1: This great band is one of the best, but also one of the most underrated ensembles in the soul, disco and R&B genres during the first half of the 80s. They created a catchy, smooth and polished disco, and later R&B and pop funk sound, with a touch of heaven. Here is the story about the group that might let them shine a little bit longer and perhaps do so for new music lovers as well, they certainly deserve it!
It all started in 1979 with a nameless musical project. The name was finally agreed as "Change", a perfect name considering the coming changes of the number of projects in GMP Petrus decided to keep. The main forces behind Change was the Italian Davide Romani, that had joined GMP in 1977 as a self-taught bass guitar player, and fellow countryman Paolo Gianolio on guitar, with a solid classic guitar education behind him. Romani himself also wants to give a great deal of credit to another Italian musician, Rudy Trevisi, that played a more important role for Change than most people know. Romani didn't write anything in the first few years with GMP but got the greatest chance of his life on this new project after Petrus had persuaded him to compose some tracks despite the fact that Romani hadn't composed anything before. It turned out to be a very lucky strike for both Petrus and Romani. Together with Malavsi, Gianolio and Garfield they wrote all the tracks on the debut.
The only things left to do for Petrus was to find the singers and writers of the lyrics as the Italians hardly spoke any English. For that Petrus looked overseas, towards the USA. Soon he found guys like Wayne Garfield, that also (co-)wrote some tracks, and Tanyanette Willoughby for the lyrics and the two main vocalists in Luther Vandross and Jocelyn Brown.
It was Vandross that caught Petrus' attention after Petrus had heard Vandross's singing in a Coca-Cola ad spot.
Vandross, it was said, had a highly sensitive, emotional and expressive voice. Petrus began an almost immediate search to hire Vandross, who had earlier been a well-appreciated background singer for artists like Roberta Flack, David Bowie and Chic, and who had worked with highly successful and famous commercial advertisement firms for radio and television and had also been singing in the adult choir in the film "The Wiz" in 1978.
Vandross, it is widely known, had even released two rarely heard albums on the Cotillion record label imprint under the group name "Luther" in 1976 and 1977, but both of the albums, despite hitting the charts with one single from the debut becoming a very minor hit, didn't reach any great public or critical interest, and both records soon vanished into the flood of music industry legend.
This work on the first album of Change became Luther Vandross' big breakthrough, and opened up the road of incredible fame and commercial success as a "(second try)" solo artist with the strong debut, "Never Too Much" in 1981 on Epic Records label.
With that release and many others to come, Vandross became one of the biggest soul stars during the 80s and 90s.
Vandross realized his value when negotiating with Petrus and expressed two demands to him before joining in. He wanted the have full control of the recording process of his voice and be able to stop whenever he wanted if he wasn't satisfied with the recordings, and secondly to be credited as the main vocalist, something Petrus originally hadn't planned to do. Both demands were accepted. This was a bigger catch than anyone could ever imagine.
Jocelyn Brown, on her side, had made even deeper footprints in the sand of music than Vandross. She had earlier been a member of the obscure disco group "Musique" and became one of the original members of the later well-known "Inner life" band in 1979, and scored with them incredible hits like the remake of the classic hit "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" in 1981, and the catchy "I Like It Like That" in 1982.
Brown certainly did possess valuable experiences from the similar kind of music that Petrus/Malavasi produced and was, like Vandross, a perfect pick. She was later married Shaw and was for a short time credited as a background singer with that name on albums by Change in 80 and 81.
But in 82 she was divorced from Shaw, and used her old name once again and became, under that name a successful solo star during the 80s. Her solo career included the tasteful debut in 1984 including the funky dance hit "Somebody Else's Guy".
Important to remember though, is that Change were, despite great singers and a huge "band potential", a studio concept. The fact corresponded well with the stylish cubist album cover made by Frank Porto without any pictures or credits of Change being a band on the cover....

When The Morning Comes
Change Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
This discussion is not up for debate
Imma kill everybody that stands in my way
Give me a Glock nineteen in an arm sling
I become an army, no one can harm me
Enemy of state, break 'em like a plate
Spray 'em like mace with an AK, mayday, AA tank
They say I placate every babe I meet
But she's not safe
Slap her ass and watch the waves
I ride that high for several days
I pull grenades in explosive ways
Expose the waist and grab her face
I'm a massive pain with an ounce of weed
A masquerade, still unseen, your eyes will bleed
When I come through open firing on your irises
When I come through
When I come through
I might shoot right at you
When I come through
When I come through
When I come through
When I come through
I'm an evil sick fuck
Put my hands up on her big butt
Got an ass like a dump truck, finger up
Got my dick in her stomach, gonna rupture it
Give her no love when I'm arching her curves
Yeah I'm loving it, gonna swerve
Drive through her esophagus in a hearse
Got to admit it, I'm the worst type of person yup
Getting nervous nope
Found my purpose yup
It's reversing yup
Try to save everybody, funny
Make it really bloody, bloody
Enjoy the suffering, for wrist cuff cutting
Grab the guns for ammo dumping
When I come through
When I come through
I might shoot right at you
When I come through
When I come through
When I come through
When I come through
Don't expect me to be nice
I eat twice each time I pussy dive
Come up for air
Take a puff and blow it in her
Grab her hair
Smack her thighs, got gorgeous eyes
Too bad she's blind, I aim like bullseye
I am that guy, no appetite
Rap is like Adam sliding in to Eve
And after I stop to breathe
Atomize the atomic bomb
When I speak my mind
Imma kick my lines
And end my life when the air is live
Epitomize the meaning of illest mind
Grab my 9' and pick a fight
Load it up and pick a time
When I come through
When I come through
I might shoot right at you
When I come through
When I come through
When I come through
When I come through
When I come through
When I come through
I might shoot right at you
When I come through
When I come through
When I come through
When I come through
Imma kill everybody that stands in my way
Give me a Glock nineteen in an arm sling
I become an army, no one can harm me
Enemy of state, break 'em like a plate
Spray 'em like mace with an AK, mayday, AA tank
They say I placate every babe I meet
But she's not safe
I ride that high for several days
I pull grenades in explosive ways
Expose the waist and grab her face
I'm a massive pain with an ounce of weed
A masquerade, still unseen, your eyes will bleed
When I come through open firing on your irises
When I come through
When I come through
I might shoot right at you
When I come through
When I come through
When I come through
When I come through
I'm an evil sick fuck
Put my hands up on her big butt
Got an ass like a dump truck, finger up

The lyrics of Change's song "When The Morning Comes" depict a dark and violent narrative. The persona in the song expresses a disregard for human life and a desire for power and control. In the first verse, the persona declares his intention to eliminate anyone who stands in his way, symbolized by the reference to a firearm. He views himself as an unstoppable force, comparing himself to an army and an enemy of the state. The lines also touch upon his alleged mistreatment of women, suggesting a lack of empathy and a propensity for violence.
The second verse further emphasizes the persona's sadistic and destructive nature. He describes himself as an "evil sick fuck" and revels in causing pain and suffering. The lyrics portray him engaging in violent sexual acts and intentionally hurting others. The lines also hint at a desire for inflicting harm on himself, which may be an expression of self-hatred or a desire for an ultimate escape from reality.
In the third verse, the persona continues to showcase his dark and twisted nature. He boasts about not being a nice person and takes pleasure in dominance and control. The lyrics imply a pattern of objectifying women and engaging in risky behavior, such as drug use. The persona's mention of being blind and aiming with precision signifies his ability to exploit vulnerability and manipulate others to his advantage.
The repeated chorus reinforces the persona's intent to use violence as a means of self-expression and exerting power. These lines suggest the persona's readiness to shoot and harm others upon his arrival. The repetition of the chorus also creates a sense of intensity and a constant reminder of the persona's violent tendencies.
Overall, the lyrics of "When The Morning Comes" paint a disturbing picture of a deeply troubled individual who finds pleasure in causing harm to others. The song explores themes of violence, power, and a disregard for the consequences of one's actions. It serves as a stark and thought-provoking commentary on the dark impulses that can exist within humanity.

No doubt!
Practically all genres were just hit with the explosion of the creative-enlightenment bug!
Rock 'N' Roll, Hard Rock, Metal, Alternative, Punk, Ska, Grunge, to Pop, Country & Tejano.
What an amazing ride the 90s were, for the musical artists of that era! ✌😎
Joshua Byron
These guys were underrated pop songwriters. The structure of this song is unique and I am not ashamed to say that I love the Astro Lounge album.
cannon
Astro Lounge and Fush Yu Mang are my favorites
Peter Lee
Why would you be ashamed to like an album? Especially a good one.
Hazim
Me too
Ben Cortichiato
Joshua Byron For real, and I always thought in this song and others they sound like a futuristic version of The Doors
PepekBezlepek
I love the memes and all that but I also still love that album! The song structure and arrangements are really cool, also chords are really interesting in some songs <3
