[edit] Overview
[edit] Recording
By 1983, DeBarge was riding off the crossover success of their second album, All This Love, which included hits including the "title track" and "I Like It". Boosted by its success, the group recorded a similar album with In a Special Way. Among the singles chosen for a single included the crossover hit, "Time Will Reveal", which was written by Bunny DeBarge and her younger brother El DeBarge, who sung lead on the song again in his trademark falsetto.
[edit] Reception
Much like their two previous singles, DeBarge found a hit with "Time Will Reveal", which reached number 1 on the Billboard R&B singles chart and number 18 on the US pop singles chart. The success of this record and the preceding singles helped the group attain an opening slot for Luther Vandross' US tour of 1984, in which by then DeBarge had become a national attraction, with its early success being compared to the earlier Motown family act, The Jackson 5.
