So we got the great El DeBarge and James Ingram on this classic song together, and back in the 70's and 80's we had their phenomenal brothers the late great Bobby DeBarge (El older brother) and Phillip Ingram (James younger brother) giving us their unforgettable and unmatched vocal ranges and harmonies in the group "Switch." El DeBarge is so sexy and smooth.

[@aprilchase9993]

Wow, I didn't know Ingram's brother was a Switch member. That was a good fact.
