"SMASH - The Roots of Switch and DeBarge"

About Me

***** The SMASH video is for our music title FUNK FREAK and the cd SMASH - The Roots of Switch and DeBarge Check it out, as well as on YouTube tags: Smash, DeBarge, Switch, Bernd***** February 20, 2007 - Thank you, Jorge Aznar and the NYFA. I received the final edit on 'Taste Of Your Love' Bobby DeBarge (RIP) music film video. What a deep story: Soldier from Iraq in jail with mental anguish because of the memories of the war, his wife at home and the power of love. The power of love wins at the end. - This song is just Bobby's solo vocal and his piano play. He completed this song before he pasted in 1995, incl. in his last album 'It's Not Over' and will be part of our new compilation for Bobby DeBarge to establish his legacy and his gift to the world of music. The time is now and it is important to me to archieve this goal.*****SPECIAL: JAMES BROWN TRIBUTE - Check out the live music above, incl. my buddies in Hamburg - SUPERBAD - they know how to Funk - check out their site in my links at burndsman.com*****I was Born in Hamburg/Germany, I got involved in the music business in 1970, specialty R&B, Funk, Soul and Jazz. This is about my involvment in starting Motown artists Switch and DeBarge, 1976 and 1979, respectively. In addition, I have started, together with Ed Wright, Chico DeBarge on Motown in the mid 80s and managed the late Bobby DeBarge to the end of his life.
