Phillip Ingram / Press

“Without Phillip Ingram and Bobby DeBarge, there would not have been a SWITCH. The way they delivered the song "I Wanna Be Closer" proves that. Thank you Phillip & Bobby!! Thank you Greg Williams for your vision of a band like SWITCH because without that vision there would not have been the creation of SWITCH. - Sherry B”

“My name is Izabel and I'm from Brazil. I met you many years ago, in the movie "My Best Friend's Wedding" in 1997. And it was in this year that I met my husband too. The story is as follows, I'm in love with the song “I Say a Little Prayer” by Burt Bacharach, in the voice of the eternal Aretha Franklin. But watching the movie at the end of it, you sing the wonderfully beautiful song, passionate! Since then, the music in your voice has become our love anthem. And this March, my husband and I celebrated the 25th anniversary of each other, and I made a short video with our moments and our song sung by you in the background. So, I couldn't help but thank you for being part of these 25 years in our lives with this beautiful song. Thank you very much!!!!”

“WHEN IS PHILLIP COMING AGAIN? "Amazing! Phenomenal! You kept us on our toes from start to finish. When is Phillip coming again? The evening was incredible"”

“YOU GAVE A FABULOUS PERFORMANCE! I wanted to hear you sing a few more songs! I guess I have to wait until the next concert. You gave a fabulous performance on Saturday night!”

“YOUR PERFORMANCE WAS OUTSTANDING! You always add a new layer! You are just as crazy onstage as you are offstage, but you ALWAYS make everyone, everywhere feel welcome, at home and special. Thanks for your hard work and a great show. Your performance was outstanding!”

"YOU WERE GREAT AND NEARLY STOLE THE SHOW" Hi, I saw you at the Golden Nugget last night with Sheena Easton! You were great and nearly stole the show!

"YOU ARE ON FIRE!" I saw you last night in Atlantic City with Sheena Easton. You are on fire! What a beautiful voice and stage presence you have. I was so glad to be a part of it. God bless you! 🙂 All the best to you!

"YOUR VERSION OF 'I SAY A LITTLE PRAYER....ABSOLUTELY STUNNING." Just wanted 2 say your version of "I Say A Little Prayer" in 'My Best Friends Wedding' was absolutely STUNNING. It leapt out of the film & stung me like a bee! PURE CLASS. & I thank God for Youtube!

“Phillip, what can I say about your voice and your songs? I've just listened to "Love's a Heartache" album and that's enough for me to know how incredible you are, man. Definitely, I love your music! Good vibes from Marisol, Argentina”

"You are one of the Greatest Singers on the planet, my friend!" PP

"YOU SHOWED SOMETHING THAT NOT VERY MANY SINGERS COULD DO" 'Phillip, I always thought you were a very, very good singer, but on a couple of songs you showed something that not very many other singers could do. Very impressive"

“YOUR MUSIC CAREER IS EXCITING 'I'm so happy you wrote again your music career is exciting'”

"Phillip's voice is something you never get enough of"

"YOUR VOICE IS FLAWLESS" Mr. Ingram, the show was great last night. Your stamina is impeccable and your voice is flawless! I will attend every show you guys do in LA...I was so in awe of the harmonies..Can't wait to see you guys again.

“Phillip Ingram, you absolutely killed it tonight!!! ”

"ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS" One of my favorite songs by Phillip Ingram, is "Most of All". I allowed my 9 yr old to listen to it. She turned to me and with tears in her eyes she said, "Mommy, that song is just So beautiful! It just hits me right here". (Pointing to her heart). And she is correct. This song is truly beautiful.....

"I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR BRINGING SO MUCH ENJOYMENT / PLEASURE INTO MY LIFE" 'Mr. Ingram . . . For the past 20 plus years, I have listened to "Hearts On Fire" at least once a week. Your voice is incredible and I want to thank you for bringing so much enjoyment / pleasure into my life. I've shared this song with countless individuals and all have been moved by the incredible power of voice. Again, thank you very much'.

"YOU WERE AWESOME" - You were awesome tonight Phillip! Great hearing you sing!!

"ONE ENCHANTED EVENING" "There's joy in knowing that you're for real....." Truer words were never sung! It's impossible to fully express our delight in and gratitude for letting us spend last Friday evening in your company. We're still astounded by your graciousness and accessibility; being up close and personal with one of the greatest living singers exceeded our wildest dreams. Being able to delve into your career and history with Switch was one of the greatest honors of our lives. Your openness, humor and warmth are a credit to your talent and a testament to your character. We'll never forget your kindness and candor, and will always treasure that night. Already fans of your vocal ability and technique, we came away with a deeper appreciation of the man behind the music. We are forever grateful, but also thirsty for more! We'll keep an ear out for any new potential projects"

“'YOUR MUSIC IS TIMELESS' "Phillip, WOW! I've been a fan of SWITCH since I was a little girl in elementary school, your music is timeless"...”

"I CAN LISTEN TO HIS SINGING ALL DAY LONG." Probably one of the sweetest voices around...I can listen to his singing all day long

"I WILL ALWAYS BE A FAN OF YOURS FOR LIFE" Hey Phillip the show was absolutely fantastic last night. You guys really brought back the memories for me. One of the biggest honors was the opportunity to meet you in person, I will always be a fan of yours for life...

"IT WAS WELL WORTH THE WAIT" What's up Phillip? Just wanted to say we had a great (memorable) time with you and the group SWITCH downtown Akron on Sunday. I must say that after listening to your music since you started and watching your rise to fame I often wondered if and when you would return to Akron to do a show and I have to say 'it was well worth the wait'. You are very humble and down to earth and if you don't mind me saying so, pretty doggone silly too. LOL. Don't take so long coming back the next time, we would love to have you, your hometown family

"YOU JUST DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH WE ENJOYED IT..." Great show, you just don't know how much we enjoyed it and hope you can do it again in the near future

"THAT WAS THE BEST DOGGONE SHOW I'VE SEEN ALL YEAR" I'm not just saying it but... that was the best doggone show I`ve seen all year!

"LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT" Very good show..... loved every minute of it... done with class and represented well! Ole school=the ONLY school!

"FABULOUS SHOW LAST NIGHT" Fabulous show last night ~ so enjoyed the entire evening w old friends and great sounds! Loved hearing/seeing you again

“'ALWAYS HAVE AND WILL BE A FAN OF SWITCH' "Excellent concert last nite Phillip. I had a great time. Always have and will be a fan of SWITCH. Take care my dear friend, see you on your next visit home. stay blessed."”

“ALWAYS LOVED LISTENING TO YOU SING "Great concert! Always loved listening to you sing my friend!"”

"I WANT YOU TO KNOW HOW OVERJOYED I WAS..." I want you to know how overjoyed I was to see SWITCH at Lock 3. Switch is still sounding good and the harmonies are still strong and tight.

"THE WHOLE SHOW WAS TIGHT!!!!" Hey Phillip, excellent show, jam packed crowd. I like the way you guys did " I wanna be closer" "Next to You "and " Calling all Girls" , then again the whole show was TIGHT!!!!

"I'LL BE TALKING ABOUT THE SHOW YOU DID TONIGHT....UNTIL I AM 90 YEARS OLD" Phillip, I"ll be talking about the show you did tonite in Akron until I am 90 yrs old. You all were super

"SUPERLATIVE! PHENOMENAL! THERE ARE NO BETTER WORDS FOR DESCRIBING TONIGHT'S PERFORMANCE." Superlative!  Phenomenal!  There are no better words for describing tonight's performance. Wow!  You blew me away. I had the most amazing time.  Thank you for giving Akron the gift of Switch

"NOBODY I KNOW PERSONALLY CAN EVEN COME CLOSE, AND I KNOW PEOPLE WHO CAN BLOW...." ‎Phillip Ingram is BAD! Now, listen! I've heard my boy showcase that voice. Nobody I know personally can even come close, and I know people who can BLOW! But these songs feel good, I can feel them. Too bad he's not coming back to VA this year!!!

"IT WAS AS IF I HAD BEEN ABSORBED BY YOUR SINGING VOICE" - 'I'm emailing to tell you thank you for everything last Friday. I was glad to see you and see a show! It was as if I had been absorbed by your singing voice. I enjoyed an elegant time'.

Yuki Hanahara - Personal comment after seeing Phillip with Sheena Easton

“WOW, WOW, WOW!!!!!!! WHAT AN AMAZING CONCERT TONIGHT "Wow wow wow !!!!!!! What an AMAZING concert tonight @ Morengo Casino...you guys blew it up!!!!! Switch still is and will always be my favorite band of all time!!!!”

“AMAZINGGGGG "I FINALLY got a chance to see my FAVORITE group, that was an awsome show tonight. I drove all the way from Salinas to catch this one.. AMAZINGGGGG.....”

"I'M ADDICTED TO YOUR MUSIC" I just went to ReverbNation for the first time. I'm addicted to your music.

"YOU HAVE SUCH A MAGICAL VOICE AND COMMANDING STAGE PRESENCE" - Hi Mr. Ingram, My son, mother and I saw you perform at the Jazz Informance at the Sandler Center this past Saturday, August 28, 2010. I never knew the name of the band, but I knew all of the songs you said were by SWITCH! "You have such a magical voice and a commanding stage presence". Your portion of the show was 'magnificent' (the entire show was wonderful as well)-you had my 12 year old on his feet grooving! The song you sang about your wife Rebecca "No Place Like Home",and "Damaged Goods", in particular, gave me chills. I just wanted to thank you for a 'tremendous performance'.

“SHEENA EASTON ROCKS LANCASTER (Exert from article about band member Phillip Ingram) Easton's "We've Got Tonight" duo with band mate an vocal singer Phillip Ingram, in which Easton had originally recorded with Kenny Rogers in 1983 and shot to #1 on the country charts, silenced the enthusiastic audience who hung on each word, each movement and each step. Easton and Ingram strolled across the stage and met in the middle as they performed "We've Got Tonight", which to me was that "knock out blow" allot of bands look for in their live performances. Phillip Ingrams' voice, mannerisms, movements and on stage charisma was prevalent throughout this performance and solidified Easton's LPAC performance as one of the best I've seen. Easton told the audience that Ingram was the best she had sang with when performing duo's and it was easy to see why.”

"SHORTCUT TO FOREVER" IS REALLY A 'HIDDEN GEM' - "Shortcut to Forever" (Love Theme from "Neverending Story 3") Though the film "Neverending Story 3" has been ranked as "failure", or at least "not a blockbuster" by critics, we music fans do not wanna blame that on scores. The Score for the "Neverending Story 3" was composed by Peter Wolf, A great composer, songwriter, and producer originally from Austria. Apart from the film itself, Peter's score deserves more credits and applause. This is the love theme for "Neverending Story 3" written by Peter Wolf, and his-then-wife, Ina Wolf. Produced by Peter Wolf. The song is performed by Phillip Ingram(From the band "Switch"),and Siedah Garrett, known as a duet partner with Michael Jackson for his "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" and a co-writer of "Man in the mirror". "Shortcut To Forever is really a "Hidden Gem". Such a tender, powerful, and sweet ballad shouldn't be left behind in ashes of trashes.
