Known mostly as a training ground for future superstar Luther Vandross, the group Change was a popular disco/dance act in the early 80s.
Formed by Jacques Petrus and Mauro Malavasi, the group topped the dance charts for two months in 1980 with the Vandross-led smash “The Glow of Love” (Change hits “The Glow of Love” and “Searching” were later included on Vandross’s The Best of Love compilation). By ’81 Vandross was gone to a solo career, replaced by Diva Gray and James Robinson, who sang on the group’s remaining hits, the biggest of which were “Paradise” and “Change of Heart.”
The group stayed in limbo for three decades, before returning in 2018 with Love 4 Love, which was well received by critics and fans.
