A few from Switch

Man i don't think there's a band that i miss more than Switch. For a number of years, they were a big part of the music that me and my friends listened to, then all of a sudden, they were gone(at least it seemed that way).





They most definitely were one of the best bands of the late 70's and early 80's. And are, arguably, the best ballads band, of that period. Cameo, Slave, Confunkshun, The Isley Brothers, The Bar-kays and a few others might have funked harder than Switch. But as far as slow songs(and disco influenced soul), Switch gave them all (and other 80's soul and funk bands) a run for their money.

I'm constantly learning about R&B (and music) and was shocked to see how much El sounds like Bobby. 'My Friend In The Sky' is my favorite, most likely because I'm an El fan and it literally sounds like he's singing on the track.

Oh yes, Switch is one of our great luminaries of music. Jermaine Jackson was the executive producer for the majority of their music. They were awesome
