There are at least four bands/artists with the name Change:

1: This great band is one of the best, but also one of the most underrated 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.

No sorry - I think 'Searching' is their best (I have the 12" vinyl too!) Such a pity all these 'THINK-they-do-gooders are causing problems with playing of these classics. How else do the golden oldies live on except through exposure to the younger audiences> Us older generations already own these records and have long-since burnt to CD. (OK, end of rant!)
