Change was an Italian-American post-disco group formed in Bologna, Italy in 1979 by businessman and executive producer Jacques Fred Petrus and Mauro Malavasi. They were heavily influenced by legendary disco band Chic. The band's debut album, The Glow of Love, was released in 1980. The first single was the million seller "A Lover's Holiday". The follow-up hits from the album, "Searching" and the title song feature lead vocals by Luther Vandross who had yet to come to prominence. The three songs combined set the all-time record, spending nine weeks at #1 on Billboard's Club Play Singles chart. The success of "Searching" and "The Glow of Love" exposed Luther's voice to mainstream and eventually led to a successful solo career soon afterward. The follow-up album, Miracles was released in 1981. Miracles was released to a similar level of success as the debut, though it did not manage to produce a mainstream crossover hit. "Paradise", "Hold Tight," and "Heaven Of My Life", combined were another huge hit on the Billboard Club Play Singles chart, spending 6 weeks at the number one spot in 1981. Change's 1982 album, Sharing Your Love, moved the band further away from disco and club music and into genres such as R&B and Funk. The lead single "The Very Best In You" was one of the foremost examples of the group's take on R&B. The failure of the 1983 album This Is Your Time left future of Change in jeopardy. Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis were brought in to produce Change Of Heart in 1984. The album did well internationally, returning the group to the charts in Europe and the USA. The title track became Change's first top ten R&B hit in three years. Change's final album was Turn on Your Radio in 1985, which included the band's final US hit - "Let's Go Together".
