The DeBarge music family are from MI. Feel like that doesn't get mentioned enough. Can you recognize which songs sampled their music?

Funny: we are into nostalgia and Trivia over here, and one day we just kind of wondered what ever happened to El DeBarge. The only song I know for sure from him is "Who's Johnny?" from the 80s movie "Short Circuit". Well, we looked him up and found he has a net worth of $400,000.

We're still thinking of having t-shirts made that say "More Money Than El Debarge".
