Oldies But Goodies? Joe Thomas and Chico Debarge Keep On Keepin On
Posted on May 19, 2009 12:00 PM
Kudos to Kedar Massenburg for resurrecting the careers of Ginuwine, Joe Thomas and Chico Debarge -- all great voices of the late '90's and early 00's.
In case you somehow forgot Joe -- who is going by his full name these days -- he was the original boyfriend hater before The-Dream came along ("All The Things Your Man Won't Do" anybody?). He independently released Joe Thomas, New Man last fall with the help of longtime manager and executive producer Massenburg, and is currently gearing up to drop his nex album Signature on July 14th. Check out some of the shots from behind the scenes of Joe?s newest video ?Majic? below:

"Majic" is the lead single from Signature. The video was directed by Parris (who most recently directed The Dream?s, ?Rockin That Thang Remix? video). You can hear the single below:
Visit http://www.kedar.com/joe for Joe's performance dates for his 20 city Road to Essence / House of Blues tour with label-mate Chico Debarge. Yep, you read that right. Chico Debarge. As much as I like Joe's new single, I have no problem admitting that I'm most excited about the return of Chico Debarge. Check out the teaser for his new album:
Chico Debarge?s Addiction led by the single ?Oh No!? also lands in stores July 14th! You can hear his single at http://www.kedar.com/chico/. For old time sake's I've also gotta post some old Chico
Will you support Chico and Joe? Talk to me y'all!

This is a very hot ticket. Joe is silky smooth and Chico is slightly ruff, but I think women like both types of men and the boys can respect that as well. It is great to see these two soul crooners stick together over the years and I look forward to supporting their albums and tours. I am so impressed with Chico because he has been hanging in the game for nearly 25 years and his family dynasty just continues on and on, especially with Kristiana DeBarge's conquest of the pop charts resently. TIME HAS AREADY REVEALED, the DeBarges have staying power and remain one of the greatest musical dynasties in history. Love Always to them.
Of course I will support Joe and Chico. I love Chico. His music is so relaxing. I have been waiting for Chico to come out with another album for so long.
I'll be instores to pick up CDs from both artists on July 14th!
Thank you both for sharing your music.
