oh damn..these are simply beauitiful songs. One made me cry damn near recently because it was thrown on at a club with no warning..wtf how can u take someone back with no warning..especially They'll Never be? With fancy fun and drinks all around? Thats dangerous.

"since..we are lyin here..."

"I call your name ..wheneva I get lonely baby..I think of you..and it eases the pain..takes a way the strain"

worship ya hear?

"Rememory" okay, do I remember that from a Toni Morrison novel? smile

Anyway, That song was smoove. I know that one of the members (a Debarge) died of AIDS some years ago. Another member was the brother of singer James Ingram.

Ewww! Didn't those cats know that real fans would know them w/o the photo ID???

In a strange way, this reminds me of how P-Diddy, (Puffy, Puff Daddy, etc.) always has to be recognized, always has to be up in somebody's video. Like he MUST let folks know "Yeah, I had a hand in this, throw some shine my way."

Whatever happened to modesty and staying behind the scene?

Sorry to digress... This thread was about Switch... Carry on! smile

Actually, I don't think it was deliberate ( wearing the shirts) but that is how we noticed who they were so I don't know maybe. As for the "real fan" thing I was a real fan so that is why I knew their names at the time instead of just looking for Bobby.

the Industry did away with the MJ,Prince type of Enigma type of Pop Star when Hammer,etc... blew up.the Game changed during the late 80's.People wanted a different kind of Pop Artist.Switch wasn't seeking out Puffy attention&they got the Kind of Hype that he Got Sadly.Puffy will Pimp his Momma if He thought a Flash Bulb would go off?
