NPR Music's Tiny Desk series is celebrating Black History Month with performances from legends in R&B, jazz, gospel, and hip-hop. One such artist who recently graced the virtual stage for the first time is singer-songwriter and R&B icon El DeBarge. Known for his influential career with hits like "Time Will Reveal" and "Rhythm of the Night," El DeBarge delivered a nostalgic and intimate set of classics during his Tiny Desk (home) concert. His unique high tenor register and strong falsetto were on full display as he mesmerized viewers with songs like "Who's Johnny" and "Love Always."

The concert marked a significant moment in El DeBarge's comeback journey, which was kickstarted by a live performance on Instagram last year that garnered attention from fellow artists like Alicia Keys and Questlove. With guitarist Bennett Walker by his side, El DeBarge reaffirmed his status as an R&B royalty, showcasing his timeless talent and musical prowess. His collaborations with various artists and five Grammy Award nominations underscore his enduring impact on the music industry, making his Tiny Desk performance a fitting tribute to his illustrious career.
