Bobby Debarge’s falsetto is legendary.

[@jonesaundre3]

Phillip Ingram was extremely underrated and has Tremendous vocals.

[@bgatson5655]

And many don't know that he is the brother of the late James Ingram.

[@rwwdzzm5608]

True

[@Wolverine-fd4qc]

Yeah Phillip was a beast. His voice just complimented Bobby’s so well.

[@bobbie143bc]

[@ladylovesteqilla4398]

The 70s and 80s were hands down the best time to be alive musically. With these loves songs like this, it’s a miracle that I didn’t get pregnant before ‘94.

The whole Debarge family is scary talented. Check out Love Me In A Special Way by Debarge. His brother El has the butter voice too

[@cindyterrones6922]

Yes, I agree with u as well. Tommy Debarge was the bass player in the group Switch as well.

[@kurtadams3021]

Indeed. Indeed 👍🏾

[@jsams8938]

@@cindyterrones6922 Yes!!! Tommy and Bobbie were 2 of the talented brohers of DeBarge. @Satori, you probably already know by now, but check out DeBarge, especially Eldra (leader) of DeBarge. He sings in that high falseto also. Beautiful voice. Reminds me of my father (looks). Loveme some DeBarge and Switch!!! I love watching you get excited over the songs we grew up with loving!!

[@blkpanther11]

Facts But Bobby Was The Voice Though

[@robertlhughes9209]

Phillip Ingram, the first lead vocals is the brother of James Ingram who passed away a couple of years ago. You should hear songs like "Love Me Over And Over Again," "There'll Never Be, "I Call Your Name." Bobby DeBarge had one of the highest, purest falsetto out there, if not the highest. He appeared on four of Switch's albums before leaving to help his siblings, DeBarge to get on the Motown label.

[@flyycurls]

I'm old enough to have heard this first hand on the radio and I never knew that... thanks.

[@loissprague167]

Switch was the complete package! A band of musicians’ musicians. They were called Switch because they played so many different instruments and would switch up between songs. The lead singer and bassist are Bobby and Tommy Debarge. Bobby was an insane talent who wrote, produced, and played multiple instruments. Tommy was as solid a bassist as you could ever hope to get. The other lead singer is Philip Ingram, James’ brother. He has played with some major talent and written music for several movies and commercials. The badass drummer is Jody Sims. He’s a great singer, too. The production team were ON his snare and high hat(There’ll Never Be)! On the horns were Greg Williams (who has played with and produced BIG names) and Eddie Fluellen, who plays with different artists and teaches youth to play music. The guitarist with one of the most tasteful, poignant solos ever (There’ll Never Be)is Michael McGloiry. Switch is one of THE BEST bands of all time.Be sure you check out their other performance they did during this show called There’ll Never Be. Some SERIOUS pocket in the rhythm section.

The term that we used back in the day is "eargasm." Sounds so good, don't you agree? Switch is a group headed by one of the Debarge brothers (related to El Debarge.) Their big hit is There Will Never Be.

[@prosperitynow979]

That's what we grew up on boyeeeee!!!!

[@sonna2240]

This song and the band Switch brings out so much emotion for various reasons. From the harmony, vocal talent, sexy 🎷 the memories the song created for me and the untimely death of Bobby Debarge and his tragic life story, which shortened his career and robbed the 🌎 of what could have been. RIP Bobby Debarge. Gone but will never be forgotten 🕊️🎶🎤

[@mackmeister1495]

*This is my favorite song by Switch! Watching your reaction was so damn satisfying I had to sub. Nothing better than that old school sh**!*

[@tajthegreatone9326]

Unless you chop and screw it but that's another level.

[@marshagreen9759]

I want you to stop saying you are sorry, it is more music like this that you haven't even heard. I really like you enjoying our music. You asked what was going on, we ate soul food and not fast food. Many wore afros, didn't have all of the products that they have now or you used the hot comb.

[@rodprice1011]

I appreciate the youngin puttin respect on REAL R&B MUSIC....love

[@judiko142]

Reminds me of the awesome house parties we used to go to. After the fast jams, the last hour or so would ne reserved for the slow and romantic songs. Glad I was around to experience and enjoy that.

[@upclose22]

Love your reaction and yes baby they were EVERYTHING!!!! Both Philip Ingram & Bobby Debarge were amazing in this piece!!!! I had the privilege of seeing them in person and what an amazing experience-Bobby Debarge had the best falsetto I’ve ever heard💕💕💕💕 Switch was a group of incredibly talented & good looking men🥰🥰🥰👏👏👏👏👏

[@blackbutterfly638]

I was in high school when this song came out, we had this album.

[@cflournoy1529]

So was I!! They came on Soul Train and my mama tossed me some money and said get to the record store ASAP!!😂😂😂

[@rexrush5594]

I was 15 n puppy loving at house parties back then . The music was so beautiful back then. I recently listened to this song over n over for days.

[@bgvan37]

Me too

[@zenaaubrey2701]

Don't apologize for downloading this song 🤣Trust me we all know you feeling it. We was feeling this back in the good old days of music. If you can do a REACTION on Everything I Miss At Home by Cherrelle ft. Alexander O'Neal

[@hollyfountain8317]

The late, great Bobby DeBarge. There will never be another. 🔥❤️

[@MaryLou913]

Immediately subbing from your reaction, mid video! 😂 Bobby’s voice played so beautiful off of James Ingram’s brother’s voice (the lead)!

[@shannonk.moorer9158]

They dropped when I was in middle school and all young people went nuts! Survives well over time, if not sounding better.

[@deebrown3208]

I lobe how you describe it, musical orgasm! That's what old school music does to you. 😂 Bobby DeBarge the greatest falsetto and Phillip Ingram were awsome. R.I.P. Bobby DeBarge 💖

[@mildredjeff5024]

That’s Bobby DeBarge a member of the DeBarge family. They are all singers. Bobby had a fabulous voice. His brother El DeBarge has almost the identical voice and he also is wonderful. He is still doing his thing. That falsetto is amazing. Phillip Ingram is the other lead singer he is also a great vocalist.

[@chocolatetye797]

The opening has that Me and Mr. Jones, vive!

Switch is my group...Just think about hearing this on the radio for the first time as a kid! It just hits you. You think you listening to old school, and they throw that twist into it and it becomes something brand new!...Loved this group! I thought Cameo was my fav, but after rediscovering Switch again...and remembering almost every song word by word...Yeah they did that!

[@Tonia682]

My mom played this album when I was kid. This is one of my favs from their debut.

[@trinathompson8587]

Hey Baby Boy,you weren't born during the era of extraordinary music,but at least you can still enjoy it as you are being made aware of it's existence! Enjoy! 🤗

The name Switch came from the members switching instruments. Don Kirshner's Rock Concert is a good scorce of 70s music of all styles. It was shot in the Aquarius Theater on Sunset Bl, Hollywood. It had a big Spiderman mural on its front wall and was directly across the street from the Hollywood Palladium and Motown Records...
