Just jamming with my newborn. This ole' school music puts his fat self right to sleep. 💃🏾💃🏾Someone is going to read this because they stumbled across this page, due to feeling lonely. I'm supposed to tell you, "All is not lost and you have always been loved and guided by your spirit guides and angels. Allow them in so the suffering can end. " Not sure who that message is for. I just obey the instructions. I love you all!🫂❤
❤May Mother God bless and protect you and your family ❤
Beautiful old days...
Back in the day when music was just awesome to listen to.
❤Back in da dey when a man wasn't scared to tell a woman how he felt about her😎🇵🇷💙
No lies.
Some songs will never get old❤😊
This song is like butter OMG!!!
El Debarge said he is a perfectionist but, his brother Bobby was just PERFECT 😮
Every time I listen to Switch or watch their videos I am time traveled back to some of the best times of my life. ❤️
And still in 2024 I'm still in love with this group ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Me too! Always will be!
Me too!
I was signed to the same Record label as Switch. I used to watch them in rehearsals and onstage in concert. They were excellent musicians and very professional. Greg Williams - the trumpet player, was the main force behind the band and ran things. Many people don't know their name is Switch because the band members would switch instruments during their shows.
Greg was my homie!! Cool cat
@@sethiemethy That’s cool! Yeah he was a cool brother. We were on Total Experience records with the GAP band Back in the day. I learned a lot from him and Charlie Wilson
@@thebrazilshowYea, I’m a musician and my drummer used to tell me all the stories. Hey do you have any of your music here on CZcams that I can listen to?
And what happened to your career??
Greg said he worked hard to locate & put together the best bc he did not want to fail again as the Barry White thing did
That's What's Real Music Sounds Like 🎶🎵🎶 ?
Yes indeed
It's 3:45 a.m. I can't sleep but I came across this beautiful video and I'm feeling good❤❤❤😂
Amazing how so many people have recently tuned into this. Incredible song Jermaine Jackson is a writer on this song. totally beautiful and never gets old.
Slow dancing house parties 🥰🎺🎸 💐

Still a very beautiful song! ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Bobby & Phillip sound so good together. The way the song starts off with Phillip then Bobby steps in so smooth, 🔥🔥
Today, I wish that Bobby DeBarge and Tommy DeBarge were alive, as I type this comment.
Sweet
Yes. Bobby was no joke. Was blessed with that voice
Makes me so emotional.❤❤❤
black music the roots of all music...this kinda music can't never be replaced.
After all these years … still a smooth jam… just ❤it !!!
Nothing like old school🔥🔥🔥🔥
Oh God …true statement…
This is a time when just listening to music was enough
I love Switch! Brings back some bitter sweet memories! ❤
60’s baby and this was real singing! I sung this song to my first girlfriend in 6th grade😊
Jermaine Jacksons best song in my opinion!
Bobby DeBarge probably didn't get this kind of love like he is now, Thats why we gatta show love like this before they're gone!
So true. Many times we don't appreciate people until they are gone.
REAL MUSIC 🎵🎵🎵
Love me some Bobby DeBarge and Philip Ingram. Their voices are everything!! ❤
The 70s had some really great music👌🏿🎵🎶 Such angelic voices.....
Alot people think El is actually Bobby because people aren't that familiar with the Debarges story, but Bobby was that guy most of the songs we thought was El was really Bobby God Bless them both RIP Bobby💯💪
Yea, lots of people did. But Bobby was the most talented out of them all! Then El was next.. El was close but no cigar..
And even El himself admitted that Bobby blew EVERY BODIES SOCKS OFF THAT came to either work, learn or compete. These two were the real deal and they had naturally high voices and so didn’t have to strain with falsetto as much. Yes they still used falsetto, but it was easier for them because they were already up there in that range naturally!
@@user-vf5bv6vo4b no lies told there brother, you absolutely spot on
Wow... awesome insight... I'm learning more about their musical roots..Mama DeBarge was a prolific singer...they most likely inherited her musical traits 😊
@@jonathanharris8566 Thanks my friend. I’m a singe musician myself. But definitely nothing like Bobby or El, they were truly blessed by the right hand of God!
The whole group was very talented, but Bobby had a voice from heaven . and I have not yet heard a voice like that again in my life and I’m 58 still waiting GOD bless you, your voice is truly missed Lots and lots of love and hugs to the switch group
❤❤
Wow 1978 memories RnB Soul. Really Nice !!
Bobby's falsetto is breath taking
This was one of the greatest groups of that Era when young black people were deep into expressing their talents and we were supporting them every where they went performing and it was just a great day and time to display ur skills and I loved it jamming at all the parties and going to the concerts and applauding for those groups and we sure loved them and that Era will definitely be missed
And don't forget all positive uplifting music, stuff now...I just can't get with most of what our people are making, and I'm not that old I'm 34...but I grew up in the 90's with stuff like this, this is what my family listened to at BBQ's, birthdays, or whatever kind of celebrations..my grandfather and his brothers had a band, they could play instruments and sing etc..they never got popular but I think they were pretty good, my late uncle played woodwind instruments, my grandfather is good at base, their older brother could play piano and their younger brother my other uncle was good on the drums. I love music from the 60's, 70's 80's and 90's...early 2000's it started to go downhill imo, and now it's too point where anything modern si filled with a bunch of trashy bs that honestly makes me kind of depressed when I lsiten to it...I only really only listen to jazz, blues, and electronic dance music that's modern....music made by our people now is filthy, can only listen to so much...filth, I can't groove with the music of today...but hey, that's for them, its a reason why these young black artists are getting money like they are...because that's what is popular now, but it's not better pure music..with great vocals, real instruments etc. There is a few artists out there trying to keep positive black music alive..but they are few and far between and not many of them are popular artists. Thanks for sharing those thoughts.
Great point and beautifully put.
Phil Ingraham should have been feature more in this group. That combo was tough to match!
❤❤❤🎩🦱🎸🎺📯🤘🍾🥂Back in the day...we had smooth cultural icons and groups entertaining us.
Jermaine Jackson wrote this at 24 years old. Bobby Debarge is 22 years old & Phillip Ingram is 20 years old singing this classic.
They was young
The fact they were so talented it's miles better to the stuff put out today
This is one of my All- time favorite ❤️ groups!!! Bobby was Absolutely Mesmerizing, Philip was amazing! and Jermaine Jackson was a Genius writing ✍🏽 this Mega Hit!!!! Rest in peace Bobby 💐
The truth is the song was wrote by Jermaine Jackson, And Gregory Williams. 😊
❤❤❤
This song had ever teen age boy trying to hit them notes back in the late 70s standing in front of the mirror, getting that Fro together 😊😊😊😊
I miss this era of music when it was pure raw talent from the vocals down to the instruments
Love, love that song. Beautiful lyrics, and excellent harmonies.❤
Man, these melodies, harmonies, and lyrics make you forget the heartbreak of falling in love and want to do it all over again. Bobby's falsetto piercing your heart with Phillip's vocals touching your soul. This song is so beautiful 😍
Idk why this popped up on my feed, but that's some hell of a good music. Thinking back to my skating days...there was this older guy who tore the floor up to this and Magic Man ❤
That is a classic piece of quality music!
Still in 2023 this song reign supreme. Ugh I SIMPLY LOVE THIS GROUP.....
There's nothing like old school slow jams
Rip Bobby 🙏🏾
Damn…So talented. All of them. What a beautiful song. Everything about it.❤
Old school. When the young ladies of the 70s and early 80s knew what time it was.
Guys knew how to court the ladies back then!!
I love this song
My favorite from them--still love it.
Thank you for commenting and thank you for watching (and sorry for my slow reply).
I was 12 when this came out...my fiends and I would drool over the album covers and pick who we would marry! Those were the fun times!
Sweet memories, Rest in peace my love💜🕊️💜
This is literally a PERFECT song to me. The instruments, the vocals, the lyrics, the harmonies, the way everything just blends together so perfectly 🥹 I’m a 90’s baby but Switch gone do it for me everytime… the way Bobby glides on these tracks will never be duplicated!
100%
Back in the day with
the blue ight parties, Damn miss those days!!!
Slow jam....slow drag...sweet memories ❤❤❤❤
One of the Dopest performance I have ever seen
Music that has stood the test of time♥️
This music should have passed the ultimate test.
You said it...
Switch just won you over back in the day you had to like them.
Music to listen to when cleaning the house on Saturday mornings.
Timeless classic. Smooth Groove even in 2023. They just don't make songs as good as this anymore. RIP Bobby DeBarge. Your brother El DeBarge always pays you homage in ALL his concerts.🤗💜
Remember this like yesterday ❤
Damn this is my Song 💯
That’s One of the Greatest Romantic Song Ever Especially the way they sing it 💯👏🏽✊🏽👍🏽🙏🏾
I love you Switch. Love you Phil and Bobby
I still listen to this song and all my old skool....REAL MUSIC NEVER DIES
Preach
2o24 listen to that sax it's the max just relax then Bobby hits those notes all votes yeah switch was wicked 😊😊😊😊😊😊
OH yes!!! Thats why 70s music will always be the best
Pass the bread cause this was the JAM!!!! This music needs to come back, real voices, harmonies and REAL MUSICIANS
Those Debarges.., the Detroit area pumped out so much talent even after the Motown era ended. Anita Baker, Cherrelle, Dwele, Kem, Keith Washington, The Jones Girls, Alicia Myers, Madonna, Aaliyah (raised there since 5), etc
Anita Baker can't sing.
@@garrison8215Madonna can’t either.
Debarge from Ohio
Detroit needs to emphasize on that... Add more than just the Motown museum turn the Grand Blvd into a music tourist attraction like no other
Grand Rapids Michigan @@cle-chi
The 70s had some incredible songs. ♥️🔥
Ig reel brought me here ... Bobby's falsetto & Philip Ingram vocals, with that 🎺 intro & the baseline 🎸 -> 🔥🔥🔥
Jermaine J. & Switch were the hope & promise of young black America, what a highly gifted group of guys, what a heartbreaking tragic end
I am so happy I grew up when they did shows on live TV like this I was 11 when this song came out
This is the sexist jam ever. The way Jermaine wrote it, the way Bobby and Philip sung it ------ SENSUAL . So pretty. No other could have sung it better than Phil and Bobby De. They did the damn thing on this sung
What a love song wow that harmony is flawless too good.
Getting chills watching this🥰👏Switch was one of my favorite groups growing up… Was amazing seeing them perform live in concert 🎶 Bobby Debarge’s voice was just -wow!! This song and There’ll Never Be”were my favorites. Also props to Philip Ingram and the other amazingly talented musicians and singers. Miss the days of multi-talented groups like this💕👏 Thanks for sharing this..
❤Oh babyyyy this is that ol school *feel* *good* music meant for *real* *true* *love* yes!❤
💋 *Kevin* come here my sweet *sexy* love it's *time* to be *blessed* we *prayed* for *this* love babe!❤

They just don’t make Music like this anymore . Oh my goodness I just love this kind of music they voices the voices is so mesmerizing absolutely love it thank you switch❤❤❤
This is a beautiful song, excellent harmony and vocals.
❤❤It also reminds me of Billy Paul, Me and Mrs Jones ❤❤
Wow being a teenager in the 70’s and seeing these groups on Tv or hearing them on the radio, was a cherished part of growing up💖💖
OMG!!! Where was I when they sang this song?😁🔥🔥🔥🔥💯 Love, Love, Love!!! Real music.🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽💜💜💜

Lord... Priceless!!!!! I'm a grown ass Man reduced to my Childhood listening to this 💎💎💎 - Single ready to mingle!! LOL!!!
Great song, written and produced by Jermaine Jackson.
Wow I didn’t know that
@@mariebray5941. Yep! Jermaine Jackson discovered Switch and brought them to Motown.
Every time I hear this song, I get so emotional. This song really touches my soul.
Yes, it got me too!! I wish I could turn back the hands of time.😢😢😢
Classic song 💜💜
This shit is soooo smooth and mellow that you can't help to love it. I was dating someone any I dedicated this to her. For a first date you can not go wrong playing this song.
Real music real voices ! Man the times are so different ! Thank you guys for this song and sharing your talents!
Used to watch this every weekend as a kid, think it aired friday nights....
Late night on the WestCoast.
Taking a shower now and I heard this beautiful song three times! 😊❤
Real music. Talented musicians
Was this song Ever No.1 on the R&B List if not it should have Been There movements are so Smooth and the sound/music is Tremendous Outstanding 💯👏🏽✊🏽👍🏽🙏🏾
Keep in mind there were tons of great music back then! Great as this song is it still could have been beaten.
Nope. #22 on R&B chart for this song. As stated above, the competition was strong.
Reminds me of "Me and Mrs Jones...by the Dramatics"
Too true 🥰
Corn;Try a little of Freddie Jackson.Alot more spicy. mr and misses Jones.😏
Me and Mrs. Jones by BILLY PAUL
My group💞💕 70s Baby here!!
Sang BOBBY & Phillip!
Great song Jermaine! ❤
I love this song! I wish they still made music like this where the lyrics of the song can express how you feel. 🎶❤🎵
A true classic
I'm listening right now, 2024 it'd on repeat!🎺🎶🎼🎵❤❤❤
Imagine if Bobby was still alive and they would have all stayed together they would be HUGE and sell arena like Earth Wind and Fire today
Why imagine? You now can hear what he left for the world to enjoy forever.
@@jamesrobinson8612 because they are not selling arenas and they are not as legendary as EWF and they would have been if Bobby was alive
