I ALWAYS got Bobby and El mixed up, back in the 80's. They both looked alike and sounded alike too. Especially when Switch came out and the Debarges were still going too. It was confusing at times. lol RIP Bobby. You made some great music with that voice, that i will never forget.
I was in 5th grade when they sung this & I had never heard anyone sing so Beautifully as Bobby DeBarge. I wish people today could sing & play instruments like this group did instead of all the songs with cursing & mumbling! Thank God for the DeBarge Family. Wish Bobby was still here but at least El DeBarge can sing too & keep love songs alive.❤ R.I.P. Bobby DeBarge. ❤️🙏🏽
Yeah ,brah ,dis dude wuz so cold before Michael Jackson, man dude falsetto voice is so cold ,me my self I sang just like him,sometimes RIP my bro ,may god bless family 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Those POOR Debarge children. They went through every kind of abuse possible by their white dad. If Bobby had better parents, maybe he would still be alive.
Better parents?? Their mother, Etterlene DeBarge, RIEP, did what she could for her children. Blame her ex-husband, who kept her pregnant for most of their marriage. She was 17 when she met him, and he was 21.
@@farrahc7055Seventeen and twenty one isn’t a big difference. I’m sorry but I stand by what I said. Letting your kids get physically and sexually abused and still staying with ole dude is bad. It’s nowhere near what the dad did but I just can’t dismiss that. I’m 100% certain that she didn’t want that to happen but, shit, there comes a time as a mother that you say, it’s my life or my kids. Sorry.
@germyw I stand by everything I stated. Her ex-husband was a domineering man, and Etterlene had few, if any, friends or relatives to turn to. I couldn't imagine what her marriage was like.
Dude was just born with IT. El says he was more talented than them all put together. So sad he had such a bad drug. Habit. He would have written some amazing songs by 2024
Does ANYONE in the world have LIVE AUDIO of Switch singing anything???? All that's out there are these performances they lip synched. A group this great and a lead as talented as Bobby has to have some live audio vocals somewhere omg
@@coffeewinetwithdawson8939 Thanks so much for taking the time! I'd already heard this "teaser" lol it amazes me how all the brothers had that smooth falsetto Bobby and El's was just a bit more polished and pure but all could do it effortlessly even Chico. I hope some day who ever has that live audio with video will have that younger person that knows how to digitize older mediums so the world can enjoy what they have on a VCR tape lol.
@@archiemahendran1025 I've listened to the studio tracks hundreds of times and that's what this is. No group in history has ever performed live and did they live track 100% as the studio track in terms of lead vocals, ad libs, and musically.
Yep and I'm still listening to this in 2024
RIP Bobby and Tommy and Moma Debarge
Switch was my favorite group of all time, Bobby Debarge's voice was incomparable. El Debarge came close though.
Me too & I am 23!! 🤣
Mine also!🎉
Bobby Debarge had that falsetto that touches your soul
Yes he did.❤❤❤❤
Yessssssssssssssssss
I’m literally crying…his voice touches me deep in my soul!!!
Indeed.
RIP BOBBY
Most sang from they gut, throat or nasal. Bobby sung from his soul and body with impeccable rhythm. A walking embodiment of music.💯
Bobby was my friend right before he died I met him in Milwaukee in the 90s also I met the mother debarge beautiful souls Amen

Love this song....old school is the best 😊 this music makes you feel good vibes ❤
Loved how bobby made his entrance from playing that organ or piano
Electric piano.
I smile every time I watch Switch videos
YES! Favorite part of the video, he walks in so smooth like he knows he's about to kill it.
Rip in peace Bobby and tommy !
That entire album was the Bomb‼️ We wore it out. Everyone loved Switch. This song brings back such great memories of The Good Ole Band Days
I miss my ole friend....i still remember the last two times we were hanging out
Such a BEAUTIFUL SOUL!!!
Best falsetto ever

Sing Bobby ❤ Rest in peace to Mrs. Debarge 🥲💔🙏🏾
My fav male singer, Bobby Debarge
Rip Bobby and tommie debarge.

What an awesome group during a very special time for 70s R&B, shame they didn’t go further. They certainly had to potentially RIP Bobby.
