life! She deserves a wider platform for her stories, so you get to hear Bunny for two episodes! Please enjoy our conversation and her latest song, “God Is Good.” You’ll hear just how great she still is today!!
