Shoulda Gone Dancin' was the third album by High Inergy. Now reduced to a trio, this album features Barbara Mitchell (Vernessa's sister) on lead vocals, with Vernessa leaving the group during the recording sessions of this album to become a minister and gospel singer. Vernessa is featured lead vocalist on two of the seven songs included, and a brief solo at the beginning of the title track. Barbara would sing lead on the remaining tracks and on all other songs released as High Inergy from this point forward. The album peaked at #72 on Billboard's R&B Album charts and #147 on the Pop Album charts. The album spawned one chart single, the title track, which was a moderate dance and R&B hit. The extended dance mix of the title track also made a respectable showing on Billboard's Disco chart. Because of the sudden shake up in personnel, the album featured no photos of the group on the front or back cover.
