Change is a Alternative rock and Dance-pop act. Their sound grew out of Ritchie Family, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis and Chic.

Band, Skyy, Sharon Redd and Loose Ends, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Jocelyn Brown, The Ritchie Family, Paradise, Luther Vandross and C+C Music Factory, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
