Description
Switch are a Soul outfit originally based in Ohio who went on to have several hit R&B singles and albums from the late 1970's to the mid 1980's after signing with Motown subsidiary label Gordy in late 1977.
Their first incarnation was as White Heat and they performed as backing band for Barry White before renaming themselves Hot-Ice. In 1978 the newly named Switch (due to the ease in which they could change vocalist or instruments on stage) released their debut album under that moniker.
Switch is a superb and exciting collection of mid and up-tempo grooves. Founding members Bobby DeBarge, Gregory Williams and Jody Sims take on the majority of the song writing and production with Jermaine Jackson also contributing his talents.
Stand out album tracks on Switch are the opener I Wanna Be With You, a funky work out which stays tight on the groove, We Like To Party... Come On, a full on call to the floor with crisp drums and a propulsive groove, the up-tempo soul shuffle Fever and paranoid closer Somebody''s Watching You, a super fuelled percussion and horn led funk bomb.
