Bunny DeBarge


Etterlene "Bunny" DeBarge (born March 15, 1955) best know as the female sibling of the family group DeBarge. Bunny the lead vocalist behind the classic R&B ballad, "A Dream" from the group's In a Special Way album and is also the co-writer of the group's 1982 breakthrough hit, "I Like It" and the number-one hit, "Time Will Reveal". She went on to write along side her brother Bobby, creating songs such as "Hold On to My Love" (recorded by High Inergy) and "Love Over and Over Again," (which was a Top 10 R&B hit for Switch).

Trying to escape hurt she experienced in her child hood, Bunny experimented with drugs early in life. "I was fifteen years old when I started using drugs...I had many things I needed to deal with: how it felt growing up being a mixed child and the mental and physical abuse we bore from a family member...I need to go back to that age and find myself emotionally and grow up."(Source). Bunny eventually departed from DeBarge in 1986, and released her first and only solo album, In Love, which included the single, "Save the Best for Me (Best of Your Lovin')".

Despite this success, she was abruptly dropped from her contract soon after. Bunny went on to retire from music to focus on her family and reclaiming her life from the hands for addiction. In 2008 Bunny released an autobiography called "The Kept Ones" about her life and music career with DeBarge. Today, Bunny is continuing her journey of healing and the best is yet to come.
