The Comeback Kid: Sound-Savvy Faces 'Addiction' with Chico DeBarge
Chico DeBarge knows a thing or two about making a comeback. Following a prison sentence for drug trafficking in the mid-90's, Chico re-emerged on to the music scene in 1997 with the classic soul album Long Time No See. His new album Addiction thrusts DeBarge back onto center stage after a 6-year hiatus that included battles with substance abuse, troubled relationships, and an incident that nearly claimed his life. The album is an open book of pain, victory and determination - a realization that you're never too fargone to make a comeback. I had the opportunity to speak with Chico DeBarge about the new album and the events that brought him to where he now stands, on the threshold of a comeback.
