High Inergy
High Inergy was an American R&B and soul girl group who found fame on Motown Records in the late 1970s. They are best known for their hit, "You Can't Turn Me Off (In the Middle of Turning Me On)".
History
Based in Pasadena, California, the four ladies that would become known as High Inergy were discovered during a Bicentennial show in their hometown by Gwen Gordy Fuqua, the sister of Motown owner, Berry Gordy. The members of the group included lead singer Vernessa Mitchell, her sister Barbara Mitchell, Linda Howard and Michelle Martin (or Rumph). The Mitchell sisters were singers, while the remaining members were known primarily for their dancing.
Fashioned after Martha and the Vandellas and The Supremes (they were actually named after the 1976 Supremes High Energy album with just the 'e' changed to an 'i' in "energy"), the group was signed to Motown's Gordy subsidiary in 1977. They quickly found success with the R&B/pop hit, "You Can't Turn Me Off (In the Middle of Turning Me On)," which reached R&B #2 and U.S. #12.

Share what you've got
To keep what you need.
Right? Wrong!
Because I need all of you
I may share many things in life
But I will never share my man...
Everytime you love you love me
The way I like it, yeah
Everytime it's something different
I wouldn't share you if I could
You make me feel light as a breeze
Fly like an eagle
Touching life with ease
See the glow you excite within me
Ooh, the love is bursting, bursting in meeeeeeeeee
