Question

[yendi]

So, Shadesong is enjoying her new eMac and burning MP3s and listening to 80s radio on iTunes (and cracking her back while gyrating). And "Rhythm of the Night" came on. Which got me wondering.

If he insisted on calling himself "El Debarge," shouldn't the second word have been pronounced "de-bar-je?"

(and yes, I know that at the time of that song, the name was just "Debarge," but I'm still curious)

My understanding is that that's his actual name. Do I have backup on this?

That's what I grew up believing . . . it's his actual name. Unless someone would like to enlighten me otherwise.
