Couple Thangs:
1) I’m in my weird inferior cover song phase, in the 60s/70s the @pandora of the day was #PartyAlbums, b4 streaming, we copped #nowthatswhaticallmusic cds—-pressed play & boom no DJ/wedding band needed! (B4 the 60s bands/jukeboxes kept the party up) the #KTel corp was the early bird in figuring out the cheapest way to make mixjams—instead of licensing/compiling the original versions, just pay a good local bar band cheap to go to cover like 15 bangers, & BOOM instant partyrecord!—anywho
2) Long b4 Big/Pac were sampling the illustrious #Debarge family, America got its 1st peak into the talent pool via #Switch (some say #BarryWhite discovered them 1st, legend gives credit to #JermaineJackson for bringing em to his father-in-law’s label to give em a deal & a career at #Motown). Switch’s name came from the endless talent possessed & their ability to switch instruments in concert. The two main voices of the group set off sibling legacies —Bobby Debarge & Phillip Ingram —-whose brother James Ingram would run the 80s smooth rnb somethin crazy—& he wrote #PYT so props)
—so Debarge’s debut held so much promise because that unique falsetto of Bob’s (similar to what his younger bro El did for the family namesake 5 years later) set people on fire. Especially the ballads and the harmony stacking.
I was 8 when their sophomore jawn came out so I wasn’t in music critic mode. But I discovered radio was lukewarm to #BestBeatInTown (if it weren’t for the #ThrowSomeDsOnIt sampled “I Call Your Name this lp coulda flopped). Even on @okayplayer I remember someone snarking “it sounds like a broadway showtune”—I took offense cause I thought it was fonkay. & I music snobbed argued that Funk Switch >>> Ballad Switch (*facepalm I know—) But sure enough on a showtune Party album comp. is a Switch/Debarge composition done in the SQUAREST way possible. I was wrong. This shoulda been in #AllThatJazz ??????
