Later, after his family moved to Grand Rapids, he and the rest of his family began performing at Bethel Pentecostal church, where his uncle William Charles Abney, Jr. was pastor. His father Robert was reportedly physically and sexually abusive towards his children, leading to his and Etterlene’s divorce in 1974.

In 1980, Motown signed DeBarge and his brothers, Randy and El and sister Bunny, as DeBarge. The group released their debut album, The DeBarges on April 6, 1981.

In 1982, the group’s second release, All This Love, featured the group’s hits “I Like It” and “All This Love”, which constantly featured Mark’s, vocals, and flugelhorn playing. Throughout the 1980s, DeBarge rose to international fame with singles such as “Love Me in a Special Way”, “Time Will Reveal”, “Rhythm of the Night” and “Who’s Holding Donna Now”. Mark remained in the group when brother El and sister Bunny left the group in 1986 and the following year, DeBarge released the album, Bad Boys on the Striped Horse label. DeBarge formally split up in 1989 after the convictions of brothers Bobby and Chico.
