That would be the album Switch II with "I Call Your Name"...It also has "Calling On All Girls" that was the jam too.

Since Scriptgirl has a thread already offering some rare Switch video/music, I didn't think it wasn't necessary to start another thread.

Switch - SPEND MY LIFE WITH YOU


It's my understanding via the yahoo debargefamily site, Mrsoulmam212 has download other rare records/songs from the Switch music vault and their one and only none- Motown album. Search Soulman's site to view the others. smile

Nah, Bobby didn't sing on this track/album, he, his brother and Philip Ingram had already left. That song came from the "Am I Still Your Boyfriend"?album, the one and only album Switch made after they left Motown and signed with 1984 / TOTAL EXPERIENCE Records. The group then consisted of:

Gregory Williams (1975-1984): vocals, keyboards
Jody Sims (1975-1984): drums
Eddie Fluellen (1975-1984): keyboards, trombone, vocals
Renard Gallo (1982-1984): vocals, percussion
Gonzales Olen (1982-1984): vocals, percussion
Attala Giles (1982-1984): keyboards

New Members to the Group.
