Gregory Williams- SWITCH- Exclusive Interview @ 6PM PST

After a 30 plus year absence from the world recording scene, Switch is back with new music, starting with the single entitled “I Love You More.”

When you think of Switch, what comes to mind is silky smooth ballads, the soaring first tenor voice of Bobby DeBarge, the the deep, rich alto of Phillip Ingram and the lush, full background harmonies sang by Gregory Williams, Tommy DeBarge, Eddie Fluellen and Jody Sims. All of this on top of the most beautiful yet funky ballads to ever come out of the late 70’s, early 80’s R&B/Pop music scene. Songs like “There’ll Never Be”, “I Wanna Be Closer”, “I Call Your Name”, and “Love Over and Over” were written, arranged, produced and performed by this phenomenal group of six gorgeous men (which included the incredible guitar work of current member Michael McGloiry,) from whom the hits poured like fine wine..

While at Motown, from 1977 to 1983 Switch recorded five albums. Two went Platinum and three went Gold, culminating more than Eight Million record sales. After personnel changes, in 1983 the group Switch-ed from Motown to Total Experience/RCA Records. After releasing one album, in 1986 the group disbanded and remained that way for close to two decades. With Switch’s founder/leader Gregory Williams staying in contact with his Switch brothers over those years, in July 2003 he reached out to each of the guys, Switch reunited and welcomed newcomer Akili Nickson who ever so gracefully fills the empty shoes left by Bobby DeBarge (R.I.P.); and the band plays on!
