"A brighter tomorrow" - cool interlude by Switch written by Jermaine Jackson

This cool interlude is co-written by Jermaine and was included on the album Reaching for Tomorrow by Switch. Jermaine can also be heard singing on the interlude. This cut was released in 1980. He also co-wrote the title track on the album. Jermaine played bass on all songs and drums and percussion on a few songs. He was also one of the executive producers.

It kind of has the same vibe as "You've Changed" an interlude Jermaine wrote for his own album "Jermaine" released in 1980.

The interlude starts at 4,38 in the clip. (Before the interlude is another good song written by Jermaine - All because of you)

Jermaine wrote, arranged and produced a lot on this album including his classic "You like me don't you".

Switch II has one of my all time favorite songs Best Beat In Town.

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton
