High Inergy is a female ensemble from the Motown Family who were styled after The Supremes - and even take their name from a Supreme's LP. The group shared a success with their 1977 LP "Turnin' On" which included the single "You Can't Turn Me Off (In The Middle Of Turning Me On)" which reached #2 on the soul charts and #12 on the pop charts.
The group recorded several projects up to 1983 and then disbanded - however their contribution with "You Can't Turn Me Off" keeps their memory alive forever in disco land.
I have taken the 1987 romantic comedy "Mannequin" and paired up the track for a spin with Andrew McCarthy and Kim Cattrall. It is a silly film about a window dresser who falls for a mannequin who comes to life thanks to an old Egyptian spell. The romance works well with the flow of the song.
The film was directed by Michael Gottlieb
