What is a dub-over? Switch used overdubbing just like most every other group in the last 60 years. They certainly did that when it came to vocals. Bobby can't sing leads and backgrounds at the same time so yes, they overdubbed. Further, this is a total lip sync to the original track. Switch was and is RIDICULOUSLY talented but you took things about fifty steps too far. LOL!

His rich falsetto and his ability to sing his fourth octave in a run of chords and a beautiful vibrato made his singing ability incomparable (listen to Why Have I Lost You, Shake Your Pants, Two Of Us, I Care For You- there are so many that's just to name a few) He is another amazing talent that was gone too soon.

I've been in love with Switch and Bobby Debarge for over three decades. Their songs are classics. Bobby Debarge was not only a very sexy man, but his voice could make me melt. His voice is absolutely magnificent. His range was incredibly superior to his brother El and most other falsetto singers with the exception of Phillip Bailey of EWF. Even though El has great range in his falsetto, Bobby's voice was as smooth as butter on a hot biscuit, effortlessly flowing from his golden pipes. Just thinking about his voice and incredible range is giving me goosebumps all over. The man was definitely one of the greatest falsetto crooners of all time. He will truly be missed. RIP Bobby, you and your voice will never be forgotten..

RIP Bobby and Tommy. I met Tommy on a flight back from LA. He was a really nice guy who, like a few of his brothers, had their struggles. Switch and Debarge gave us some memorable music that'll last the ages. ❤

Wow...every time I hear this song and "I Call Your Name"...it brings me right back to my silly, giggly, teenaged years and the sheer mind blowing reaction we all had when we first heard him sing! I can't believe he's gone. 2 weeks before my 2 and last child was born. Wow. I have to wonder if his death (from AIDS) came from his 5 year stint in prison...or had it going in but having been not been treated and died soon after release. We truly miss and love you for all the love and joy you bring!
