 Notes  
     During the early to mid-70's, Bobby DeBarge, Eddie Fluellen, Phillip Ingram
     (brother of James Ingram), Jody Sims, and Gregory Williams were in the
     Ohio-based White Heat. The band backed Barry White and recorded a
     self-titled album - released by RCA in 1975 - produced by the maestro.
     Budgetary constraints forced White to cut ties with the band, which
     subsequently morphed into Hot-Ice, an outfit that featured DeBarge, Sims,
     and Williams, as well as DeBarge's brother Tommy. That band released an
     album on Polydor in 1977.
     Jermaine Jackson helped them secure a contract with Motown offshoot Gordy.
     As Switch, the band proved to be popular in clubs, as well as within the
     quiet storm radio format. Their singles "There'll Never Be" (1978), "I Call
     Your Name" (1979), and "Love Over And Over Again" (1981) reached the Top 10
     of Billboard's R&B chart. After Switch's fifth and final album for Gordy,
     the DeBarge brothers departed to support sibling group DeBarge.
     By the time Switch released "Am I Still Your Boyfriend" (1984) on Total
     Experience, Sims and Williams were the only original members, along with
     Fluellen (who had joined for the third album), Renard Gallo, and Gonzales
     Ozen. That album sold poorly, and Switch broke up. Bobby DeBarge passed
     away due to AIDS complications in 1995. Throughout the 2000s, the band's
     recordings were sampled by the likes of De La Soul ('A Brighter Tomorrow'),
     Ne-Yo ('It Just Ain't Right'), Rich Boy ('Throw Some D's'), and Erykah Badu
     ('That Hump'). Ingram, Williams, and Fluellen reunited, added new members,
     and toured during the same decade.
