Just love when youngins finally hear our music...............
They will see that our era was truly amazing! The 60's 70s, and early 80's was it!
Girl this Song is EVERYTHING! ❤My FAVORITE! LOVE... LOVE... LOVE Switch ❤Bobby Debarge
This is a great soul classic
RIP to Bobby DeBarge (co-lead vocals) and Tommy DeBarge (bass)
My favorite song by them....SMOOTH!!!
Oh Mine Too! LOVE IT!❤
I used to be a dj back in 1980 baby sister and when i played this jam the dance floor was packed with people slow dancing!
When these songs were written they were showing real love!! Actually courting a woman, not just hit and run.
I love to see the reaction of our young people when they hear real music for the first time. This what we came up on. This is your music my people.
Real talk! Blk love was so profound back then!
I see you 👀 love that harmony 😊...check out Earth Wind and Fire - Where Have All The Flowers Gone...you're going to love it 😀
Sheray, we ladies *stayed* in a chokehold back in the day over all the singers we had!
Bobby DeBarge and Philip Ingram tore that song up!🎉
YES!!❤❤
An extra smooth as melted butta on hot popcorn reaction 🧈🍿! I see 👁👁 that you have reacted to Switch before: I Call Your Name and There'll Never Be. I Wanna Be Closer was the second single released from Switch's 1978 debut album: Switch. It was written and produced by Jermaine Jackson. The song reached #22 on the R&B chart. Bobby DeBarge, who is the lead singer on this song along with Phillip Ingram, is the second eldest member of the DeBarge family. Tommy DeBarge plays bass guitar in the group as well. This performance is from 1979 on the TV show: Don Kirshner's Rock Concert.
Lyrics 🗒:
Girl I'll be the man you want me to
Ooh too ohh
Many days have gone by I say to myself
Got to let her know she is mine
Oh ain't going waste no more time
Wishing you were mine
If it what I going to do, going walk right up to you baby
Say I love baby I, I, I, I, I love you
You should know (Girl you should know)
Girl my love is so for real (that my love is so for real)
And I'll do anything to have you near… (To have you near)
I want to be closer (Girl! I've got to be closer) to you baby, Oh
I want to be closer, to you baby
(To love, and hold you and squeeze you
And please you and do everything that you want me to do)
You should know (You know how I feel girl)
That my love is so for real (you oh know my love is so real)
And I'll do (I'll do anything) anything to have you near……
Your time is running out
Girl got to surrender
Said I'll be so good to you
And this you can depend on
Ain't no body going to do the things that I will do for you
Girl I'll send you flowers everyday
(I'll send you flowers) ay (every hour) day ay
(Cause you know) you should know (girl you should know) how I feel
(You know, you know, you know, you know) That my love is so for real
(My love, my love, my love, is real)
And I'll do (anything) (anything) anything
I going keep you with me cause your (mine baby) mine, mine, all mine, mine, mine
I want to be closer, (I, I, I, I, I,) to you baby (I want to be closer, closer)
I want to be closer, (Girl! I've got to be closer) to you baby
(Everyday of my life) I want to be closer, (I want to be closer baby, baby ) to you baby
I want to be closer, (I, I, I, I, I,) to you baby
I want to be closer, (I want to be) to you baby (closer to you)
Switch Info 📰:
Switch was formed in Mansfield, Ohio, in December 1976 by Gregory Williams. They recorded a demo tape in Columbus, Ohio with the financial assistance of Bernd Lichters. Switch included Gregory Williams, brothers Tommy DeBarge and Bobby DeBarge, all from Grand Rapids, Michigan, along with Akron, Ohio natives Phillip Ingram (brother of singer James Ingram), Eddie Fluellen, and Jody Sims (originally from Steubenville, Ohio). Gregory Williams, Bobby DeBarge and Jody Sims had been members of White Heat, which released a self-titled album on RCA in 1975, but the band's producer, Barry White, soon shuttered his Soul Unlimited production company and dropped all the acts on the roster. Gregory Williams, then living in Akron, decided to form his own band.
The new group would become Switch due to their ability to switch to different lead vocalists and instruments during a song. After a demo was recorded by the newly formed, unnamed band, Gregory Williams and Jody Sims flew to LA and by sheer coincidence got the attention of Jermaine Jackson, former member of the Jackson 5, and Hazel Gordy Jackson (Jermaine's then-wife and daughter of Motown chief Berry Gordy Jr.), who heard the group's demo tape. Within weeks, the group was signed to Motown Records subsidiary record label Gordy Records. They recorded and released their self titled debut album some 18 months later in 1978, which featured their first Top 10 R&B hit single, entitled "There'll Never Be". The song also proved to be their biggest success on the Billboard Hot 100, where it was a Top 40 hit (their only one), peaking at #36.
Their songs were written by Gregory Williams, Bobby DeBarge and Jody Sims, sometimes in collaboration with Jermaine Jackson. Though they never managed to achieve significant crossover success into the pop singles chart, they were a consistent presence on the R&B charts through the late 1970s with albums such as: Switch II from 1979, This Is My Dream and Reaching For Tomorrow in 1980. Their final release on Gordy was Switch V, released in 1981. Songs such as "I Wanna Be Closer", "We Like To Party", "I Call Your Name", "Best Beat In Town", and "Love Over and Over Again" also became hits for the group.
Bobby DeBarge left the group in 1981 when Motown Records offered him a solo deal which was finalized in 1983. Tommy DeBarge also left the group in 1981 as both brothers began to mentor their younger siblings in the group DeBarge who had been signed to Motown Records. But because of their contractual obligations with Gordy Records, they weren’t able to join DeBarge as group members. Switch's lead singer Phillip Ingram also left the group to pursue a solo career.
Switch then took on new vocalists and musicians: singer Renard Gallo, Gonzales Ozen, and bassist Phil Upchurch Jr. This configuration of Switch signed with Total Experience Records (home of their contemporaries the Gap Band) and recorded a final album: Am I Still Your Boyfriend, in 1984 before breaking up later that year.
In 1985, Switch reformed with Gregory Williams and all new members, getting little traction in the music industry. Gregory Williams would go on to produced music for groups like TLC and Groove Theory. Phillip Ingram who was a part of the short lived group: Deco, got into songwriting, writing for the Temptations, Patti LaBelle and Janet Jackson, as well as for movies and commercials. Eddie Fluellen continued playing on sessions and performing at shows in Las Vegas.
In 1991, Motown Records released a greatest hits compilation album by Switch.
Former lead singer Bobby DeBarge passed away from AIDS related complications in Grand Rapids, Michigan on August 16, 1995 at the age of 39.
Former bass guitar player and backup singer Tommy DeBarge passed away on October 21, 2021 at the age of 64.
In 2008, TV One produced an Unsung episode on the DeBarge family.
In 2017, TV One produced an Unsung episode on the band Switch.
In 2019, TV One produced "The Bobby DeBarge Story" for television.
Switch has since reunited, featuring original members including: Gregory Williams, Eddie Fluellen, Phillip Ingram, Michael McGloiry and new co-lead vocalist Akili Nickson. They perform their songs live on stage in 2024.

He passed away from AIDS related complications on August 16, 1995, at the age of 39. He was laid to rest at Garfield Park Cemetery in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

❤❤❤❤❤
OMG! Bobby😮
⚘️🌹🥀🌷
I’m a little puzzled here by “first time hearing reaction” videos…Is one to believe that this is the first time you actually heard this classic song?
It’s not believable 🤓
Make it make sense…C’MON!!
Whoever started this video category should be BANNED and have all their money garnished!🤣
I believe this is the corniest genre of videos on TH-cam…
I just had to say it, because NO ONE ELSE WILL!!
God i love when y'all young folks listen to the music we jammed to vack in da day
If only more of them would take the time to listen and learn!
@@darrylgatewood9914 it could be generational thing I loved 70s music growing up but hated 50s music because it was my dad's generation
