High Inergy was an American R&B and soul girl group who found fame on Motown Records in the late 1970s.

High Inergy started in 1976 when the four founding singers were discovered by Gwen Gordy Fuqua during a Bicentennial show in Pasadena, California.

It has always been a mystery as to why Berry Gordy held on to this female group for so long and kept releasing albums and numerous singles.

Original lead singer Vernessa Mitchell left at the start of their third album "Shoulda Gone Dancin'" to go into gospel music.

[3] Smokey Robinson performed two duets with Barbara Mitchell on Groove Patrol,[1] High Inergy's last album, which was released in 1983.
