I was determined that if he didn't see me, he would hear me, so I then screamed aloud, "You're a beautiful man El!" lol there were chuckles around me, then El says in a soft sensual voice, "Thank you!" Wow. El sounds great! Still hitting every note spot on. I then noticed manager, Pete Farmer, come to the rescue pulling El back onto the stage as if he was saying, El what were you thinking of coming off stage into a mob of women by yourself! LOL It was exciting, and such a phenomenal experience. So El heads off the stage into my direction to dance eith more ladies and got a bit mobbed down there. Lol One young lady got up there and shook everything that wasn't nailed down, but what she had shaken, I'm not sure was in the right places. Those women were good sports, but they couldn't keep up wih El's dancing. He talks about making a grown man cry, I would have. If I had been any clser to that stage, I would've made it my business to dance with him. He would put some of the young artists to shame! I love how he interacted with his fans, especially the ladies He started pulling women on stage to dance eith him and I thought I'd die then. Omg! The El Debarge show was absolutely great! At 55 yrs of age, Eldra is moving and dancing like a 27yrs old man.
He then went on to perform at the 54th Grammy Awards ceremony in February 2012.
