Video: The Secret Garden Chapter

In 1991, Listen Up!, a documentary on the life of Quincy Jones was released. One part of the documentary,"The Secret Garden Chapter", focuses on Quincy's struggle between his career and 3 marriages, while also sharing some behind the scenes studio footage from the making of "The Secret Garden" to help tell the story. El DeBarge played a significant roll in the creation of this song,he spent two days in Quincy's home studio writing his own verse as well as Barry White's, and lending his vocals to lead vocals and background. It is said that El only did one take of his verse in the studio, Quincy felt it was perfect and used it on the final track. "The Secret Garden" spent 17 weeks on the R&B/Hip-Hop charts and peaked at #1 in March, 1990.
