1981 studio album by The DeBarges
The DeBarges is the debut album of DeBarge , released by Gordy Records on April 6, 1981. It saw limited success and stalled on the charts; the group felt it was not properly promoted.[ 4] As a result, they revisited The DeBarges by including two songs on their subsequent recordings: "Queen of My Heart" was included on their third album, In a Special Way ,[ 5] while "Share My World" would be included on their fourth, Rhythm of the Night .
