[georginamorganful]

[TheMeekgurl]

oh my god this song is like heaven, for some it just makes you feel good even though it's about a woman who is deceiving lol

[bjc291]

A truly great old skool tune, thanks to heyroz27 for uploading this.

[tbonela213]

this could & should be a hit song with all the bs thats out now!! notice how the lyrics still apply 25+years later.

[mumrah33]

This. Is. A. Classic.

[andreassavvas4433]

cheating lying deceet the pains when love goes wrong all summed up in this record

[tonyfresh11]

[shaamya]

Switch IS WONDERFUL!!!!

[CANADA6578]

LOVE THIS SO MUCH !!!!!

[careywasp]

cool tune from way back when!

what i wan't tp know is who who pressed the thumbs down for this song!!

sort your life out fool!

[GazzaAyrton]

@careywasp It was clearly someone who is deaf cannot hear music. I first heard this on CHIOCE FM in the good old days. It was the revival beat of the week and would be played every show for a week as voted by the listeners.

[am2452]

Hey the beat on this reminds me of "Joy" by Teddy Pendergrass. Does anyone else hear it? Or is it just me?

[tshahar68]

what a song!!

[antonisus]

Bought this 12" back in the eighties when it first came out. Love it then and still love it now as it holds such sweet menories. What a timeless mesmerizing classic. Bring back the eighties funk/soul era, much better than the rubbish they play now.

[XxBabyGurlLovexX]

@antonisus I totally agree. I enjoy listening to old funky/soul 70s and 80s classics like this and I'm 18. I hardly listen to this rubbish today :)

[antonisus]

@XxBabyGurlLovexX You're only 18, well done for having such wicked taste in music. It surprises me the sort of stuff young people listen to these days, such rubbish with no substance.

[XxBabyGurlLovexX]

@antonisus Yea that's true because I believe that Old School music is the best and I enjoy listening to it all. I really don't give a care about much of this mess they play today. I have a certain taste in music and I enjoy being different when others may think I'm silly. Music now doesn't make much sense. It's ridiculous *smh*

[luzcommunique]

LUV this track <3

[himangol]

One of my all time Classics

[lammylama]

OMG....loved this song back in 80's...remember it from JFM,solar etc.....still have it on cassette tape somewhere....timeless classic!!!!!!!

[royston1960]

Actually, you got your wish already. Switch has already reunited, but El isn't on lead. They are doing concerts around the States, so look out for them. Join The DeBarge Network to find out more.

[ttbrooke]

El was never part of Switch. It was his brother Bobby.

[richard122345678]

[frozenimpact]

[eamcas67]

Man talk about a memory jolt.This is such a class choon and I can't seperate this in my head from 2 other class steppers from back in the day Windjammers Tossin' and Turning and Sunfire Young Free and Single

[byfordd]

classy tune

[HorusRising]

Damn!!!! Been a minute since I've heard this. Big stinkin' classic. Respect due heyroz27 for taking back.

[lldimples]

I am a BIG fan!!! I love those guys! I wish they would do a reunion with El in the lead, since he sounds the closest to Bobby. BOBBY FOREVER!!!!!!!

[Mshoney720]

A Switch reunion would be sooooo nice! Are all of the other member still alive? Does anyone know? I would travel many miles to see that concert!!!

[spmastermix]

Big up Harare Posse!!

[rodeoxxx]

Oh god!! this guys really kick ass!!.

[Suckerman12]

DO you have "switch it baby?"

[malefti]

I had last heard this tune in 1984 but kept on singing it until i heard it again this year! I never forgot about it-such a great tune!

[annamarie1971]

whats wrong with the idiots who "make" music nowadays? they should just go back and listen to the 80s and feel ashamed!

always loved this song.  thanks

[SEGOVIA1992]

They do listen 80s, then they think they can make it better and sample it. Still it turnouts out like sh*t.

[sexysoulsurvivor66]

Beautiful memories, just beautiful, cant say any thing but goose bumps

[sexysoulsurvivor66]

Got married 1990, split up 1991. well we got back 1992 so i would always play this tune.... To this day I still love him. AMANDAXX to PAUL

[foncett]

beautiful!! such memories!!!

[Qntesenchl]

I've never heard this song. My mother had an extensive record collection when I was young. Sadly, she gave them all away (including mine that had gotten mixed in!). She was clueless! :-) Anyhoo, she had Switch and, like so many, I thought all of the guys were soooo goodlooking! I might have been 10yrs old. I love all things DeBarge and have just discovered youtube (I know!). Just learned through youtube that Bobby passed away (RIP). Hearing these songs really touch my heart. Thanks so much!

[heyroz27]

You're so welcome :)

My mom did the same thing and she had a couple of Switch LPs and I always wonder why Debarge sound like Bobby in Switch. Then of course I eventually found out. But I used to have a crush on the one who wore the baseball jacket and kind favor Ray Parker jr. I think his name is Eddie Fullen. The other guy in the hat use to remind me of my uncle LOL. That was the cool thing about having record covers vs cd covers you can really get a good look at them. Take care!

[Nanadsyl]

Oh you are right about that guy with the baseball jacket, he is the one I thought was the finest too!!

[gazmosmall]

you the man. been looking for this for ages. top tune. keep em coming

[Tchalla77]

Electric Ballroom circa 1984.George Power & Paul Anderson useto rock this + many other boogie joints.Big yowsa to all the great personality dancers from the original London boogie who flew the soulful funk flag in the aftermath of Crackers...Little John Riley, The Browns aka Milliners(Michael,Dave,Geof)& Andrew Banfield of dance troupe Finesse & later Pasadenas,Kelvin Tambale,Mark & the Company Boyz, Paul Trouble Anderson,Simon, Juliette,Steve from West London,Tony 'Buzzboy' Francis.

[rkztjm]

By the time the song to this album came out the original members of Switch had sadly pretty much disbanded, Switdh was totally a different group. Bobby and Tommy joined the family group DeBarge. Phillip Ingram pursued a solo career.

[nearbyray]

Been searching for this for years. What a tune. it reminds me so much of club in manchester call Thursdays where they used to play it all the time.

[scorpio411uk]

This song tugs at my heart strings because it reminds me of a very wonderful time! I feel sad for Bobby who passed. Thank u sooo much!

[kobe10uk]

Benn trying to find this for years, it reminds me of my Dad, who sadly passed away a few years ago, he loved it. Haven't heard it for years, wish it was available for download, but can't find it anywhere. Thanks at least I can listen to this when I need an eighties fix. Thanks so much..

[malefti]

[skeet4prez]
