So amazing he was. This is how Bobby did it on a bad night. Bobby was the best of the best and I'm old school.. Delfonics, Stylistics, Blue Magic ect. Bobby was the cream of the crop... man was one in a billion and the world would know this had he kept his demons in check. They don't make em like Bobby anymore. Bobby, I love you, I miss you and god bless you. Thank you for you have blessed us. They should have cloned this one.
Sing Bobby! I was 7 when they did this song but loved it! My Mom played all their songs all the time. That’s where El DeBarge got his talent from. Bobby is his big brother. Wish people could sing like this now instead of all the cursing & acting a fool. R.I.P. Bobby DeBarge!!
Phillip Ingram is fine....Looking like I picture Jesus to look like...And the song is beautiful with Bobby and his beautiful voice and his gorgeous looks. I miss these types of songs. Songs of the 70s to the 90s was banging. Boy Groups...Yeah. The girls were slamming too.
Rest in Peace Bobby Debarge Jr. the closest one to you is your little brother El Debarge. Thanks for teach him how to hit those falsetto notes. I wanna hear El sing this song. El will kill it. I WANNA BE CLOSER TO YOU BABY...............
This is real music..... it really has a meaning and I love it 🥰 I don't know what music my generation is putting out but it don't have a meaning no more. There is nothing like old school songs to me....R.I.P. Bobby Debarge love his voice he was so talented...the entire group Switch was all good too the harmony in this song was on point 😊❤
Man this song still brings tears to my eyes and give me chillz this is one of the those NEVER EVER GET TIRED OF HEARING SONGS...THANKS SO MUCH FOR GIVING US MUCH TALENT...this is a COLLECTORS ITEMS I would have a nice candelight dinner anynight and it will always DO THE TRICK! MUCH LOVE TO ALL "DEBARGES"...
This is absolutely a beautiful song, and Bobby tears it up. I miss him dearly because he was so talented. God Bless love’s 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾
Man thank god for technology because imagine not being able to flash back to smooth real old love songs like this one. reminds me of some of my real hot summers breezy nights
Got this 'ole school jam on my mp3, with some other Switch classics. Few falsetto's can compare to Bobby D's...his brother El...Phillip Baily...and the lead singer for Heatwave come to mind. Classic r & b.
Bobby, it has been 20 years since you left to be with the Lord. i will continue to enjoy the musical gift , you left us. Rest In Peace with our Lord. 08/16/15.
This song. Brings tears to my Eyes EVERYTIME I hear it. and I HAVE TO SING ALONG. All the words to this song touch my heart since the first time I ever heard it. I Love it so much that this HAS to played at my own Funeral!
Wow Bobby and that Phillip pure harmony. I so loved me some switch. Missed that kind of talent . How did we get to where we are now singing about some lemonaide and vulgar lyrics about turning pages of a bible with menses. May Yahweh have mercy its a dog gone shame
@@sammjackson70 Fast forward to 3:09 and notice that we’re hearing a ride cymbal from the drums, but we’re SEEING him on the hi-hat. And, before the “performance” fades out - just like a record - let me know where and when you spot the saxophone.
@@Fakename70 you faked talk about the music. Play today that's faking they use they use empathize any used computers to back up their music me you're fake
Bobby voice was 🔥,,all of them together sooooo very amazing , They don’t make groups like this and all in Harmony with each other too ♥️♥️, Just so Beautiful sung
Why can't we still have Soul music like this anymore? I feel sad for my children that this doesn't exist anymore for them to experience, enjoy and dance to. The fact that Hip-Hop has killed this music is a sad and unfortunate reality.
bobbys first verse...i know a voice like that would make any girl know he meant that shit! down to his soul...ooooooo AINT GONE WASTE!!! NO MORE TIIIIIIMMMMEEE WISHIN YOU WERE MINE!!!!!
This song is that good old fashion, Slow Dancing Music on the dance floor; or Baby Making Music in the bedroom. I really love this song. It is too bad El Debarge couldn't sing like his older brother, but we appreciate him for what he can sing. It is so good that someone video recorded this act. You know Don Kirshner's Concerts should have a tremendous amount of music in their vaults.
Many days have gone by.... I say to myself. I gotta let her know shes mine. Im not gonna waste no more time wishin you was mine If that what im gonna do. Is walk right up to you baby! I love this song. R.I.P BOBBY DEBARGE THE BEST FALSETTO SINGER OF ALL TIMES!
@@machellebailey2112HES SQUEAKY BECAUSE HE CAN GO UP HIGHER IN HIS FALSETTO THAN BAILEY AND RUSSELL.. BOBBY SOUNDS AMAZING. NOTHING WRONG WITH HIS VOICE
So good to reminisce over great songs, times, and the artist with the talented voices . This was truly one "slow drag" song for all times back when and it's a wonder if I didn't get pregnant off of it. LOL Yes, these songs were "give it up " music. Love this song and had to come and spin it just now and take my mind back to Switch & all the other favorites.
I can't listen to Bobby sing without thinking of those times I thought I was in love. Smh..... It was probably his hypnotizing voice that got me feeling that way 🙃😏💔
Wow just listening to this Song made me burst into tears, just lost my Dad[the man that raised me and my 4 sibling] 1week ago, this was one of his Favorite Songs to sing to my Mom around the house[ couldn't tell him he couldn't sing] I will miss you Dad Rest Now Lvu 4ever, Hair;
+Tonja Chapman, my the Lord God Almighty comfort, and keep you and your family during this very difficult time in your life." Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted". Because the circle of life and death can bring us both joy and pain, at different stages in our short lives. But hey I am sitting inside of Burger King on the computer, as a disabled veteran doing research; and I had to caught myself; wanting to bellow out of the part of this song singing out Bobby DeBarge's part. So, it is beauty to know your Dad loved your Mom so much; to attempt to sing this beauty melody to her. But when you are in love.......... Peace Be Unto You My Sister. May the Creator Of Heaven And Earth continue to comfort you. And may his Angels smile upon you. Good Bye.
+ubezygirl1 Thank you so much, I'm listening to it again, in some kind of way it's Helping, but I know that my help cometh from All Mighty Loving YAH of All Creation and Heaven and Earth, and I'm sending pray up for you, my Brother is on his way to Quawait[ excuse the spelling] in may, he's been to Irac twice and Afganistan once, I pray YAH that this is his last time he's close to retiring, YAH bless you and Thanks again
ubezygirl 1 Shalom How are you? find I pray, I'm back listening to this song, lol I'm much better because of it, can't seem to get enough of the Debarges. Yah Bless you
Love how the lead singers do this song. Always loved my Switch. Bobby's voice started it all for me...After that couldn't get enough "Debarge" Music! RIP Bobby D
My favorite sing I met Bobby before he passed away a girlfriend of mine from Grand Rapids brought me to where he was living at the time .he played the piano and song couple songs not to long after that he went to the lord.
The prelude intro, filled with incredible saxophone playing, has got to be one of the most beautiful I ever heard. This song brings back such sweet memories of my tweens. After reading Tommy Debarge's book, it's so nice to see him happy and smiling @2:23
@arlenerogerswilhite You are so right regarding the DeBarge brothers being so fine, but Bobby was in his own zone of being fine and smooth-he was a beautiful man.11-15-11.
Just don't make any sense for brothers to be that fine, and sing like that! Dang! Anyway... thanks for the post....I loved Switch when they were together..I hate that some of them had rough lives.
A dear friend introduced me to this song, in 2012! He walked away from the friendship, because he went back to his ex. It still bothers me to this day. He may not believe it, but he’ll forever be in my heart. J.R. Hello! Wherever you are.
Best song their was ever made that bad ass bobbie debarge my, miss these type of song that's when songs really was made and they could sing! or sang!!!!!!!!!! Miss This!
I was racking my brain trying to think of who made this! Didn't remember it being by that phione azz Switch with those Debarges! It's still played all the time even in 2021! 🙂
i can only speak for myself but, for me, it is much harder to sing falsetto than normal. it requires, and again, i only speak on my behalf, much more control. unless i'm doing it all wrong. Bobby had this style of singing mastered. wish he was still around. God bless you bro. Teach-n-preach!!!!!!!
Don't be fooled . . . more often than not, on 'Don Kirshner's Rock Concert' the acts actually performed their music LIVE! Don't know what happened here --- but can you believe that none other than Jermaine Jackson, himself, actually penned this lovely tune! Crazy, huh? #whoknewhecouldconstructasonglikethis #shouldasaveditforhimself
Woooooooow . . . I used to play the lines off this "record" back in the day. "AIN'T GON WASTE NO MORE TIME WISHING YOU WERE MINE, THIS IS WHAT I'M GONNA DO" . . . well?!?!
I love Bobby's voice obviously but I'm loving Phillip's leads too. They play beautifully off each other.
Such a sweet song.
So amazing he was. This is how Bobby did it on a bad night. Bobby was the best of the best and I'm old school.. Delfonics, Stylistics, Blue Magic ect.

Bobby, I love you, I miss you and god bless you. Thank you for you have blessed us.
They should have cloned this one.
He was!... i didnt even realize that either!
Exactly ON A BAD NIGHT. RESPECT SWITCH AND LOVING ME SOME BOBBY ❤4LIFE
Amen
This song can't be more soulful...this is how you sing!
My favorite Switch song of all time! A lot of so called fans think "I call your name" and "There'll never be" are the "only" hits they have.
There will never be another Bobby Debarge.R.I.P
I tip my hat to whoever found this video so old but so clear. It's a beautiful thing.
Sing Bobby! I was 7 when they did this song but loved it! My Mom played all their songs all the time. That’s where El DeBarge got his talent from. Bobby is his big brother. Wish people could sing like this now instead of all the cursing & acting a fool. R.I.P. Bobby DeBarge!!
I love to hear Bobby DeBarge voice and miss him.

I feel the same. Backin the day I bought the album based off Phillip Ingram's looks alone, lol.
Terry Sanders Yep!
