High Inergy

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)". The members of the group included Barbara Mitchell, Linda Howard, Michelle Rumph and Vernessa Mitchell.

Fashioned after Martha and the Vandellas and The Supremes (they were actually named after a 1970s Supremes 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.

The group would score a total of nine R&B hits before disbanding for solo careers in 1984.
