Tyra Ferrell will star as Etterlene DeBarge, Blue Kimble portrays Tommy DeBarge and Adrian Marcel will star as James DeBarge. Big Boi from Outkast will be in the movie as well, playing the great Berry Gordy, and singer Lloyd will play Gregory Williams of the legendary Switch.
The story of Bobby DeBarge consists of him creating his own style of music, which helped influence an entire generation of artists. DeBarge also had some demons of his own trying to fight his drug addiction along with an addition to sex, which later caught up with him as he died of AIDS as a result.
TV One originally planned to do a biopic on the entire DeBarge family, releasing details in 2017 about the project. The project was eventually delayed and we now have The Bobby DeBarge Story.
On June 29th people will get to see the life story of Bobby DeBarge in full on TV One.
