Can you react to now that what I call polka by weird al yankovic
Bruh,I've been telling peeps that you had to be a soul brother in your most previous life ... feel me!
Written and produced by the LEGENDARY Iconic Mr Jermaine Jackson
The falsetto is the legendary Bobby DeBarge
I Call Your Name and They'll Never Be are my FAVORITES!!!
Bobby was in DeBarge in the mid to late 80's. Bout 86 to 88. It was Bobby, Mark, Randy and James DeBarge. El was on his own, solo. They started out as "The DeBarges" with El, Bunny, Randy, Mark and James came a little later. Then El left and they dropped "THE" and called themselves simply DEBARGE. Bobby came out solo after DeBarge, not The DeBarges . Bobby was the mucical genius of the DeBarge children and the oldest boy & had the best voice of all the children. Every single DeBarge child could / can sing. There are 10 of them. They ALL have great voices and can blow
Switch and Debarge were two separate groups. They both contained members that came out of the same family, whose family name was Debarge.😊
The lead singer of "Switch" is Bobby Debarge (falsetto). Bobby's younger siblings formed Debarge. No one from Switch was a member of Debarge.
Bobby did eventually joined DeBarge years after some members left the group and he left Switch.
Two older DeBarge brothers were in this group(Switch), Bobby and Tommy, but they weren’t IN the group DeBarge. They were older siblings who were in Switch, and they paved the way for their younger siblings to get a deal. Philip Ingram, brother of vocalist James Ingram, was also in Switch and he is singing the lower register vocals in this song. Bobby DeBarge is singing the falsetto parts. Bobby DeBarge and James Ingram are no longer with us, but Philip is alive and well.
RIP to Tommy as well ❤️
Spot on, Greg Phillganes top left, Eddie Fluellan top 3rd from left, Jody Sims bottom right (not sure on spellings for names) rounded out that extremely talented band. Two leads, great harmonies and in my opinion they were actually better musicians than singers and that's saying a mouthful. They even had the "Best beat in town".
Bobby did sing with debarge he sand lead on I like then El sang the end
yep, bobby did join DeBarge for their final album though after some of the other siblings had left the group
@@marquiseboyd282 Randy and El sang I Like It, not Bobby. You can see this in their live performance on Soul Train in 1982. czcams.com/video/crlFbErvHhQ/video.html, and American Bandstand in 1983 czcams.com/video/BlKpLis7So0/video.html
Ooh Jack. This is a classic song. A throwback for real. Bobby Debarge has one of the best falsetto of all time 🔥🔥🔥
The LEGENDARY Switch
Switch gave us a classic indeed with this one. So smooth and enriched with passion
They were called switch because they could all sing and they could all play every instrument. The deeper voice is james ingrams younger brother Phillip and tha falsetto is Bobby Debarge
FACTS
Yeah...Bobby killing that falsetto. Phillip Ingram doing his thing too. Late-seventies...there's SO much great music from that era.
Switch - yes!!
Jermaine Jackson wrote this song and helped them get signed to Motown ❤Much respect to Bobby's falsetto, but I absolutely love Philip Ingrams' vocals on this one and another song of theirs called 'You Pulled A Switch'
Bobby Debarge had the falsetto long before his little brother El. Bobby and Tommy Debarge were in Switch along with Phil Ingram, (James Ingram's brother). The group was called Switch because during shows they would switch instruments. My favorite songs were There'll Never Be and I Call Your Name. Best to see them live on Don Kirshner's Rock Concert. Search for Switch - There'll Never Be (1978). The songs are more impactful when you can see them.
Thank you Lawrence for the request!!! I appreciate you
Bobby DeBarge is doing the falsetto and Phillip Ingram (older brother of James Ingram) is sharing the lead
Jack, if you haven't already, you should also react to "I Call Your Name" and/or "There'll Never Be" by Switch. FYI, James Ingram's brother Phillip Ingram was in this group as well and sang lead on "Closer to You."
Phillip and Bobby DeBarge are sharing leads on this song. You can clearly tell the difference in voices -- Phillip has the deeper, gutsier voice and Bobby the silky airy high falsetto.
Yes please react to There’ll Never Be!!
Two of the members of Switch are members of the very talented DeBarge family but they were not in the group DeBarge. They had about 9 or 10 siblings.
I appreciate the info!
Correct! The members of the Debarge family who were in the group Switch (Tommy and Bobby Debarge) were older than their siblings who formed the group Debarge. You could say that Bobby Debarge passed down his "falsetto gift" specifically to younger brother El Debarge!
@@rumseyh Mostly true, though Bunny Debarge of the group DeBarge is actually the oldest of the ten. But Bobby was the unofficial leader of the Debarge kids.
@@lecuyerdooley1084 Thanks for your point! Bunny was "hiding" her age very well back in the day, to be the eldest Debarge sibling lol.
It's just 1 member that was in debarge and that's Tommy. The other member is their older brother Bobby. He did some fill ins for his brother's and sister but I wouldn't consider him a member. He died in 95
The group was before deBarge after the The success of the group switch Bobby and Tommy brought the rest of their family out to California to create the group DeBarge
Two of the members in this group, Tommy and Bobby, were a part of the Debarge family; they were older brothers to Debarge, but they never were in Debarge singing group. In the picture, Tommy is the one sitting sporting a mustache; and Bobby is the one with a mustache standing that looks like Tommy. FYI Jack, the darker skinned one standing beside the guy in the hat, well dark skinned is Phillip Ingram, bother of James Ingram, who also had a great career as a solo artist in the 80's. Also, Jermaine Jackson helped produce both Switch and Debarge when they first came to Motown.
One of the guys in the group is James Ingram little brother
the Debarge guys who were in Switch are the older brothers of the group Debarge. The okder two in Switch brung them out to Los Angeles after the were established in Motown with Switch. the Berry Gordy signed the younger Debarges as the singing group Debarge. the okder two were never in their younger siblings group
Bobby(standing on far right )and Tommy(sitting in the brown sweater)may they both rest in peace
2:34 Bobby went IN 💣🔥🎧🤯
OK, here's the genesis: First, there was the Jackson 5, from which Jermaine Jackson stayed behind at Motown, where he met members of Switch in an elevator, and ultimately got them signed to Motown. Switch featured James Ingram's brother, Phillp, and Tommy and Bobby DeBarge, who's younger siblings would later surface on Motown as DeBarge, from which Eldra "El" became the breakout star.
Classic soul at its finest ✌🏾
I'm so glad you reacted to this group. 2 brothers of Debarge and James Ingrams brother was in this group
This is so beautiful OMG i love it already great request so far oh my 🔥🔥🔥🔥he has nice singing voice WOW they're so talented too much love 💕💕💕
Another awesome band! Love over and over again is another great song…Bobby’s falsetto always gives me the goosebumps and Phil’s tone is sooooo smooth.
The name of came from the fact that they used switch the instrument they were playing in a live performance
Each member could play multiple instruments
It was Bobby Debarge that was doing the falsetto
This is my song!!! It stays on repeat in my house!! Thanks for the review ☺️
I’m glad I could react to it for you!
Mine too
Bobby DeBarge with the falsetto
There's nothing like 70's soul
Shoo ‘Nuff!!
Definitely a one of one genre and era
Bobby Debarge and Phillip Ingram on lead vocals
Bobby DeBarge! 🔥🙏🏽🕊 Switch - They'll Never Be...Beautiful! 🔥🔥🔥
I don’t even have to wait for your reaction. I just know you will love this one!
And You did 🙂
That’s Bobby’s falsetto
There is a video out there with the performance of this song. A must see!😊
Always as smooth as butter. You want something smoother than this check out Blue Magic "What's Come Over Me"
From -3:49 to -2:50, so smooth 🔥🔥🔥🔥. When it sounds that good it's hard to stop, you just let it play.
Written and produced by Mr Jermaine Jackson
Yes Phillip Ingram is the brother of the late great Mr James Ingram
The other major soloist is the younger brother of James Ingram(One Hundred Ways).
BTW, this was not a 70's group. This group sang this song in the 80's.
Ur beautiful Jack and your voice..fire❤❤❤
Banger track these are the hidden classics need to be brought to light
Bobby DeBarge
No Jack 2 of the members are the older brothers of the Debarge group.
In the mid 90’s El Debarge used this sample to create a song with Babface entitled Where Is My Love. Whew! that song is nice.
Phillip Ingram & Bobby DeBarge sing lead... Phillip Ingram's brother is the legendary James Ingram
Beautiful
I appreciate you stopping by!
That's bobby debarge falsetto voice
Bobby Debarge
They were not in debarge they are the older brothers of the group debarge. But only two of them are debarge, one of the lead singers and the base player on this song
That's the oldest brother of debarge. I requested you to react to this song awhile ago.
Two of the members are in the Debarge family but were never in the Debarge group.
Some of the members are part of the De Barge family, not the group De Barge.
I Call Your Name
TOMMY DEBARGE IS DOING BACKGROUND, yes !!!
Bobby Debarge and James Ingram' brother Philip are the lead singer but Bobby And Tommy Debarge didn't sing with Debarge that group was just their younger brothers and sister
Please listen to Usher's song "Tell Me." His falsetto is purely insane. I had no idea he could hit such a high note. You will not be disappointed! Serious R&B song. Peace!
I appreciate the recommendation!
@@JackReacts904 You're welcome and enjoy!
Nice 👍
Flashback
🔥🔥🔥 request
Please do Try AGAIN by Champaign
React to Shabba ranks - “ Mr loverman”.
Your voice is magnificent. 🤗
This is my first time listening to your channel.
Personally?... I find all the unnecessary stopping of the song more than a little bit off-putting (just to insert a quick reaction--that doesn't add a thing to the review). Doing this breaks the song's continuity--and breaks the thread of the story being told.
The words being spoken SHOULD be the star of any listening experience.
Let the song have its brief moment in the sun.
Afterwards...the reviewer will have all the time in the world to display their brilliance.
Nonetheless...I'm subscribing
'cause I wanna support you;
and...to watch your growth!
Given America's current social climate, I'd like to see what someone your age would think of the Paul Simon classic,
"American Tune". If you decide to check it out, you might wanna find one with the lyrics.
Thanks!
