"Time Will Reveal" is a 1983 hit single recorded by R&B family quintet DeBarge and released as the first single off the group's third album, "In a Special Way", it was also the group's biggest hit prior to the group's 1985 hit, "Rhythm of the Night" and also became one of the most covered R&B singles.

Overview

Recording

By 1983, DeBarge was riding off the crossover success of their second album, "All This Love", which included the "title track" and "I Like It". Boosted by its success, the group recorded a similar album with "In a Special Way". Among the songs chosen for a single was 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.

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.

Revivals and remakes

There are many artists who repopularized the song such as boyz II men, Jed madela, Freestyle and acoustic band push play. The song became popular in some music bars and became one of the most requested love songs in some radio stations in the United States, Europe and Asia Pacific.
