Songoftheday 5/7/13 - What can I do to make you feel secure, remove all your doubts...


DeBarge - "Time Will Reveal"
from the album In A Special Way (1983)
Billboard Hot 100 peak: #18 (one week)
Weeks in the Top-40: 11

Today's Song of the Day is by Motown family vocal group DeBarge, who made a big splash in 1983 with their second album All This Love, which gave them two top-40 pop hits with "I Like It" and the title track. The came even stronger with their next (and in my opinion best) album, In A Special Way, which is front to back amazing. The first single from the record was the ultra-smooth "Time Will Reveal", written by brother El and sister Bunny...


"Time Will Reveal" became the group's first #1 R&B hit, while reaching the top-20 on both the pop and adult contemporary chart.

...and here's the DeBarges on Soul Train...


In 1996, new jack swing kings Blackstreet interpolated the song for "The Lord Is Real"...


Boyz II Men covered it faithfully for their Throwback album...


neo-funk queen Jonelle Monae also took on the track in 2005...


Lastly, one of my faves, Mayer Hawthorne, has his own take on "Time Will Reveal" (starts 3 1/2 minutes in)...


Up tomorrow: paws you can't see...
