In a Special Way

In a Special Way is the third studio album by DeBarge, released by Gordy Records on September 24, 1983. Written and produced by El DeBarge with additional writing by Mark, James and Bunny DeBarge. The album reached gold after the releases of the following singles "Time Will Reveal" and "Love Me in a Special Way" (which features fellow Motown artist Stevie Wonder on harmonica), which hit number one on the Billboard R&B and adult contemporary singles chart respectively. The album is most memorable for not only its singles but album tracks such as "Stay with Me" and "A Dream" - largely due to subsequent sampling in modern hip-hop and R&B tracks. The album has been regarded by some critics as a "classic" in the family group's catalog.
