“Bunny DeBarge – God Is Good For The Kept Ones”

featuring the song “God Is Good”[/vc_column_text][vc_message color=”alert-info” style=”3d”]I had the genuine honor of featuring a very special guest on the radio program, Bunny DeBarge.  She is a gifted songwriter, a glorious singer, and today, she adds author and speaker to the mix.  Her current book is a three volume series titled “The Kept Ones.”  You know her family name from the phenomenal success that she and her younger brothers experienced under the Motown machine during the front half of the 1980’s.   DeBarge was one of my favorite musical artists back then, both lyrically and melodically, and seemed so positive and joyful on stage.  But, behind the curtain was a life of sadness and turmoil, consistently paired with addiction.  If you ever watched the DeBarge’s Unsung documentary from 2008, then you are aware of the desolate underside of a seemingly happy family performing their music.  Bunny and I discuss this sensitive subject, but “in a special way” because she gives us hope and shows that she is moving on, especially because God is moving with her and has transformed her life!   She deserves a wider platform for her stories, so you get to hear Bunny for two episodes!  Please enjoy our conversation and her latest song, “God Is Good.”  You’ll hear just how great she still is today!![/vc_message][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text h1_css=”{.vc_customizer_1439316648576}” h2_css=”{.vc_customizer_1439316648577}” h3_css=”{.vc_customizer_1439316648578}” h4_css=”{.vc_customizer_1439316648579}” h5_css=”{.vc_customizer_1439316648579}” h6_css=”{.vc_customizer_1439316648580}” p_css=”{.vc_customizer_1439316648581}” link_css=”{.vc_customizer_1439316648581}” list_css=”{.vc_customizer_1439316648582}”]

Bunny’s book “The Kept Ones, Vol. 1” tells the definitive story of her family and the world that made them.  She pours her life into the pages, sharing the trials and tribulations of her journey with sensitivity and insight.

In the words of Bunny:

God has been faithful and so very good to me through it all. Many of you have followed me faithfully from my days touring with my brothers as “DeBarge.” Those were good times, and lots of wonderful music and memories came out of that era. Behind the scenes , there was personal pain that most knew little about. I speak very candidly about the inner turmoil that I hid behind a smile in my book ,”The Kept Ones!” I’m facing my demons one by one, and determination is taking over where fear and doubt would have stopped me in my tracks. I’m getting “high on life” now and it is such a wonderful thing.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” interval=”3″ onclick=”custom_link” custom_links_target=”_self” images=”12043,12051,12045,12044,12042,12046″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_video title=”Bunny DeBarge – The Kept Ones” link=”https://youtu.be/ImLJGyHVD6c”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][ivan_info_box ico_family=”fa fa-” position=”left” vertical=”no” align=” default-align” style=”circle” size=”64″ main_css=”{.vc_customizer_1439657727214}” icon_css=”{.vc_customizer_1439657727215}color:#dd3333;background-color:#1e73be;” title_css=”{.vc_customizer_1439657727215}” content_css=”{.vc_customizer_1439657727215}” ico=”music”]Please visit Bunny DeBarge’s website:
