The new group would become Switch due to their ability to switch to different lead vocalist and instruments during a song. After a demo was recorded by the newly formed, unnamed band, Williams and Sims flew to LA and by sheer coincidence got the attention of Jermaine Jackson, former member of the Jackson 5, and Hazel Gordy Jackson (Jermaine's then-wife and daughter of Motown chief Berry Gordy Jr.), who heard the group's demo tape. Within weeks, the group was signed to the Motown Records Gordy subsidiary label. They recorded and released their self titled debut album some 18 months later in 1978, which featured their first Top 10 R&B hit single, entitled "There'll Never Be".
