This song and the album it came from was produced by Jermaine Jackson. Lead singer is Bobby DeBarge. Big brother of the DeBarge singing group. Tommy DeBarge was on guitar.

Switch is definitely a one of a time group. Unfortunately the late, great, and legendary Bobby Debarge is no longer with us. Luckily his powerful singing voice will always live on. RIP Bobby Debarge

Tommy killing that bass and Bobby killing the vocals. RIP to them both

Bobby DeBarge had a great voice!! It's amazing that El sounds so much more like him than any of their other siblings. Yeah, the music is soooo good because it's real. Talented musicians. No machines.

They were just absolutely perfection 🥂❤️

Baddest Force ever baddest voice ever Bobby DeBarge

A super fantastic reaction 🦸🏾‍♂🦸🏾‍♀! I see 👁👁 that you have reacted to Switch before: I Call Your Name. There'll Never Be was the lead single released from Switch's 1978 album: Switch. It was written by Bobby DeBarge. It was produced by Bobby DeBarge. The song reached #6 on the R&B chart and #36 on the Hot 100. Bobby DeBarge, who is the lead singer on this song, is the second eldest member of the DeBarge family. Tommy DeBarge plays bass guitar in the group as well. El DeBarge performs "There'll Never Be" and "I Call Your Name" during his live on stage performances as a tribute to Bobby DeBarge. There'll Never Be has been sampled by some artists including: Erykah Badu, Tupac, Jiaani and Irealz. There'll Never Be has been covered by some artists including: SWV, Boyz II Men, RJ's Latest Arrival, Riff and The Isley Brothers with Ronald Isley ft Earth Wind & Fire and El Debarge. 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 2023.

Good job, nice 🎉🌿💥🎆💦

hey girl it might been his brother el debarge

One f the best bands ever. The lead singer, two of the brothers are eldest brother to James DeBarge (of the group DeBarge) who was very briefly married to Janet Jackson, Bobby DeBarge briefly dated LaToya Jackson, also youngest son Chico DeBarge had his share of hits in the late 90s but his first single “Talk To Myself “ is very catchy and the video very 80s. Unfortunately Bobby died and they never released a second album . There is a movie about them also.

You should react to el debarge singing this song you’ll see they practically have the same voice

THIZ IZ THA DEBARGE FAMILY , BOBBY N TOMMY, THIZ BAND IZ OUTSTANDING, MAY BOBBY, TOMMY , PEACE B UPON THEM N MAY ALLAH B PLEAZE WIT THEM. N ALL GOOD THEY DID AMEEN
