OMG This song was one of my number one song, I used to cried everytime i hear it. I Loveeeee this song, I was so shock to see it posted thank you U Tube, It bring back some good memories, i won't never forget. I love yall switch. We all go way back., everything is gonna be alright.
@TheTaesia915 You're welcome. This and I Call Your Name are really worth having the album. Jermaine Jackson did his thing with Switch as a writer/producer. How come good Black music like this isn't around like it used to be?
OMG! That voice of Bobby's really blew me away on this. I love it! Such a sweet and smooth sexy song that makes you feel good all over. RIP Bobby! <3 I swear he had the most beautifuliest falsetto voice I've ever heard!!
@kimbo6381- You are so right about Bobby's voice. It was the most beautiful voice I have ever heard. Just beautiful. Although El has a pretty voice, it cannot hold a candle to Bobby's smooth, perfect pitched voice, and he sang with so much emotion!!! Bobby you are truly missed!!
I love El Debarge, but he could not touch Bobby's voice. Bobby Debarge was one of the best falsetto voices I ever heard. Someone please post You and I, and you will see what I am talking about. Love you Bobby. RIP.
This was when music was real music. There will never be groups like this ever again. Hear Jermaine singing background friends? And Bobby was in a class of his own. Classic!
I had an autographed album by all of the members of Switch including Bobby Debarge and my mother lost it when she did not pay her storage. I was 13!!! urrgh!
Loop Skating Rink, South side Chicago 95th St, 8-11 waiting for a boy to ask me to slow skate off of this but to no avail....that's ok, I'm FINE now. :) Good memories, thanks Switch...
i can remember dancing to this song at the basement parties in Mt Airy philly... with the light out and just thinking my young ass was really in love... thanks for the memory... love this song... a forgotten hit
THIS JOINT IS SPECTACULAR!!!!! HOW I MISS THOSE DAYS!!!!! REAL R&B W/ BABY MAKING QUALITIES!!!! I NEED SOME ROLLER SKATES & AN AFRO FB FAMOS!!!!! TEARS TO MY EYES.............. D.
i love this song, bobby's voice made this song, R.I.P. bobby, all you guys were the best, bobby had that special something that made him the sexy great man that he was. switch is forever. 12-03-10
I still scream my head off when I here this song, as if I'm a teenager still in love with guys I'll never meet. Thank you switch for being part of myfairy tale life with songs like this. You guys bought me through some real hurtful relationships. (puppy love). I think I was 14 or 15 when this came out. WOW!!!!!!!
OMG!!! I was just getting ready to ask everybody if anyone knew where I could find this song!!! I haven't heard this jam since I was 17 yrs old. Thank you so much for posting favorite Switch song ever!!! I remember sitting my bedroom, smokin' up and singing my ass off to this jam over and over with my mom yelling at me to sing louder and louder. Then I would break out the Confunction slow jams and get my groove even more. Wish I could still that high today!!! You know what I'm saying???
Besides "Calling All Girls", the other Switch "GREAT" was, "I Wanna Be With You"... Dam, those were the days! I still have the SWITCH album by Switch in mint condition in plastic! :-)
This is the song that was playing when I got my first real big girl kiss, while slow dragging!!! yeah I said it...slow dragging....He was 16 and I was 14...***sigh***
That was the best 4:00 minutes I ever had vertically...lol
This is one of the first songs I truly fell in love with..... this is when music meant something. It was the kind of music that made you want to go out and find someone to call your own. The voices of Mr. Ingram and Mr. DeBarge were a hell of a combination. The best.... Thanks for the memories!
@TheThutt1 Was he his name Phil Ingram? It's been so long since I listened to this group I don't remember anymore. But you are so right about the vocals being so perfect together, especially for this song. Man they just don't make music like this anywhere anymore. It's a cryin' shame we are stuck with this BS these days.
@Grinagain67 Yes his name is Phillip Ingram, and you are right we don't have anyone out right now who can touch Switch. I don't even think anyone is trying to bring back the soulful sounds. Maybe if we had more love songs there would be less violence. Can U Feel Me?!!!!!! I think that you can!!!!
@TheThutt1 Most definitely my friend! This beat your mom, rape your sister and take your dog's virginity music out now is so violent and disrespectful to every race, both genders, and goes against everything we are all about.
This is my absolute favorite Switch song. I know other ones are probably more popular but this one makes me melt. As a teenage girl I could relate to trying to find someone to call my own. The voices blend so beautifully and Phillip Ingram and Bobby DeBarge are absolutely perfect leads.
.............No - I can't think of one group today that is in the same calibre. This is why we have these fantastic groups and awesome music, whose legacy continues to live on.
No one will ever be able to duplicate that natural falsetto of the late great Bobby DeBarge. His voice was one of a kind. And yes, Eldra is good, but he even said that his idol was his big brother Bobby. now that was made props. Bobby rest in peace and remember that you were the greatest in my book.
Switch member Phillip Ingram is the brother of singer James Ingram. They grew up with and went to school with Howard Hewitt of Shalamar. All are from Akron, OH.
OMG! Thank you for posting this song! I've been looking for it for SO LONG! This is by far my favorite Switch song! What many people don't know is that Jermaine Jackson was executive producer of this album and sung back up on this song. Listen to the voices.....you'll here him at the end. Thanks again!
this song is one of the reason i love switch and bobby so much, i love this song, may u r.i.p.bobby, to me u had and will alway'shave that sexy voice, miss u. 11-02-09.
This song still pulsates my heart to rhythmic smooth relaxation. Although the song is "Calling On All Girls", it makes me only think of one. The one who I want to be with so bad. My soulmate, my missing rib. Definitely a smoove groove. Thanks for posting.
another hood slow song anthem! man the music of today aint shyt compared to the oldies and groups and i like hip hop! i was 12 or 13 when this came out couldNT wait to drive to pick up the honeys to a grove like this comin oUtta KC
Man......... This one took me back to some ol' skool love (LOL). Seriously I have some classics in my stash, but I MUST HAVE THIS ONE ! If you can send me the Mp3, i would really appreciate it. If you are looking for some other old skool joints let me know, if i have it , I will hook you up.
yes, this could be considered a FAVORITE switch tune. no air-play? that's okay. it is a red-light basement party classic. "okay, ladies it's time to slow dance."
come on aliquippawill, you are definitely entitled to your opinion but your FAVORITE switch tune. This song hardly got any play and i dont even remember it. But to each its own
My God! It's been a little more than a minute since I've had the pleasure of savoring this classic! "Calling On All Girls" is, without debate, my personal, all-time favorite Switch tune. When Motown issued a "Millenium Collection" edition of the greatest hits of Switch, the fact that this "diamond" wasn't included in the collection was a definite downer. The 70's were not only my High School & College years, but also my favorite musical era, BY FAR! Switch had a major impact on that period.
EssentialClassic please post (You're the one for me) from this album..... SWITCH IS THE END OF THE GREATS SUCH AS ENCHANTMENT, BLUE MAGIC, STYLISTICS & A FEW OTHERS....
Phillip & Bobby are tearing this song up! Phillip's voice is soo sexy & Bobby's floats so heavenly...Love it, Bobby D is really breaking it down from 2:40 to 2:49!!!
From 3:32 to 3:34--oh, oh, oh--love it! EssentialClassic, you have a great channel :-)
Old school in da house--I love this slow jam!- Phlilip Ingram sings this with so much emotion and feeling and I love Bobby Debarge's effortless falsetto- this music brings back so many memories-Switch was so underrated- what a talented group of brothas- and they were oh, so fine...
Wow!! I am sitting here listening to this song just grinnin from ear to ear! Thanx for posting this song!! Everybody talks about El Debarge but Bobby was the original.
Most times when Switch is mentioned Bobbie Debarge gets all the glory, but let's not forget the smooth butter lead vocals of Eddie Fluellen also! Thanks for this posting. This song use to make me cry!
This is my favorite Switch song. So beautiful and Bobby just killin' it! Reminds me of skating at the Loop Skating Rink on the South Side of the Chi in the late 70's, early 80's.
its a shame that so much drama comes with the greatest voices of our time. May they all RIP. Thank you jermain jackson for writing some of these great songs and recognizing a great group.
All I say is in the 80s I put my best chick snacthin threads on shined my ride like glass, fresh peach tree in the rearveiw, and a mix tape of Switch, Debarge, Luther,Marvin, and Anita str8 killen the females. But this music showed me how to be gentle towards women. Approach them as soft as Bobbies voice and you will be doing fine. Keep this music away from ghetto women they like being slapped around and hearing crazy music.
This is when light skinned brothers were in....lol! Just jokes. I love this group.

The 70's were not only my High School & College years, but also my favorite musical era, BY FAR! Switch had a major impact on that period.

Old school in da house--I love this slow jam!- Phlilip Ingram sings this with so much emotion and feeling and I love Bobby Debarge's effortless falsetto- this music brings back so many memories-Switch was so underrated- what a talented group of brothas- and they were oh, so fine...

Most times when Switch is mentioned Bobbie Debarge gets all the glory, but let's not forget the smooth butter lead vocals of Eddie Fluellen also! Thanks for this posting. This song use to make me cry!

This is my favorite Switch song. So beautiful and Bobby just killin' it! Reminds me of skating at the Loop Skating Rink on the South Side of the Chi in the late 70's, early 80's.

@lookafterlove Jermaine has discovered some of the most talented people. Add Whitney Huston and Stephnie mills to the list.

All I say is in the 80s I put my best chick snacthin threads on shined my ride like glass, fresh peach tree in the rearveiw, and a mix tape of Switch, Debarge, Luther,Marvin, and Anita str8 killen the females. But this music showed me how to be gentle towards women. Approach them as soft as Bobbies voice and you will be doing fine. Keep this music away from ghetto women they like being slapped around and hearing crazy music.
