"This is a LIVE interview on "The Sound of Soul with D'Nicole" (10.22.17) with musician and R&B/pop vocalist Phillip Ingram, who's best known for being a member of the Motown band SWITCH ("There'll Never Be," "I Wanna Be Closer," "I Call Your Name.") Phillip chats with me about his longevity in the music business, commenting on the ups and downs of his group SWITCH, the biggest check an artist can get outside of a hit record, how much he was influenced to pursue music by his older brother James Ingram ("Just Once," "One Hundred Ways"), and even the techniques he used to help his music students get out of their comfort zone." Darnea N. Samuels
